SAFETY
Your 600 Watt Wind Turbine is designed with your personal safety as the first priority. However,
there are still some inherent dangers involved with any electrical and/or mechanical equipment.
Safety must be the primary concern as you plan the location, installation and operation of the
turbine. Please read the following:
Important Safety Instructions
Please take the time to read through this manual prior to assembly.
1) Place this instruction manual in a safe place for reference.
2) Wait until a calm day to install or perform maintenance on your Turbine.
3) Listen to your Turbine. Should you hear any mechanical noise, maintenance
may be required. Please contact Sunforce Products Customer Service.
4) After installation re-adjust and tighten the screws and bolts.
5) Adhere to proper grounding techniques as established by the NEC.
6) Your Wind Turbine must be installed in accordance with this manual and local and
national building code. Incorrect installation may void your warranty.
7) Wind turbine blades spin at a potentially dangerous speed.
Never approach a turbine in motion.
8) Note wire size (gauge chart included) prior to wiring. Any under sizing of wire can be
potentially dangerous.
1.1 Mechanical Hazard
Rotating blades present the most serious mechanical hazard. The rotor blades are made of very
strong thermoplastic. At the tip, the blades may be moving at velocities over 15m/s. At this speed,
the tip of a blade is nearly invisible and can cause serious injury. Under no circumstances should
you install the turbine where a person could come in contact with moving rotor blades.
1.2 Electrical Hazard
The 600W Turbine is equipped with sophisticated electronics designed to provide protection from
electrical dangers. Please note that the inherent personal dangers from electrical current still
exist, therefore caution should always be used when connecting this and other electrical devices.
