Risk of injury when carrying out maintenance work!

Shut down the wind turbine system prior to all maintenance work.

Take steps to prevent the wind turbine system from being switched on again 

by unauthorised persons.

Shut down the wind turbine system (

section 8.2).

Carefully tilt the tower.

WARNING!

Danger due to damaged parts!

Shut down the wind turbine system immediately if the rotor blades or the 

electrical wiring are damaged. 

Refer to the supplementary documents for information on maintaining supplier 

components.

Coat the wind turbine and the rotor blades regularly with commercially 

available underbody protection wax using a soft cloth.

A wax film protects the surfaces of the wind turbine and the rotor blades 

from the weather and increases the efficiency of the blades.
