Offer the tail boom (05) to the rear of the generator and align the three inner fixing holes with
the inner studs. Fasten the boom to the rear of the generator with the three M8 Nylock nuts (18).
Now fit the four lower bolts (20), washers (19) and nuts (18) on to the
generator sides by means of the side bars. Level the boom with the
generator, secure the bolts through the rubber bushes so that the boom is
held in place and tighten all fastenings to the required torque setting (see
3.4 Pg 7).
Fasten the tail (07) upper and lower halves to the boom with the ten
stainless bolts (23), stainless flat washers (24) and with the ten stainless
Nylock nuts (23) provided. Now fit the tail stabilisers, two on each side
of the tail using the one longer stabiliser bolts (27) through the tail
boom and the middle of each stabiliser on either side. The other two
stabiliser bolts (26) are fitted through the tail with the washers (28)
and nuts (29) at each end of each stabiliser.
Do not over-tighten such that the tail boom is crushed or distorted. Always adhere to the torque
settings provided. Check once again that all bolts are fitted and tightened to torque settings (3.4).

of the generator and the nacelle cover and secure with the four
M5 screws to the required torque setting (see 3.4 Pg 7) through
the holes provided.
