Saftey first!
Before you start the check up, make sure the blades are stopped and the battery is
not connected to the charge controller.
The following check ups should be carried out at regular 12 months intervals:
11.1 Rotor blades
Check if the blades show damages like broken edges, damaged surface or cracks. If
you notice any damage, the generator must not be used any longer. Check the
screwing one day after mounting and after that every 3 months. Eventually then you
can turn to a longer interval.
11.2 Screws
Check that all accessible screws are correctly fixed. Especially the hexagon screws
from the hub, the central shaft nut and the fixing of the mast must be checked (see
page 17, sketch 4, 5 ,6 ,7 and page 18, sketch 8, 9).
11.3 Bearings and gaskets
The bearing of the generator shaft and the bearing of the yaw shaft are permanently
lubricated. Please check these bearings for free movement, bearing play and
watertightness. Deficient bearings must be replaced.
11.4 Corrosion protection
The complete housing is made of seaworthy aluminum and additionally powder
coated. If the outer layer is damaged, there is a risk of corrosion. Please paint these
spots with suitable varnish (RAL9010)
11.5 Mounting system
Check the mounting system for stability and absence of loose screws (if applicable).
