Solmetric Module Lift Bedienungsanleitung

Module Lift Instructions

Thank you for purchasing the Solmetric Module Lift. Please read the following instructions and safety

warnings before using. The following parts are included with your Module Lift kit:

•Pulley Assembly

•Rope (60 or 80 foot long)

•Module Handle assembly

•3 Ramps

•Canvas Carrying Bag

Introduction

The Solmetric Module Lift is designed to help you safely and quickly transport a solar PV module on

to a roof. The system uses your existing Werner or Louisville fiberglass extension ladder.

The Pulley Assembly is attached to the top of the ladder and includes a Brake that prevents the

module from sliding back down the ladder. The Module Handle, which includes two “Hook” shaped

features, engages the edge of a PV module frame. “Teeth” in the Hook slots minimize lateral sliding

of the module in the slots.

The Module Lift is intended to be used by two operators. An operator at the bottom engages the

Hooks with a single module and pulls the Rope to raise the module. An operator at the top removes

the module from the Hooks and releases the Brake to allow the Module Handle to slide back down

the ladder. The Module Handle is weighted to ease in the lowering.

The module slides along the outer-facing surface of the ladder rails. "Ramps" allow the module to

slide over obstructions along the outer surface such as the step between ladder sections, protruding

ladder guide brackets, and rafter straps.

In this document, a Warning identifies hazardous conditions and procedures that are dangerous to

the user and could lead to property damage, injury, or death.

Warning: The Module Lift is compatible only with Werner

and Louisville fiberglass extension ladders. Other ladders are

not approved for use with the Module Lift and may cause

damage, injury, or death. Do not use the Module Lift with

aluminum ladders.

Setup

1. Inspect the Module Lift components to verify

they are still safe to use. Verify:

•Rope is not cut or frayed.

•Module Handle is not bent or bowed and

hooks are not bent, worn, or broken.

•Teeth (screw threads) inside Hook slots are

not worn or contaminated with debris.

•Ramps are not cracked, broken, or worn.

•Chain couplers are tight.

•Brake prevents Handle from lowering

without lifting the Brake handle.

2. Set up the ladder.

•Use the proper lean angle (4:1 angle or 75o

relative to the ground). Ladder must be plumb

side-to-side.

•Extend ladder 3 rungs above the roof edge for

a one-story building, and 5 rungs above for a

two-or-more story building.

•Secure the top of the ladder to the eave using

ladder straps.

3. Hang the Pulley Assembly on the top rung of

the ladder.

•The Rope must be threaded around the

Pulley so that the loose end is exiting on the

right side.

•The Rope and

Module. Handle

should be on the

outside of the ladder

(i.e. the side facing

away from the

building).

•Secure the Elastic

Toggle around the top

rung to hold the Pully

in place.

4. Hang ramp for ladder

straps.

If ladder straps are

around the rails, hang a

Ramp on the rung just

above the ladder straps.

This ramp can be

eliminated if the ladder

straps attach to a rung

rather than the rails.

Warning: Do not use the Module Lift if any

components are damaged or not safe to use.

Warning: If the angle of the ladder is not

correct, or the top of the ladder is not secured

to the eave, the ladder may tip back when the

rope is pulled causing damage, injury, or death.

Warning: Ramp must be positioned so that

when a module slides up the rails of the

ladder, it will not make contact with a ladder

strap.

5. Hang ramp above guide brackets.

•Hang a second Ramp on the rung just above the ladder

guide brackets (typically at the top of the lower ladder

section).

•Do not hang the ramp below the bracket.

6. Hang Ramp below step between sections.

Hang a third Ramp on the rung just below the step between

ladder sections (typically at the bottom of the upper ladder

section).

Raising Modules to Roof

1. Attach module.

The operator at the bottom of the ladder attaches the Module Handle in the middle of the long side of a

single module with the module in landscape orientation.

•The module glass must be facing the ladder.

•The thin edge of the module frame engages in the two Slots of the Hooks.

•Have some tension on the Rope to hold Hooks in place.

•Visually verify that the module frame is fully seated in the Hook Slots by looking through the opening.

Warning: Do not drop the Ramps from the ladder because they may break.

Warning: Do not operate near energized equipment or power lines.

Warning: Ramp must be positioned so that when a module slides

up the rails of the ladder, it will not make contact with the

bracket.

Warning: Do not hang the ramp on the bottom rung of the upper

ladder section or the module may get hung up on the ramp and

could become dislodged from the Module Handle and fall.

2. Raise Module.

The operator at the bottom then pulls the Rope to raise the

module.

•The operator at the bottom should stand within one step from

the base of the ladder.

•The rope should be pulled down, not out from the ladder,

otherwise the ladder could be pulled away from the building

and fall on the operator.

•Wear gloves and a hard hat.

•Stop pulling when the top of the module is just above, the

roof line so that there is slack in the rope below the pully.

3. Remove Module.

Wearing proper fall protection, the operator at

the top removes the module from the Hooks by

either directly lifting the module and allowing

the Hooks to slip off, or by first lifting the

Module Handle with one hand and then lifting

the module with the other.

4. Release Break.

The operator at the top

releases the brake to

lower the Module

Handle back down to

the bottom of the

ladder

Warning: Do not operate the Module Lift in windy conditions or the module may be lifted off the ladder

causing property damage, injury, or death.

Warning: Do not stand under the ladder or at the base of the ladder when a module is being raised, unless

you are the one raising it.

Warning: Do not place your foot or any part of your body on the ladder while pulling a module up. If for

some reason the module were to slide down uncontrollably, injury or death may occur.

Warning: Do not climb ladder when ramps are in place.

Lowering Modules to Ground

The process above for raising modules to the roof can be reversed to lower modules from the roof to the

ground (e.g. during an un-install).

1. Attach Module.

The operator at the top secures the module to

the Module Handle and, holding the Module

Handle, positions module on ladder rails.

2. Release Break.

The operator at the top verifies that the

operator at the bottom is ready with a good grip

on the rope and then releases the brake.

3. Lower Module

The operator on the bottom lowers the module

by slowly letting out the Rope while the operator

at the top holds the brake fully released.

4. Remove Module.

The operator at the bottom removes the

module from the Hooks.

5. Raise Handle.

The operator at the bottom pulls the rope to raise the empty Module Handle back up to the top. Getting

the handle past a step between ladder sections may require pulling the rope quickly to “jump the gap”

between the ramp and the next ladder section and avoid hanging up.

Warning: Do not use the brake to lower the module because it is difficult to control the rate of decent, and

also it will wear out the brake and/or the rope.

Warning: Good communication between the operator at the top and the operator at the bottom is critical

to coordinate the lowering of the module and avoid an un-controlled slide of the module.

Warning: When lowering a module it is critical that the module not become hung up as it is sliding down,

otherwise tension in the rope may be lost and the module may become disengaged from the Module

Handle. Ensure proper ramp positioning.

Disassembly

Disassemble the system in the reverse order of setup, starting by removing the lowest Ramp and working

up. Lower the Pully Assembly by the rope so you don’t have to carry it down the ladder. Do not drop any

parts.
