The basic method you will be using to raise the tower will involve assembling the tower on the

ground then raising the tower. Assembly of the tower begins as follows:

1) The electrical wires for the turbine should be straightened and cut a couple of feet longer

than the tower height.

2) Trim and strip the ends of the turbine wires so that the wires are staggered about 2 inches

(red wire 12 inches, black wire 10 inches, green wire 8 inches).

3) Connect the electrical wires to the turbine wires using copper split bolts or by soldering

the connections. Wrap each connection with a generous amount of electrical tape.

4) Extend the wires straight from the turbine and tape them together every 3 feet. They will

be much easier to push through the pipe as a group than one at a time.

5) If pipe insulation is to be used on the wires, a short piece (6 inches) should be taped

securely onto the wires every 3 feet or so. This will keep the wires from contacting the

pipe and will minimize the turbine noise that is transmitted to the tower.

6) Slip the guy wire hanger (coupler) onto the lower tower pipe near its top (guy wires

toward the bottom).

7) Push the wires down through the lower pipe section. If it is too difficult to push the wires,

then slide a guy wire up through the pipe and tape the wires to it. Pull the wires through

the pipe using the guy wire.

8) Mount the turbine to the turbine mounting stub section as described in the turbine owner’s

manual.

9) Position the turbine mounting stub and lower tower sections together and slide the guy

wire hanger / coupler over the joint. Tighten the two bolts to 18-20 ft.*lb. of torque.
