leave the blade ‘disc’ assembled and store it as a disc after assembling it for the first time.
Fitting the wind turbine:
Remove the plastic bungs from the hub plate to gain access to the hub-
centre to shaft fixing holes. Carefully align the wind turbine hub and gently slide on to the shaft. Using
the M6x30mm cap screws shake-proof washers and hexagon wrench provided, fit the turbine to the
shaft. Tighten fully.
CAUTION:
Leave a loop where the cable passes the swivel. This will allow the unit to rotate in the wind.
Do not make the loop so big as to risk fouling the blades.
DANGER: The wind turbine blades are easily capable of causing grave personal injury, even in
light wind, and should be treated with the same respect as an aircraft propeller.
•
It is essential that the wind turbine be hoisted well above head height.
•
Do not let go of the blades until all personnel are clear. Rotate the Aquair to face the wind
and step back before letting go.
