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
