Frame Assembly
Assemble the frame as indicated in the sketch below:
Ensure that all the bolts and nuts are tight.
Securing the System
Ensure that the intended location is sufficient to support the full weight the system when it is filled
with water, and that there will be negligible sag that can damage rigid materials such as tiles if there
is any movement.
The rear legs are attached to a spreader beam to spread the weight of the water in the tank across the
roof area. The spreader contains holes that allow the frame to be secured to the structure on which it is
mounted. Use suitable bolts and nuts to secure the feet to the structure. Ensure that all feet are secured
to a ridged part of the mounting structure. Any penetration of the roof structure must be suitably
repaired to maintain the waterproofing.
Failing to adequately secure the system to the structure can result in the frame flexing when subjected
to high winds. This can cause excessive stress on the frame, tubes and tank and can result in the tubes
fracturing.

Where extremely high winds are experienced, additional care must be taken in
securing the system and additional stainless steel guys may also be required to ensure
that the system is securely mounted.
Mounting the Main Tank and Reservoir Tank

Always secure the pipe connection to the tank with a spanner to prevent any axial or
twisting forces on the pipe. Use the mounting support bracket for the reservoir tank
and adjust the feet to ensure that there is no axial force on the pipe connection.
Remove the thread protection caps and nuts from the tank mountings.
Lift the main tank and position it on the frame curved tank mounting brackets, ensuring that
the bolts are not pushed into the tank. The tube holes should be pointing towards the front of
the frame and the pipe connections should be on the right hand side when looking at the
collector from the front. Put the tank bolts into the slotted holes in the tank mounting bracket
and lightly tighten the nuts onto the bolts.
