Instructions / Assembly

• Make sure there is sufficient room to tilt the tower into position and install the wind generator.
4. Drive the four tower base earth spikes into the ground toward the center of the base, as illustrated below.
Arrowhead earth anchors
1. Position the first earth anchor on the ground along the tower tilt axis, 15 ft (4.6 m) from the tower base.
2. Place the second earth anchor along the tower tilt axis, 15’ ft (4.6m) from the tower base in the opposite direction.
• With the tower base in the center, (4 places) 21.2 ft (6.6 m) the first and second earth anchors should form a straight
line 30 ft (9.2 m) along the tower tilt axis.
3. Place the third earth anchor 15 ft (4.6) from the tower base.
4. Place the fourth earth anchor 15 ft (4.6 m) from the tower base.
• With the tower base in the center, the third and fourth earth anchors should form a line perpendicular to the line
formed by the first two earth anchors
5. Check the position of the earth anchors to ensure that they are within approximately 6 in (15 cm) of their ideal
position.
• Each earth anchor should be 15 ft (4.6 m) from the tower base.
6. Insert the beveled end of the earth anchor driving rod into the arrowhead earth anchor, as illustrated below.
7. Drive the earth anchor up with force. You will notice the earth anchor pulling out of the ground into the ground using
the slightly. This will lock the earth anchor in the ground. earth anchor driving rod and a 10 kg hammer.
Note: No more than 12” inches (30 cm) of earth anchor cable should be out of the ground once it has been locked
into place.
• Notice the angle at which the earth anchor is being driven. This angle is important for maximum pull strength. The
angle should be in line with the angle of the guy wire (i.e. the angle should be pointing towards the tower base).
Important:
Earth anchors must be installed in soil that has been undisturbed.
8. Drive the earth anchor into the ground until 6” inches (15 cm) of cable remains above ground.
