4) Grease two connecting hoses (#411000) with acid-free silicone grease.
Attention:
Use only acid-free silicone grease (or blue gel) that is suitable for EPDM O-rings and can
withstand temperatures between -20°C and +70°C. This is supplied.
5) Slide the two connecting hoses into the headers until both O-rings are no longer visible, see figure
7.2-c.

6) Place the next panel on the rails and secure with the M8 bolts against slipping. Carefully
push the entire panel sideways in one controlled movement to allow the headers to slide
over the connecting hoses.
Attention:
Beware of damaging the connecting hoses and the O-rings. If in doubt, replace!
7) Secure both panels with the TS middle clamp (#310200) and socket head screw M8x40
(#331150), see figures 7.2d and 7.2e.
8) Repeat steps 1 through 7 until the entire row of panels is in place.
9) When all end clamps and middle clamps are tight, the M8 bolts which were mounted to
prevent slipping, can be removed.
