AVOID EXPOSING TO RAIN OR SNOW.
DO NOT LEAVE EXPOSED TO FLOODING
The plastic wrap and/or cardboard is intended to
prevent temporary contact with dirt, water or oth-
er materials but will not protect the modules from
damage resulting from excessive rain, snow and
flooding. 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
materials. 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 flexing the
laminates or applying non-distributed loads and
stresses. Avoid scratching the surface of the exte-
rior glass or backsheet. Do not apply any forces to
the backsheets. Do not drop the modules or pallets
from any height.
HANDLE WITH CARE
During the operation of shipping and storage of
the modules use maximum care to ensure the full
integrity of the modules. Hidden cell damage can
result if care is not taken.
DO NOT STEP ON MODULE
DO NOT STACK MORE THAN TWO PALLETS HIGH
