Mechanical Assembly Procedure   

 

1) 

Unpacking - 

Inspect the contents of the box and ensure that all items are present and free from 

damage. If any of the components are missing or damaged, please contact your dealer immedi-
ately.   

2) 

Check  Magnet  Rotor  &  Continuity  - 

Ensure that the magnet rotor is free turning and does not 

scrape or rub on the coil disc as it rotates. You may feel a slight resistance from the bearings at this 
stage. The bearing units used in the magnet rotor assembly are factory lubricated and sealed for 
life. It will take approximately 100 hours of normal operation for the bear

ing seals to ‘Break-in’ and 

the lubrication to be distributed correctly around the bearing raceways and ball cages. During this 
period you may notice a reduced performance caused by the additional friction of the bearing seals. 
In  operating  temperatures  of 

–10  degrees  Centigrade  or  lower,  this  ‘Break-in’  period  will  be 

extended by a further 50 hours of normal operation. Connect a digital multi-meter to the positive 
(red) and negative (black) output leads extending from the yaw pivot. With the multi-meter set to 
detect DC Volts, a voltage should be displayed when the magnet rotor is spun. This voltage will 
vary with the speed of rotation. If the magnet rotor rubs, or no voltage is detected when turning the 
magnet rotor, please contact your dealer immediately.
