Contact withelectrically active parts of the modulesuch as terminals can result in burns,sparks, and lethal shock whether themodule is connected ordisconnected. The installer assumes the risk ofall injury that might occur duringinstallation, including, withoutlimitation, the risk of electric shock. PV modules generate DCelectrical energy when exposed tosunlight or other light sources.Although single modules produceonly a low voltage and current,shocks and burns are still a potentialhazard. To avoid the hazard of electricshock and injury, cover all over thefront surface of PV modules with adense opaque material such as thecardboard box during installing andhandling modules. The shock hazard increases asmodules are connected in parallelproducing higher current. Theshock hazard increases as modulesare connected in series producinghigher voltages. To avoid the hazard of electricshock, work only under dryconditions, with dry module andtools. Do not stand or step on amodule to avoid the hazard of injuryand the damage to a module.Do not damage the back sheet ofa module, to avoid the hazard ofelectric shocks and fire. To avoid the hazard of electricshock and injury, Children andunauthorized persons should not beallowed near the installation of thesolar cell modules. To avoid the hazard of electricshock and injury, be sure to groundthe modules completely.

Do not carry a module by wire orjunction box to avoid the hazard ofelectric shock and injury or anytroubles in a module, which it maycause. Do not drop anything on thesurfaces of modules to avoid thehazard of electric shock and injury orany troubles that it may cause. To avoid the hazard of electricshock and fire, be sure that othersystem components do not causeany hazard of any mechanical orelectrical nature to the module. Since sparks may be generated,do not install module whereflammable gases or vapors arepresent. Never leave a moduleunsupported or unsecured. Do notdrop module and do not allowobjects to fall on module to avoid thehazard of injury or any troubles inmodules that it may cause. Do not use or install brokenmodules to avoid the hazard ofelectric shock and injury. Do not artificially concentratesunlight on module to avoid thehazard of fire or any trouble. Do not touch the Junction boxterminals to avoid the hazard ofelectric shock and injury. Do not change wiring of bypassdiodes to avoid the hazard of electricshock and injury. Use module for its intendedfunction only.Do not treat the back sheet andfront surface with paint or adhesivesto avoid any troubles.General Installation ManualGeneral Installation Manual for SANYO HIT Photovoltaic (PV) Modules.Please read this manual completely before installing or using the modules.This manual is applied for the following products:㩷㩷㩷㩷 HIP-190BE3, HIP-180BE3, HIP-175BE3, HIP-167BE3CAUT IONS㧍㧍W A R N I N G㧍㧍
