To ensure the safe and secure mounting of the solar panel using the Denver SVB-661 Vertical Bracket, please follow these steps:

1. Before mounting the solar panel, make sure that all bolts and fasteners are properly fastened. Loose bolts can cause the solar panel to drop, creating a dangerous situation. Use a torque wrench or socket spanner to tighten the bolts.

2. The recommended torque values for the bolts are as follows:
   - M8 bolts: 11±1 N*m
   - M10 bolts: 20±1 N*m
   - M12 bolts: 35±1 N*m

3. After tightening the bolts, they will lock into place. If you want to ensure that you can unlock the screws later, apply some water wax or a lubricant like machine oil on the surface before fastening.

4. It is recommended to have a minimum of 2 persons for lifting and mounting the solar panels to ensure safety.

5. To withstand stormy weather, make sure the bracket is fixed to the balcony both at the top and bottom. This will provide stability and prevent the panel from moving. If your balcony doesn't have rails, find another way to fix the bottom of the panel securely.

6. Included in the package are 2 stainless steel ties that must be used to secure the bottom of the panel. Refer to the manual for example positions for attaching the steel ties.
