6).Place one of the blades on the hub socket and insert one of the M6-15
 socket head cap screws. Place a plastic disk on the end of the screw, then
place self-locking nut (M6) and tighten it with the 5mm hex key to 8-10 
foot lbs. (10.5-13.5 N.m). Repeat this procedure on all three blades.

7). Remove the M16 nut from the rotor shaft. Slide the blades assembly onto 
the rotor shaft and place the nut on the shaft. DO NOT press the rotor shaft 
into the body.

Caution: over-torque will damage the 
blades and wind generator.

8).Insert the 8mm hex key into the rotor shaft and thread the nut on by spinning 
the blades assembly. Holding the blades assembly and tightening the M16 
nut lightly with the 8mm hex key. Finally, spin the blades slowly to be sure they 
turn freely.
