Section
2.0:
Mount
MG
Rover
Wind
Turbine
to
Tower
I n
general,
it
is
easier
to
mount
the
MG
Rover
Wind
Turbine
Frame
to
the
tower
without
the
blades
attached.
The
blades
can
be
attached
to
the
generator
shaft
after
the
wind
turbine
frame
is
mounted
to
the
tower.
If
you
choose
to
mount
the
blade/hub
assembly
before
placing
the
MG
Rover
Wind
Turbine
on
a
tower,
then
follow
the
blade
mounting
instructions
in
Section
3.0
before
proceeding
with
Section
2.0.

Step
1:
Run
three
wires
through
the
1.5
inch
schedule
40
tower
pipe
so
that
the
wires
come
out
the
top
of
the
tower.
See
Figure
2
above.
Three
conductor
extension
cord
or
welding
cables
can
be
used
as
a
tower
pipe.
It
is
recommended
that
10
AWG
or
thicker
wire
is
used
for
wire
runs
of
50
feet
or
less
and
8
AWG
or
thicker
wire
is
recommended
for
wire
runs
of
50-­‐100
feet.
Before
continuing
to
Step
2,
make
sure
that
the
top
of
the
1.5
inch
Schedule
40
tower
pipe
is
filed
smooth.
The
yaw
bushing
sits
on
top
of
the
tower
pipe
and
failure
to
file
smooth
the
top
of
the
tower
pipe
where
the
bushing
sits,
could
result
in
premature
wearing
of
the
bushing.
See
Figure
2
above.
