SAFETY FIRST.

13.2 Correct Handling of Module Packaging

Each package has been designed for safe shipment and

storage of modules. The following symbols apply to the

packing, with the following meanings:

AVOID EXPOSING TO RAIN OR SNOW. DO

NOT LEAVE EXPOSED TO FLOODING: The

plastic wrap and/or cardboard is intend-

ed to prevent temporary contact with dirt,

water or other materials but will not pro-

tect the modules from damage resulting

from excessive rain, snow and ooding.

Modules should be stored in a sheltered

dry location whenever possible. Modules

are not to be stored outside for a period

exceeding 60 days.

KEEP PACKAGING UPRIGHT: The packaging is

only designed to be handled and stored with the

modules sitting on the pallet as per Fig. 7. Not

following these indicated directions may create

forms of mechanical stress on the modules that

could cause damage or breakage.

RECYCLE WHERE POSSIBLE: Both modules

and packaging contain recyclable materi-

als. Use caution when dealing with dam-

aged modules.

FRAGILE: Any direct impact to the glass or

on the corners of the modules should be

avoided. Avoid exing the laminates or ap-

plying non-distributed loads and stresses.

Avoid scratching the surface of the exterior

glass or backsheet. Do not apply any forces

to the backsheets. Do not drop the mod-

ules or pallets from any height.
