2) Remove the upper cap.
3) Lift up and remove the sleeve.
4) Remove the plastic bag with a cutting tool.

C. Safety Considerations
Bosch recommends that the solar modules be stored indoors in their original packaging until ready for
final installation. Dry storage conditions are important for protecting the integrity of the cardboard
assembly components. Loose solar modules should be stored standing upright on wedge-shaped
corner protectors with suitable padding. Adequate padding must be placed between the individual
solar modules as well. The solar modules should be secured against tipping over.
CAUTION: Always adhere to the following pallet box handling precautions:
1) The module contains glass and is fragile. Handle the transportation box as well as the PV
module with care.
2) Wear gloves to avoid injury by sharp edges
3) DO NOT stack more than 2 pallet boxes on top of one another
4) DO NOT get pallet or cardboard components wet as they may collapse
after long-term exposure to moisture
5) Always maintain the pallet box in flat position.
ground may cause module breakage.
6) Move 2 boxes at a time when transporting by fork lift
7) DO NOT cut the polyethylene straps until installation commences
