Solar Panel – Tank Mounted Assembly Instruction
1. Before beginning the assembly ensure the side of the tank hangs over the tie.
2. Assemble the pole into one piece and mount the solar panel to the pole. Use four bolts to help position
the pole’s clamp blocks to the tank. These bolts must be

10” long.
3. Using the studs, position two of the clamp block halves at their mounting locations top and bottom. Screw
the four studs into the tapped holes in the tank body to properly locate the clamp blocks and help hold
their position during this assembly.
4. Raise the assembled pole and solar panel into the vertical position against the tank and into the clamp
block halves.
5. Turn the solar panel so that it is facing south.
6. Position the second pair of clamp block halves, sliding them over the studs and against the back halves.
Remove one stud at a time, replacing them with the provided Allen head bolts and lock washers. The solar
panel pole kit includes an Allen wrench for tightening these
four bolts.
Solar Panel – Away from Tank Assembly Instruction
Locate the panel so that the supplied cable (35 ft./10.7 meter long)
will reach the tank. Do not use a longer cable than the one supplied,
as longer lengths will result in a voltage drop which may not allow
the system to operate properly. If longer lengths are necessary,
please contact us.
EXERCISE EXTREME CARE WHEN HANDLING THE SOLAR
PANEL AND WORKING WITH SOLAR PANEL WIRING. FAILURE
TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN EQUIPMENT DAMAGE OR BODILY
INJURY.
