Grounding Every wind turbine and turbine tower need to be grounded at the tower base. Grounding the tower at its base may help prevent shocks to persons touching the tower due to lightning or electrical faults. Please take the time to review the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local building and zoning regulations for complete requirements. Your Nature’s Wind Turbine has a grounding cable included for this purpose.
Using Your Nature’s Wind Turbine How to choose the location The wind speed has dramatic effects on your Nature’s Wind Turbine. The location shall be carefully considered to achieve the optimal performance of your Nature’s Wind Turbine, prior to the mounting of your Nature’s Wind Turbine. Each installation is unique and often a compromise among surrounding environment, distance between your Nature’s Wind Turbine and your Nature’s Generator, zoning requirements, budget and etc.
How to choose the tower Your Nature’s Generator is designed to mount on nominal 1.5 inch schedule 40 steel tubing or piping. The outside diameter of the tubing or piping shall be around 1.875 inch to 1.900 inch. The steel tubing or piping should be available through your local hardware store. Under no circumstances should plastic pipe be used to construct a tower. Towers must be capable of withstanding 160 pounds of load in the horizontal direction at the wind turbine.
Step 3: The rubber gasket that is stored inside of the yaw and the included rubber pad help to prevent the the yaw from contacting the pipe directly. The rubber gasket and rubber pad will assist in reducing the transmission of noise and vibration down the pipe. Slide the yaw shaft all the way down over the top of the pipe and be careful not to pinch the cable. There may be some slight variances of the thickness or size of the pipe from different makers or models.
Step 5: Place one of the blades on one of the hub socket. Place a lock washer and then a flat washer on the blot and then insert the bolt through the blade ad the socket. Place a nut on the other side of socket and tighten the bolt with the 5mm hex key. Repeat this process on all five blades. Make sure the lock washer and flat washer are placed in the right order. The blades will become loose if it is not installed properly.
Step 7: Insert the 8mm hex key into the rotor shaft. Hold the blade assembly and tighten the M16 nut by turning the 8mm hex key counter clockwise. If needed, please use the extender (not included) to extend 8mm hex key to tighten the lock nut. Finally, spin the blades slowly to be sure they turn freely and the hub does move in along the rotor shaft. Step 8: Place the nose cone over the center line of the blade assembly and snap the nose cone into place.
How to connect your Nature’s Wind Turbine to your Nature’s Generator Step 1: Connect the wind turbine cable to the round connector from one side of the controller box by pushing and twisting the connectors Step 2: Connector the square connector from the other side of controller box to your Nature’s Generator “WIND INPUT” port. Visit NaturesGenerator.
Step 3: When your Nature's Wind Turbine spins at certain speed, you will see the whole display on your Nature's Generator lights up, if your Nature's Generator main power is switched off. It means your Nature's Wind Turbine is recognized by your Nature's Generator, but it is not powerful yet to recharge your Nature's Generator. When your Nature's Wind Turbine spins at proper speed, you will see the wind turbine icon on the display illuminates and battery bar starts running.
