Details on the installation location and its surrounding
4.
Disconnect the three cores of the wind turbine from the charge controller and measure
the AC voltage between each phase, from phase 1 to 2, from 2 to 3 and from 3 to
phase 1. During constant wind conditions they should be nearly the same.

Which devices are connected to the battery
7.
Are there any solar panels conected to the charge controller and which power (in Wp)
and off-load voltage do these solar panels have.
Checkup and maintenance
You should check up your wind turbine regularly in order to have fun with your turbine for a
longer period.
The first checkup should be made on the first day after installation, then after one week and
then after three months. After that, you can checkup your turbine in longer intervals.
Near coasts, you should do it every 6th month because of the higher salt content in the air,
inside the country you should make a checkup once a year or after heavy storms. The best
time to make a checkup is after winter time.
The following points should be made during checkup:
•
Look for the vibrations atop the tower
•
Check if the tower still is positioned vertically and if all wiring is tight
•
Does the wind turbine turn easily into the wind
•
Are the rotor blades still balanced well?
•
When there is a damage at the blades, the wind turbine has to be stopped immediately.
Take care if there are any small clefts or if anything is breaking off the edge of the
blade.
•
Are all screws still fastened to the generator?
•
Look carefully towards the cables, that there is no chafe mark recognizable.
Maintenance of the wind turbine
At car component shops, there is a subsoil protection wax available which is transparent and
yellow-colored. Take an old cloth and spray the wax onto it, then clean the turbine. The wax
coating protects the wind turbine against weather influences and ultraviolet light. Also clean
the rotor blades and the spinner. The smoother a rotor blade is polished the better the wind
turbine works. During winter time, snow can hardly adherence on the blades.
Warranty
Ruihua guarantees that this device has no material damages within 12 months after purchase,
which could influence the function of the wind turbine. Should there occur any damages
during this period, qou will have to inform Zhejiang Ruihua immediately. Ruihua will then
proof your warranty claim and will repair the device or will send you new spare parts.
