Do not damage, pull, bend, or place heavy material on cables.9. Upon completion of any service or repairs, ask theinstaller/servicer to perform routine checks to determine thatthe PV modules are in safe and proper operating condition.10. When replacement parts are required, be sure theinstaller/servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer withsame characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorizedsubstitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazard.11. Consult your local building and safety department for requiredpermits and applicable regulations.12. In regions with snow, the module can sustain a snow load of upto 50cm (when the module is mounted in the portrait orientation/ short frame side facing down) or 100cm (when the module ismounted in the landscape orientation / long frame side facingdown).13. As a result of sliding snow, the mechanical load increases whenthe number of module rows in the matrix of a PV installationincreases. When mounting the module in the portrait orientationfor more than 3 rows, the accumulated snow load may causethe lower edge of the module frame to deform. Take necessarymeasures (e.g. snow stopper) to avoid possible damage.14. Periodically remove any overhanging snow and/or ice from themodule framework as it may cause deformation of the moduleframe.GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS1.
