ADVICE : In light wind, several tries
might be needed. Adjust your
strength : the weaker the wind, the
slowest the blades should rotate.
Manually starting the rotation of
the blades
•
Check that the locking tab is on the
Production position and that the
reel is rotating freely.
•
Grab the rope belt upper strand
near to the generator.
•
Pull in the direction of the wind
turbine. If the wind is strong enough,
the rotation of the blades will be
maintained.
IMPORTANT : Pay attention to your
safety line : if it does not have
enough length, lock back the
locking tab, let go some length on
the safety line and then restart
unreeling the rope belt.
Manually unreeling the rope belt
•
Install the crank, handle downward,
on the toothed flange side.
•
Block the crank with your forearm,
then
unlock
the
locking
tab
(Production position) as shown on
figure 2.
•
Unreel by turning the crank
clockwise
•
Once the rope belt is fully reeled out,
put the crank back on the smooth
flange side (allows the generator to
be balanced during production mode).
WARNING: Once the locking tab is
on the Production position, the
traction force from the kite will
make the reel and the crank rotate
quickly. Be careful to always
control the rotation of the crank, to
prevent injuries.
