IMPORTANT
Interconnecting pipes must be free from damage and
contamination. Lubricate all plug-in joints (O-ring seals) on
the collectors. Use only the special grease supplied with
the connection set.
On the first and last collector, the side to which the rating
plate
A
is attached must be on the outside. Ensure that
dimension “r” is maintained for first and last collector.
CAUTION
Never step, lean or place objects on the collectors.
