Skystream Owner’s Manual 

3-CMLT-1054 Rev O  XCO 1191 

Pg. 26 

In the event you must gain access to Skystream, use the opportunity to perform the following 
inspections: 

•  Remove yaw shield and verify yaw bearing snap ring is properly seated. Wipe any grease that may 

have seeped from yaw bearing. A small amount of lubricant is normal 

– consult technical support if 

there is large amount of leakage. 

•  Check that the hatch cover bolts are tight. Bolts should be tightened 60 in lb (7 N

·

m). 

•  Check the tightness of the (8) yaw bolts with a torque wrench. All yaw bolts should be torqued to 

60 lb-ft (80 N

·

m). 

•  Reinstall the yaw shield and secure the fasteners. 

•  Check tightness of blade bolts with torque wrench. All blade bolts should be torqued to 50 lb-ft 

(68 N

·

m). 

•  Clean the rotor blades with a mild soap and water. Remove as much of the dead bug matter as 

possible from the blades. 

•  Look for any problems with the blades such as cracks or damage to the edges of the rotor blade. 

•  Inspect the face, nacelle, and the rest of the Skystream, and note any potential damage or problem. 

Service 

The internal components of Skystream should only be serviced by qualified technicians specifically 
trained to perform the service. Under no circumstances should untrained technicians attempt to perform 
service or repairs unless under the direct guidance of a trained technician.  

Service operations that were performed during the installation of Skystream, for example bolting on the 
blades or bolting Skystream to the tower may be performed as necessary by the user / operator. 

Emergency Shutdown 

If Skystream’s internal microprocessor determines a serious internal fault has occurred, it will execute 
an Emergency Stop 

– an E-Stop. An E-Stop will only take place if the fault is severe and requires 

servicing Skystream’s internal components. Refer to the Key Operating Characteristics section of this 
manual for a complete description of the Sky

stream’s various “shut down” modes including Emergency 

Stops. 

Resetting an Emergency Stop requires special equipment and can only be accomplished by a trained 
technician. If you suspect your Skystream has executed an Emergency Stop, contact Skystream 
Technical Support at [email protected] 

 

Warning: 

There is risk of electric shock from both AC and DC voltages within Skystream.  

DO NOT attempt to remove the hatch cover to access the internal components.  

AC power should always be disconnected, the turbine restrained from yawing, and 
blades secured from rotating prior to servicing or serious or fatal injury may occur.
