Manual

MAINTENANCE:
Your Sunforce Products Wind Turbine has been designed to run for long periods without
requiring any maintenance. Performance will be enhanced if you periodically inspect your
system. Review the following simple maintenance procedures and implement every six
months.
Caution: Do not go near the wind turbine during operation.
• Check blades for superficial damage. Replace blades if damaged. It is important to not use
blades that are damaged, as you will lose overall balance, resulting in a decrease in efficiency.
Should you notice damage to the blades you must replace all 3. The blades are balanced as
sets.
• Check the blade bolts and the hub nut for tightness.
• Check nosecone for cracks and tighten nuts.
• Wipe any excess dirt build-up from the blades.
• Check all electrical connections to make sure they are tight and free from corrosion.
• Check the voltage of your battery bank with a Multi-meter and clean the terminals.
• Sunforce Products suggests replacing the blades every five years for optimal performance.
Trouble shooting
Caution: You may require an extra person to assist with these tests.
1) Remove the blade/hub from the turbine. Replace the rotor hub nut on the rotor shaft.
2) Quickly spin the rotor shaft manually with your fingers while connecting and disconnecting
the red and black wires (turbine must not be connected to batteries).
3) With the red and black wires connected to each other, the shaft should be more difficult to
turn. When the wires are disconnected it should spin freely.
Should this not be true please contact supplier or Sunforce Products.
4) With your Sunforce Wind Turbine connected to your battery bank, use an electric hand drill
to spin the rotor shaft.
5) Below 500 RPM, the rotor should spin freely without friction.
6) At 500 RPM and above, the Wind Turbine should be charging the battery. You should feel
resistance on the rotor shaft if the shaft is not rotating; contact your turbine dealer or Sunforce
Products. Be aware your battery banks needs to be under fully charged as the Turbine needs
to read a charge.
