3-month maintenance schedule:
1. Check tensions of the guy-wire. Make sure the wires are evenly tightened. The wire
should be neither too tight nor too loose. This check has to be done at the installation time
and again one week later, to correct any stretching or climactic adjustment.
2. Check electrical wires for connectivity and make sure they are not damaged or
corroded.
3. Maintain the batteries as per the battery owner’s manual.
4. If at all possible with proper warning before a big storm, lay down the tower to avoid
unnecessary loss.

Why the system may not have output power after the inverter is connected?
o
Check the diversion load and the charge controller. The charge controller
has voltage and current indicators. So if there is not enough power
generated, the system will not output energy. Also check the battery
voltage, since if the battery voltage is low, it will not output energy either.
But in case the energy is enough and there is still not output, please check
the electrical wire connections between batteries and inverter and make
sure there are no open wire shorts.
•
Why the batteries cannot be charged?
o
Check whether or not the rotor is rotating. The generator has no output at
too high or too low wind speed. If the rotor works normally, disconnect the
generator’s wire from the charge controller and check the generator output
with a multi-meter. If the generator output is normal, please check if the
batteries are ok, otherwise check the generator wiring.

Why the rotor may not rotate at a normal wind speed?
