Nature Power 2000W-48V Marine Grade Wind Turbine (70701) - Manual (Page 9)

WARNING
Failure to observe these safety instructions may result in a severe accident
or damage to the wind generator or other parts of the system.
Do not place the wind generator body upside down or inclined during installation or
maintenance. Water (rain, snow) can leak inside the body joint gap and cause damage to the
turbine. During installation when the body is upside down or inclined and has the possibility of
getting wet, put a cover over the body.
On the tower top use a mast with an outer diameter of 1.91 inch(48.6mm), 3/16 inch
(5mm) of thickness and at least 3 ft (1m) in length. A 1-1/2 inches schedule 80 steel
pipe meets this requirement. Do not use plastic pipes.
Do not install the wind generator if the pole is not standing straight.
If the wind generator is not mounted in an upright position, it could topple or fall, causing
injury or damage to the system.
Moving rotor blades are as dangerous as a sharp object. During installation and
maintenance, attaching the rotor to the tower body is extremely dangerous because of
the of the potential wind that can rotate the rotor and causing a serious accident such
as death or injury. After attaching the rotor to the body, fix the rotor in place to prevent it
from rotating until the wind turbine has been completely installed.
If the wind turbine has not been completely assembled, a strong gust of wind or similar
phenomenon may cause it to fall, causing an injury or other mishaps.
silicone sealant
When wind turbine has been completely assembled, in order to prevent corrosion, apply
silicone sealant to the screw hole till the screw hole is completely covered.
*Be careful not to apply the silicone sealant to other parts of the body.
Cover the screw hole
by applying a silicone
sealant.

6-3 Attaching to pole
While attaching the wind turbine to the tower, be careful not to pinch the
AWG#10 (5.5mm²) yaw wires. Slide the yaw all the way down over the
end of pole. After the yaw is seated on the pole, move it back up a 1/8th
inch (2mm) to prevent the bottom of the yaw from contacting the top of
the pole. This way the only contract between the tower and yaw is
through the rubber pad, which will reduce noise transmission. Using a
torque wrench, tight all mounting fasteners to 16±0.74ft.lb (22 ±1N.m).
Make sure that your tower allows for proper clearance of the blades. A
minimum of 2inches (50mm) clearance must be given between the blades
tips and any obstructions.
