If problems occur after installation of your new Hyland 920 wind turbine, most can be solved using 
the following trouble shooting guide.

Trouble Shooting

Hyland 920 Blades are not Spinning

Possible Source 

of the Error

Test

Solution

Not enough wind

Test wind speed

Wait for higher wind speeds.
NOTE: The Hyland 920 should begin 
operation at wind speeds greater than 3 
m/s.
NOTE: the Hyland 920 has an output shaft 
seal that will free up after some operation. 
It may take slightly higher wind speeds to 
start the turbine when new.

Turbine is switched 

off at the controller

Check BRAKE/RUN and 
SHORT/RUN switches on the 
controller

Switch both switches to RUN

Damaged blades

Check blades for visual damage

If blades are damaged, 
contact sales@valen.com.au

Stiff generator 
bearing

•  Switch BRAKE/RUN and 

SHORT/RUN switches on 
the controller to the BRAKE 
and SHORT positions 
respectively.

•  Try to rotate turbine shaft

If shaft is stiff, 
contact sales@valen.com.au

Stiff yaw bearing

•  Switch BRAKE/RUN and 

SHORT/RUN switches on 
the controller to the BRAKE 
and SHORT positions 
respectively.

•  Try to rotate turbine around 

the yaw axis

If turbine does not rotate, 
contact sales@valen.com.au

Fault in electrical 
circuit

•  Switch BRAKE/RUN and 

SHORT/RUN switches on 
the controller to the BRAKE 
and SHORT positions 
respectively.

•  Contact qualified electrician 

to check electrical circuit

Repair by authorised personnel.
