Nature Power 2000W-48V Marine Grade Wind Turbine (70701) - Manual (Page 5)

CAUTION
Do not pull on, excessively bend, or attempt to modify the wires/cables of the wind
generator. Doing so could result in cord damage, electrocution, or fire.
Never attempt to disassemble or modify the wind generator. Doing so could result
in electrocution, fire, or wind generator malfunction.
Due to conditions of use, this system may not continuously supply stable electrical
power. Do not attempt to use the electricity generated by the wind generator to
power medical devices or other equipment related to human life systems support.
Do not attempt to use the electricity generated by the wind generator to power
personal computers not equipped with batteries or other auxiliary power sources.
Observe all safety precautions when working on the wind generator in high
locations. Take care to ensure that hardware and other parts do not fall from the
wind generator. Falling parts can cause injuries or other accidents.
Before assembling the wind generator, secure adequate space to ensure that
work can be completed safely. Inadequate space can result in injuries or other
accidents.
3.Installation siting
Small changes in wind speed can have a dramatic effect on power
production. The location of your wind turbine should be carefully
considered.
In general the higher the tower the greater the wind speed and ultimately
the power production. However, towers are expensive and can easily
exceed the cost of the turbine.
The minimum recommended tower height is 25 ft (7.6 m) on open ground
or 20 ft (6m) above nearby obstructions. Try to locate the wind turbine in
the “cleanest” turbulent free air as possible. Turbulence will reduce the
efficiency of the wind turbine and may accelerate wear on rotating
components.
Safety must be the primary concerned when selecting the mounting
location. Install wind turbine so there is no possibility of accidental contact
with rotating blades even if it requires installing the wind turbine in a less
than ideal location. Safety has precedence over efficiency.

Each installation is different and is often a compromise between tower
height, distance from the battery bank, local zoning requirements and
obstacles such as buildings and trees.
