1. Introduction
Overview of the my!Wind 10 kW turbine installation with a 10 m self-standing mast on a foundation
block is given in this document. The manual is solely intended to be used for a tower corresponding
with appendix 01 and for a foundation corresponding with appendix 02. Please DO NOT attempt to
use the manual for any other configuration of my!Wind products or for any products provided by other
suppliers. This can result in serious harm or loss of life.
Carefully read and understand the disclaimer at the beginning. While simple in concept, the
installation requires basic mechanical knowledge and attention to detail. Tools listed to erect the
turbine are readily available in most parts of the world or can be obtained from a distributor. When
even remotely possible use a my!Wind distributor who has received a corresponding training to carry
out the installation for you.
