10. Follow all safety precautions of other equipment and components used in the PV system.
11. Retain this manual for future reference.
12. Grape Solar recommends that the customer makes a note of the serial numbers of modules to keep a

II. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. General Safety
1.1 Ensure that the modules are used for the intended purpose only.
1.2 When installing, operating and maintaining the PV system, observe all local, regional, national
and international statutory regulations, guidelines, norms and code requirements.
1.3 The safety information for other system components must also be followed.
1.4 Keep children away from the module and PV system.
2. Handling Safety
2.1 The utmost care is required when unpacking, transporting, and storing the modules. Leave
modules in packaging until they are to be installed.
2.2 Always store the modules in a dry, ventilated in-door space if possible. If the un-connected
modules must be stored outside for any length of time, always have the glass surface facing
down and cover modules with water-proof material to prevent water collecting inside the panel
and causing damage to exposed connectors.
2.3 Carry modules with both hands. Do not use the junction box as a handle to hold or transport the
module.
2.4 Do not stand or step on the module.
2.5 Do not drop module or allow objects to fall on module.
2.6 Do not mark or scratch the front or rear surface of the module with sharp objects.
