CAUTION:

If you are uncertain of the polarity of the wires, simply spin the

rotor shaft clockwise and measure the voltage direction with a volt meter.

2. Connect the Red(+) and Blue(-) wires from the wind turbine to the

wires from the battery location. Insulate the connections using
either heat shrink tubing or a quality electrical tape or wire nuts.

3. Once the wires are attached to the turbine, gently pull the wires

down through the tower sliding the yaw shaft into the steel pipe.
Slide the yaw shaft down inside the end of the pole carefully, so as
not to pinch the wires. Leave enough slack in the wires so that, if
necessary, the turbine can be removed from the pole. Strain
relieve the wires so the weight of the long wires isn’t pulling on the
red and blue turbine wires.

4. Once the yaw shaft is mounted in the pole,

a. First, firmly tighten the two 10mm screws with a wrench.
b. Then, firmly tighten the two 10mm nuts.

CAUTION:

Make sure that your turbine is securely attached to the pole.

Remember that this attachment will have to hold in high winds.

F.2.2 Fix the blades, the Hub
and the tail

1. Hold the shaft with a screw driver, turn the Hub counter-clockwise

to remove the Hub from the shaft if necessary.

2. Attach the blades to the Hub. Securely tighten all the screws and

nuts. (Figure 6.1)

CAUTION:

Make sure the front face of the blade is toward the wind.
