6. MAINTENANCE
Your wind turbine has been designed to run for long periods without
requiring any maintenance. Performance will be enhanced if you
periodically inspect your system.
Review the following simple maintenance procedures and implement
every six months.
Caution: Do not go near the wind turbine during operation.
Caution: The blades are sharp. Please handle with care.
• Check blades for superficial damage. Replace blades if damaged. It is
important to not use blades that are damaged, as you will lose overall
balance, resulting in a decrease in efficiency. Should you notice
damage to the blades you must replace all 3. The blades are balanced
as sets.
• Check the blade bolts and the hub nut for tightness.
• Check nosecone for cracks and tighten nuts.
• Wipe any excess dirt build-up from the blades.
• Check all electrical connections to make sure they are tight and free
from corrosion.
• Check the voltage of your battery bank with a Multi-meter and clean the
terminals.
• We suggest replacing the blades every five years for optimal
performance.
