3. WIRING AND INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

Your Wind Turbine is shipped partially assembled. Please completely read
all procedures before beginning installation.   NOTE: Do not install the blade/hub
until the turbine is mounted on the tower

SHOOTPOWER

4mm hex key wrench (included)
5mm hex key wrench (included)
8mm hex key wrench (included)

Power cables (not included):
#12 AWG (American Wire Gage) stranded.
Batteries (not included)
Steel Pipe: 1 1/2", Schedule 40 steel pipe (Actual OD 1.875 inches, 48mm) (not
included)
Torque wrench with 4mm, 5mm, and 8mm hex drives (not included)
Soldering iron or propane torch (not included)
Rosin core solder (not included)
Electrical tape or 1/4” (6-7mm) heat shrink (not included)
Wire strippers (not included)
Wire crimpers (not included)

NOTE: Do not connect to the battery.

Precheck

Spin rotor shaft slowly with your fingers
while at the same time connecting and 
disconnecting the DC OUTPUT's positive
and negative wires. With the wires
connected, the rotor shaft should become
more difficult to rotate. With the wires
disconnected, it should spin freely.

Every time connect the DC 
OUTPUT's wires (RED= Positive, 
BLACK = Negative)
directly to the set of posts of the 
battery, the controller LED  will 
lighten to indicate that the 
controller is running properly.

CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT WIND 
GENERATOR POSITIVE TO BATTERY
NEGATIVE AND CHARGE CONTROLLER 
NEGATIVE TO BATTERY POSITIVE FOR
EVEN A SECOND, OR ELSE WILL DAMAGE THE WIND GENERATOR'S
CONTROLLER AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
