9) Place the nose cone over the center line of the blades assembly and snap the
nose cone into place. Carefully check it is secure by firmly pulling on and be
sure all three edges are catch. Don't worry if the nose cone missing, it will not
affect the performance of the wind generator.

Before attaching the wiring to the battery, make sure that:

a.All 

wires

 

connect to the control box first, then connect to the battery.

b.The stop switch is in the "Stop"position.

Note: Grounding

For long-term operation and protecting the electronics, properly grounding 
is very important. Grounding procedures must be followed along with any 
local electrical codes. 

The negative wire of your system should be connected to a ground. This is 
usually done by connecting a wire from the negative battery terminal to a 
nearby ground rod. Wires with the same ratings as the positive and 
negative wires must connect all system grounds. 

A ground electrode can be made for systems without an existing system 
ground from an 8 ft. (2.4 m) section of 3/4" (19 mm) galvanized pipe or 
conduit, or an 8 ft. (2.4 m) section of 5/8" (16 mm) iron or steel rod. This 
ground electrode must be buried completely beneath the soil, at no more 
than 45 degrees from vertical, or horizontally at least 2 1/2 ft. (75 cm) 
beneath the surface. It is recommended that the ground electrode be 
installed as close as possible to the batteries for maximum lightning 
protection. The base of the tower is also a good location for an 
appropriate surge arrestor.

Caution: Improper Grounding Will Damage Your Wind Generator 
And Void Your Warranty.
