Installing another collector 

There is only one mounting frame between two collectors, which supports 
both collectors. 
 
3. Attach the collector (1) to the front U-pieces. 
To do so, position the collector with the help of a second person. First attach a 
small spacer sleeve (6.3) to the preassembled M10 x 100 mm hexagonal bolt 
between the collectors, then attach the collector with a T-piece (6.1) and then a 
spring washer (4.8) and hexagonal nut (4.9). 
 
Preassemble the second T-piece to the second U-piece using an M10 x 100 mm 
hexagonal bolt (4.7), a small spacer sleeve (6.3), and a large spacer sleeve (4.10). 
 

 

 
4. Tilt the collector towards the supporting tubes. First attach two small spacer 
sleeves (6.3) to the preassembled M10 x 100 mm hexagonal bolt (4.7), then attach 
the collector with a T-piece (6.1) and then a spring washer (4.8) and hexagonal nut 
(4.9). 
Preassemble the second T-piece using an M10 x 100 mm hexagonal bolt (4.7) and 
two small spacer sleeves (6.3). 
Screw the M10 x 100 mm hexagonal bolts (4.7) between the collectors tightly. 
 

 

 
Installing the last collector 
 
5. The last collector in the collector array is installed in the same way as the first 
one. The outer T-pieces are attached to the U-piece or the supporting tube 
according to the enlargements on the right of pictures 1 and 2.
