11. Checks
Your SHARK S601 is designed to last for years without any maintenance.
However, simple and regular checks are always part of it to ensure the necessary
operational safety.
Your safety is very important to us!
Before you start the check, make sure that during all work on the system, the rotor
is brought to a standstill and the battery is disconnected from the system.
The following checks should be carried out every 12 months:
11.1 Rotor blades
Check the rotor blades for possible damage, such as broken edges, surface
damage, cracks. If you find any damage, the generator must not be operated.
Check the screw connection after one day of operation and then after one month.
You can then switch to longer intervals.
11.2 Screw connections
Check all screw connections that are accessible from the outside for tightness or
correct tightening torque. Check the rotor blade bolts, the central hub nut and the
mast attachment in particular.
11.3 Bearings, seals
The bearings of the generator shaft and the bearing for the Yaw shaft are designed
as permanently lubricated ball bearings. Please check these bearings for ease of
movement, bearing play and tightness. Please replace defective bearings or have
them replaced by a service center. The Shark rotor is supported on both sides and
therefore has a longer service life and is quieter.
