5.
Mechanical inspection.
It will be necessary to remove the Windcharger
from its pole for the following tests.
6.
Check the brushes and slipring for wear or damage.
To inspect the
brushes, remove the 6 screws joining the nacelle halves together and remove
top half of nacelle. Remove the 4 screws connecting the bottom half of
nacelle to the post adaptor and remove bottom half of nacelle. This
now gives access to the 2 sets of brush holders (2 brushes in each). The
brushes and slipring can then be inspected by removing the four self-tapping
screws holding the brush holder assemblies in place. Remove any black
deposits from slipring with fine emery paper. Heavy deposits and reduced
power indicate a possible reverse connection to the battery. Check brushes
for undue wear and replace if necessary.
7.
Check hub for free rotation with generator disconnected from battery.
the hub does not rotate freely, check for a possible short circuit in the wiring.
If no wiring fault is found refer to your dealer or manufacturer.
If the above checks have identified a need for spare parts or failed to identify
the problem you should contact Marlec who can advise you of your nearest
distributor in their world wide network. In the first instance we recommend that
you contact the company from whom the product was originally purchased.
If in doubt, refer to your dealer or manufacturer.
