without properly lifting them first. The forklift should be close
to the ground in order to avoid the top of module pallets from
touching the top of the cabinet door. For CS6W, CS7N and
CS7L modules, the thickness of forklift blades should be less
than 80 mm when unloading the pallets. The length of the
forklift blades should be longer than 2300 mm when
unloading pallets of CS6W modules from short side. For
unloading pallets of CS7N and CS7L modules, the length of
the forklift blades should be longer than 1250 mm and the
distance between the forklift blades should be wider than 600
mm (from middle to middle of the forklift blades). Visit our
website or consult your Canadian Solar representative for
more detailed CS7N and CS7L unpacking instructions.
Unpack module pallets carefully, following the steps shown
on the pallet. Unpack, transport and store the modules with
care.
Modules must always be unpacked and installed by at least
two people. Always use both hands when handling
modules with gloves.
For modules vertically packed (CS7L and
CS7N), one person must be present to
prevent the unpacked modules from falling
during the unpacking process. Please use an anti-tipping
structure. Such structure can be built with the pallet’s own
wooden frame or with the spare parts provided in the
pallets.
During unpacking, the unpacked modules should be
properly fixed. After unpacking, it is recommended to place
the remaining un-installed modules horizontally on a pallet,
not exceeding the total number of 12 modules in one stack.
Visit our website or contact your Canadian Solar
representative for more detailed unpacking requirements.
Do not
lift modules by their wires or junction box, lift them
by the frame.
Do not
allow the modules to sag or bow under their own
weight when being carried.
Stacking of modules should be limited to no more than 12
modules and frames should be aligned with one another on
the pile.
Do not
place excessive loads on the module or twist the
module.
Do not
carry modules on your head.
Do not
drop or place objects (such as tools) on the
modules.
Do not
use sharp instruments on the modules. For single
glass modules with polymer backsheets, particular care
should be taken to avoid module backsheets being
damaged by sharp objects, as scratches may directly affect
product safety.
Do not
leave modules unsupported or unsecured.
Do not
stand, step, walk and/or jump on modules under
any circumstances. Localized heavy loads may cause
severe micro-cracks at cell level, which in turn may
compromise module reliability and void Canadian Solar’s
warranty.
Do not
change the wiring of bypass diodes.
