EZ TOWER

MAINTENANCE

There are no moving parts in the tower, so maintenance is minimal.

However, as part of your annual maintenance, Primus Wind Power,

Inc. recommends that several areas are inspected to ensure long

term integrity of your EZ Tower™.

• Check guy wire condition. Inspect for wear and fraying at the guy

wire to earth anchor connection points.
• Check guy wire tension. Guy wires should have uniform tension.

Wires should be free of slack, but not overly taut.
•  Check all bolts for tightness.
•  Check cable clamps and pivot bolt.
•  Check any unusual noises or vibrations. Investigate and correct

as necessary.
