It is advisable to clamp the cable a.

end clamps onto a non-conductive

material such as plastic or wood to

keep them from touching.

With the help of an assistant (if nec-5.

essary) to hold the Panel steady and

in place, drive the supplied screws

through the smaller mounting holes

and into the holes drilled into the

mounting surface.

The solar panel is now ready to be at-6.

tached to a battery for recharging.

Mount on horizontal surface

The Solar Panel (1) can be placed 1.

at on the ground or oor, or placed

at an angle using the two supplied

threaded Mounting Stand Rods (6).

(See Fig. 2.)

Although it is not necessary, the a.

cable plug can be plugged into the

electrical connection with the clamps

attached to non-conductive material.

Placing at an angle enables the panel 2.

to make most efcient use of sunlight.

The Mounting Stand Rods (6) thread a.

into two bolts built into the back of

the frame at the opposite end from

the connector.

The Mounting Stand Rods can be 3.

moved closer to the center of the

frame to give a greater angle if de-

sired.

With the panel placed at the desired 4.

location, the cable clamps can now

be attached to the proper battery

terminals.
