Instructions / Assembly

3. Align the guy wire attachment plate so that each guy wire is in line with the anchors.
4. With all guy wire attachment plates in position, electrical wire can be run through the tower tubes. Leave sufficient
wire protruding at the top of the tower to connect the wind generator.
• Electrical wire can also be pulled through with a wire snake, after the tower tubes are assembled.
5. Join the tower tubes together using a soft-faced mallet or hammer. Use a piece of wood between the tube and the
mallet to protect the end of the tube.
• The expanded end of the tube prevents the guy wire attachment plate from sliding down the tube, and positions the
guy wire attachment plate at the correct height.
6. Secure the lower tube to the tower base with the M10 bolt and nyloc nut. Tighten the nut until it just contacts the
tower base.
Attaching the Guy Wires
1. Orientate guy wire attachment plates with their corners pointing towards the anchor. If they are not pointing towards
the anchor, adjust them before continuing.
2. Uncoil each guy wire bundle and extend them to their respective anchoring point. The fourth anchor point is directly
under the tower.
3. Begin attaching the guy wires to the earth anchors at the sides of the tower.
• Insert two cable thimbles in each earth anchor eyelet.
• Thread an upper guy wire and lower guy wire around its own cable thimble.
• Loosely attach two cable clamps to each guy wire.
4. Leave about 6” inches (15 cm) of slack in the guy wires, and tighten the cable clamps.
Note: The guy wire to the tower should contact the ‘saddle’ side of the cable clamp. On level ground, there will be
approximately 5 ft (1.5 m) of extra cable.
5. Attach two cable thimbles to the third earth anchor located directly below the tower.
