1.  Introduction 

Overview  of  the  my!Wind  10  kW  turbine  installation  with  a  10  m  self-standing  mast  on  a  foundation 

block is given in this document. The manual is solely intended to be used for a tower corresponding 

with  appendix  01  and  for  a  foundation  corresponding  with  appendix  02.  Please  DO  NOT  attempt  to 

use the manual for any other configuration of my!Wind products or for any products provided by other 

suppliers. This can result in serious harm or loss of life. 

Carefully  read  and  understand  the  disclaimer  at  the  beginning.  While  simple  in  concept,  the 

installation  requires  basic  mechanical  knowledge  and  attention  to  detail.  Tools  listed  to  erect  the 

turbine  are  readily  available  in  most  parts  of  the  world  or  can  be  obtained  from  a  distributor.  When 

even remotely possible use a my!Wind distributor who has received a corresponding training to carry 

out the installation for you.  

2.  Prior to installation 

2.1  Important safety instructions 

1) 

Read, understand and follow all warnings. 

2) 

Install foundation and tower in accordance with the electric code used in  your country or region 

and all local building and zoning codes and requirements. 

3) 

Obtain building and construction permits prior to starting the installation. 

4) 

Make sure that you have enough space for the erection before installing the foundation. 

5) 

Foundation  concrete  must  be  completely  cured  prior  to  installing  tower  (Minimum  20  MPa,  28 

day strength). 

6) 

my!Wind  uses  high  voltage  and  is  potentially  dangerous.  Follow  all  safety  precautions  at  all 

times. 

7) 

Remain  at  a  safe  distance  when  rising  and  lowering  tower.  NEVER  stand  or  walk  under  tower 

while it is being raised or lowered. 

8) 

Be aware of overhead power lines. 

9) 

Do not attempt to raise tower on a windy day (maximum wind speed 5 m/s). 

10)  Always wear personal protection equipment 

– closed toe shoes, work gloves, safety glasses and 

hardhat.
