Instructions / Assembly

6. Measure the length of the upper and lower guy wires on the side earth anchors. Use the same length for the guy
wires on the third earth anchor.
7. Secure the cable clamps to the third guy wire.
8. Place two cable thimbles on the fourth earth anchor. DO NOT connect the guy wires at this time.
9. The fourth set of guy wires are used to help tilt the tower into position. Secure these guy wires only after the tower
is upright.
It is important to remember during installation that guy wires must not become twisted, please take time to
ensure all wires are as straight as possible.
Raising the Tower
Sunforce Products Inc. highly recommends first tilting the tower into position without the wind generator attached, to
verify proper installation and operation of the tower.
1. Before raising the tower, have another person ready to assist with installation.
2. One person should push the tower up into position. The other person should pull by the unattached upper guy wire.
With the tower off the ground a few feet, make sure that all the wires are coming up cleanly.
Adjusting the Guy Wires
If the guy wires are too tight they may cause the tower to bow as it is raised. If this happens, lower the tower to the
ground and reduce the tension on the guy wires.
• Check to see which wire(s) are too tight (the wires act in pairs).
• Release the tension on one of the wires by loosening the 2 cable clamps until the cable can be slid through them
• Let out some cable until there is no tension in the wire.
3. Retighten the cable clamps before raising the tower.
4. Once the tower is raised to vertical, attach the last guy wires to their anchor.
5. Walk a short distance from the tower and look to see that it is straight. A visual check is vital throughout the
installation process and can often speed up the process, by adjusting as you go.
6. Focus on the angle of the tower. Adjust the cables until the tower is straight up and down. Use a carpenter’s level
held against the tower for this check.
7. To adjust the angle of the tower, relax one guy wire and tighten the guy wire opposite to it. Repeat this process until
the tower is straight.
8. When the tower is straight, make sure that all cable clamps are tight.
9. After all the adjustments have been made, lower the tower.
Important: When the tower is lowered to install the wind generator, undo only the pull-side cables. When adjusting
the cables, NEVER loosen both sets of guy wires at the same time. When the tower is re-erected, only those pullside
cables will need to be readjusted.
Installing your Sunforce Products Wind Turbine
Please refer to your Sunforce Products Wind Turbine manual for assembly instructions.
Maintenance
There are no moving parts in the tower, so maintenance is minimal. However, as part of your annual maintenance,
Sunforce Products, Inc. recommends that several areas are inspected to ensure long term integrity of your Wind
Turbine Tower Kit.
• Check guy wire condition. Inspect for wear and fraying at the guy wire to earth anchor connection points.
• Check guy wire tension. Guy wires should have uniform tension. Wires should be free of slack, but not overly taut.
• Check all bolts for tightness.
• Check cable clamps and pivot bolt.
• Check any unusual noises or vibrations. Investigate and correct as necessary.
