This will ensure that theturbine operates reliably and safely with good efficiency.Always shut down the turbine before attempting to carry out maintenance.Post-Installation Checks (to be carried out one month after installation): Check that the turbine mount fixings are secure and has not worked loose. Adjust ifrequired. Ensure that the rotor blades rotate freely. Ensure that all electrical connections are sound.Annual Maintenance: Inspect the turbine & support structure. Ensure that the bearings are smooth and free running. Inspect the rotor blades for damage such as dents or chips. The blades will becomeunbalanced if they are damaged. This will cause vibration, noise and poor performance. Ifmany dents have occurred along the edges of the blades, a new set of rotor blades shouldbe fitted (part numbers available in the Spares section). Remove any build-up of dirt and debris from the rotor blades using a mild detergent andwarm water. Check the blade fixings for tightness. Check that all electrical connections are sound and free from corrosion. Generally ensure that the turbine is in good working condition and is safe for continueduse.After five years of normal operation: We recommend that the rotor bearings should be replaced after five years of continuousoperation. This will ensure that the turbine’s performance and safety is not compromised.Other Considerations: The equipment used in the charging system (batteries, charge controller, PV panels,invertors, etc.) should be maintained according to the instructions published by therelevant manufacturer. Where lead-acid batteries are used, it is especially important that they are maintainedcarefully. Failure to do so will result in the batteries being rendered useless within a shortperiod of time. |
