INTRODUCTION
This manual contains important information concerning your turbine tower and its
installation. It is strongly recommended that you read this manual and familiarise
yourself with its contents before installing and operating the Windcharger system.
The complete kit is a base pivoted 6.5m high twin guyed tower, for easy installation &
erection by 2 people. The design complies with IEC1400-2.
The tower and rigging kits are available separately to allow the use of a single length of
tube (supplied by the user) with the rigging kit. The customers own tower should be
40mm nominal medium (3.2mm wall) galvanised tube. Inside diameter 41.7mm,
outside diameter 48.1mm. Single length 6.5m.
WARNING!
•
It is recommended that erection of the tower is only attempted in light winds.
•
Standard Health and Safety working practices and appropriate personal protective
equipment should be adopted during the following procedures.
•
When using the Rutland 914i or Rutland 1200 Windchargers, mounting pole outside
diameter MUST NOT exceed 48.5mm. Larger section poles must not be used as this
will reduce the tower to blade clearance. In high wind conditions this could cause
damage to the Windcharger by allowing the blade to come into contact with the
mounting pole.
