WARNINGS & SAFETY INFORMATION

• Make sure to keep your solar blanket away from any liquids at all times.
• Keep the solar blanket clean at all times (always check connectors to ensure they’re free of grit before plugging them in). To clean the panels, use a soft cloth or soft brush.
• Do NOT use the solar blanket to charge non-rechargeable batteries, doing so may result in harm to the user and/or damage the solar blanket.
• Only use the provided solar blanket with suitable regulators and adapters/wiring available separately.
• All lead-acid batteries produce harmful, explosive gases. The battery should be mounted in a well-ventilated area, as far as possible from any ignition sources. Do NOT smoke or have a naked flame in the vicinity of the battery under charge.
• Never tamper with or pull any component of the solar blanket or wiring apart. If you do so, you will void the warranty.
• Always store the solar blanket folded, protected from the weather and with good ventilation.
• Ensure nothing sharp or heavy could potentially damage the solar blanket during transport or storage.
• Ensure the solar blanket is supported when setting up or packing away, avoid bending or flexing the solar blanket cells, as doing so can damage or internally crack the solar cells reducing the output
• Only use the solar blanket to charge 12V batteries.
• Do not place the solar blanket on your vehicle’s bonnet or paintwork during use.

WARNING : The manufacturer is not responsible for any potential injury from misuse
WARNING : This is an unregulated solar panel – ensure you connect a suitable regulator (available separately) to prevent damage to the battery.

• Ensure the regulator or DC-DC Charger is suitable for the battery type you are charging (AGM, GEL, LiFePO4 etc)

TROUBLESHOOTING

ensuring the polarity (+ and -) are correct. Change if incorrect.
Plug terminals are not correctly seated| Ensure the terminals in the quick connect plug are firmly connected. To seat the terminals push them from the back of the plug until you hear a ‘click’
Panel has been incorrectly connected to 12V system| Ensure the panel has been connected to the correct terminals on the solar regulator
Ensure regulator is suitable for solar and battery type.
No open Circuit Voltage recorded on panel| Use a multimeter or voltmeter to measure the voltage of the panel at the quick connect plug. The meter should display 18~21V in full sun. If there is no voltage present, there may be an internal short circuit or broken circuit. Contact customer service for further assistance.

CLEANING, CARE, STORAGE & MAINTENANCE

• Before cleaning the solar panel or blanket please make sure your solar system is cool.
• Use a damp cloth only to remove dirt and debris from the solar panel.
• Do not use sharp or hard objects for cleaning as these may damage the product. For your panel to work as efficiently as possible you want to prevent scratches on the surface of the solar panel or blanket.
