Mounting Instructions
Check fit of insert by fitting it inside the tower.
A maximum of 1.5 mm (1/16 in) play is al-
lowed. You must be able to pull pipe or tube
tight against insert with mounting bolts.
Install insert on yaw shaft with slot facing
down. Slot used for tower wire support. Use
medium-strength thread locking compound on
all fasteners. M6 X 10 Allen head set-screws
must engage both holes in yaw shaft
Use plastic wire nuts or split bolts to make
electrical connections. Any wind generator
wire can go to any tower wire. Wrap split bolts
thoroughly with electrical tape to prevent
shorts to tower. Support wires to avoid weight
on slip ring wires.
Slide generator without propeller into tower
and install mounting hardware as shown.
