RACK FOR 0.9m
The rack is made of galvanised tubes of Ø25 mm and is intended for installing of a solar panel of 1.5x0.6 m size comprising an integral part of the supply. After assembling the unit, the rack and the panel
should be positioned to make the best use of solar radiation.
CAUTION:
DO NOT PLACE THE RACK TOO CLOSE TO THE SWIMMING POOL AS THE RISK MUST BE AVOIDED THAT IT COULD BE USED BY CHILDREN OR PETS FOR GETTING EASIER INTO THE POOL.
The solar panel can be installed in any of the following ways:
• On a free place using the supplied feet (it should be secured against movements);
• On a vertical wall using appropriate holders;
• On an inclined surface – a specialised firm should be entrusted with the installation.
Procedure of assembly according to the figures shown herein:
• Unpack all parts, check the completeness of supply and arrange the parts according to their numbers given in the Parts List.
• Assembly the rectangular rack using the four tubes, nos. [1], [2], [3] and [4]. Press the respective tube ends into each
other (as in spigot and socket joints), so that the respective mounting holes (for cotter bolts) match each other. Burrs
should be removed from the holes, if any.
• Assembly the rack support using tubes nos. [5], [6] and [7] in the same way.
• Place the rack onto the support and bolt the assembly firmly using the supplied bolts and nuts, as shown in the figures
herein below. The shorter bolts [8] should be used for fixing the movable joints (Fig. 2), the longer ones [9] for fixing
crossing tubes together (Fig. 1).
• Now fix the assembled tubes nos. [5], [6] and [7] to the rear part of the support.
The rack is now ready for mounting the solar panel.

Wall Mounting
• If the rack (and panel) is intended for wall mounting, the basic rectangular
rack should be assembled only. The tube [6] of the support and supplied
holders with holes [10] should be used for the purpose, too. Assemble the
parts according to the diagram shown herein below. The upper holes in
the employed tubes should be closed with the plastic plugs supplied [11].

Description
Solar Panel Installation
• Position the rack on the selected place.
• Provide the upper and lower edges of solar panel with the protecting
plastic strips included in the supply.
• Put the strips of galvanised sheet metal onto the plastic strips. The metal
(U) strips strengthen the solar panel edges and prevent them from
deflection.
• Place the panel on the rack and attach it to the rack using the straps and
clamps. Lead the fixing strap in around the tube and the panel in the way
shown in Figs. 4 and 5). Fig. 6 shows the use of buckles. Distribute the
straps regularly along the panel length, placing them particularly in the
points, where the rack is not supported.
• The panel has a large area exposed to both sunlight and wind.
Therefore, its firm installation is very important; it has to be well
attached to the rack and the rack must be securely fixed to the
ground, using, e. g., U-shaped steel anchors.
Rack Maintenance
• The rack is not made of corrosion resistant materials and after a time it can
show signs of corrosion caused by weather effects That is why it should
be regularly checked in this respect and any possible signs of corrosion
put right (by rust removal and repainting with suitable protecting paint.
• After the end of bathing season disassemble the rack and store it in
a dry place.
