3. Put the M16 nut onto the middle of the Hub, then put the Hub on
the top of the rotor shaft. Hold on the rotor shaft with a screw driver
and turn the Hub clockwise to tighten it onto the shaft. (Figure 6.1)
4. Insert the cotter pin into the small hole on the top of the shaft.
(Figure 6.2)
5. Assemble the nose cone to the head of the shaft by snapping into
place.
6. Attach the tail vane to the tail bracket, securely tighten the screws
and nuts.
F.2.3 Connect the wires
1. Run the wires from the wind turbine to the battery. Attach wires to
the battery.
Wind turbine Red = Battery Positive (+);
Wind turbine Blue = Battery Negative (-)
CAUTION: If the battery is not connected properly, it may damage the
wind turbine.
2. Now you have completed the installation process.
F.3 Operation
Check support structures, blades, and electrical systems.
1. Do not let the rotor blades come in contact with a solid object.
Use common sense about safety when locating the turbine.
2. Before you inspect the wind turbine or approach the path of the
blades, disconnect the power leads from the battery. The turbine
should slow down or stop spinning. Be very careful when working
near a spinning turbine. Wait till the turbine stops spinning then tie
one of the blades to the mounting pole using a rope or bungee.
3. Note: The bearings in the turbines may require about 100 hours of
operation in normal wind before they are running at peak
efficiency. It is called ‘break-in period’.
4. When expecting high winds such as from a Hurricane, it’s best to
remove the hub/blade assembly before the storm and then
re-install after the storm passes. Removal is simple and involves
only one cotter pin and one nut.
