When an adequate installation location was found, you will have to choose an adequate tower.
Because the tower has to be quite high, it would make sense to plan the height of the tower in
a way that you can reach it easily in order to proof the security. If the tower is completed in a
thin way, it has to be braced repeatedly according to the height of the tower. Please notice that
we cannot give you more details regarding the tower because there are uncountable
possibilities to install a tower correctly. The tower has to be set up in a way that the wind
turbine is able to strain the tower with 3250 N at the top of it. It also has to be grounded
according to the valid rules of technology. Grounding should be made with an earth electrode
or an earth system, on boats grounding should be made with the tower of a sailboat or with the
motor of a motor boat. Please pay attention to the valid rules and manuals of the
manufacturers.
When the tower is ready for mounting the wind turbine and when the boreholes were made
sideways, then you can start to mount the wind turbine. Every wind turbine has got a set of
rotor blades. This set of three blades is coordinated. A set of blades may only be replaced with
three others, otherwise the generator can be out-of-balance. Please mount the rotor blades in a
wind-free location, the rotundity of the blade has to point to the generator and the even side
has to be in the front- you can easily recognize the sides of the blades when you look at the
peak of the rotor blade. Now take a rotor blade, the counterplate and one of the M8 screws
and fasten them loosely. Please notice that the brass injection nut has to be directed to the
generator. Now fasten the second screw, after that please mount the second and third rotor
blade in the same way. Just fasten only one screw loosely per rotor blade.
Now the rotor has to get balanced. It can only start up at 0,8 m/sec when the rotor is balanced,
furthermore unnecessary vibrations can be avoided. Please bring the rotor in the Y-position,
one rotor blade directed to the left up, one to the right up and one directed to the bottom. Now
unhand the rotor blade and keep in mind if the rotor started to turn left or right. Then please
turn the rotor 120° and watch to which direction it turns. On the basis of direction of rotation
you can now know which blade ist he heaviest. Hold the round generator`s cabinet and correct
the lacking balance with a small beat at the blades’ angle. Please then check whether the rotor
is balanced, no matter in which position you turn, the rotor may not turn in any direction after
