Dear customer! Congratulations on your decision to purchase the SHARKY S401. He is distinguished from conventional wind generators with high security, enormous efficiency and very low noise level over the entire range. You also benefit from our more than 30 years of experience with various wind generators used on the high seas (Silent Wind from Spreco on sailing boats).
230 V inverter. Our wind generator is very efficient and aerodynamic. If the energy requirement is higher, several SHARKY S401 wind generators can be used in parallel. Due to the low noise level, the SHARKY S401 wind generator can be installed in residential areas and on sailing yachts without disturbing the neighbors.
2. Safety instructions Wind generators are due to the high speed and the voltage generated not harmless. Therefore, please read the following safety instructions with great care: 2.1 Mechanical hazards The rotating rotor poses a great danger. Above a certain wind speed, it even appears transparent so that the danger is not visually recognized.
It must be ensured that the electrical installation is only carried out by people with expertise. Before a storm, the SHARKY S401 should be braked using the stop switch built into the charge controller. In the event of an oncoming hurricane, it makes sense if a rotor blade is tied to the mast.
otherwise the charge controller may be destroyed. The electrical installation must be completed 3.

Stationary assembly: The required assembling height depends on how much the surrounding objects deflect the wind from his main direction. To do this, you can first carry out a simple experiment by attaching a plastic tape (approx. 3 m long and 4 cm wide) to a rod that is at least 4 m long, at the upper end and additionally attach a second tape two meters lower.

When the mast is installed in the correct location, the relatively simple assembly of the SHARKY S401 can begin. To do this, first mount the three carbon fiber blades with the respective screw set on the Hub. Note - The screws must be properly tightened (the tightening torque is 7 - 8 Nm.) Please see our videos in the...
Page 16
The blades are balanced by the shape of the hub disc by the special type of manufacture (conical mount). An incorrect tightening torque represents a considerable safety risk. Check the rotor blades regularly for tightness, optically and mechanically! Should it happen that a blade is damaged by external influences, a single blade can be ordered by notifying the exact weight of the remaining good blades.
The 3 wired cable must be short-circuited. Otherwise, the rotor can start running and cause injuries. If you remove the SHARKY S401 from the mast to replace the rotor blades, you must ensure that the blades do not start moving before you have finished the work (3 AC cable short circuit).

Inspection O.K. Mast construction (not included); Check according to the enclosed instructions, in particular all screw connections, anchoring, vertical alignment. Earthing and lightning protection connected according to local regulations? Electrical installation: Check the condition of the battery and connect it to the charge controller with the correct polarity Charge controller: Is the charge controller securely attached to the installation site? (Choose...
Mast mounting: Is the damping rubber correctly screwed to the flange and checked for tightness? Rotor blades: Is the assembly carried out according to the instructions? Blade Hub: Is the hub mounted on the generator shaft? Has the central fastening screw been tightened to 30 Nm? If our charge controller is not used: Connection to the three-phase rectifier (optionally available from us in the shop) can be found in the package Leaflet.
11. Checks Your SHARKY S401 is designed to last for years without any maintenance. However, simple and regular checks are always part of it to ensure the necessary operational safety. Your safety is very important to us! Before you start the check, make sure that during all work on the system, the rotor is brought to a standstill and the battery is disconnected from the system.
11.4 Corrosion protection All housing parts consist of a seawater-proof aluminum alloy and are additionally treated with a powder coating (2-layer structure). If this layer is damaged, there is a risk of corrosion. Please touch up with a suitable varnish. 11.5 Mast construction The mast should have an outer diameter of 48mm and a wall thickness of at least 2.5mm.
12. Maintenance There is no maintenance work on the SHARKY S401. The SHARKY S401 was designed for years of trouble-free operation. This goal was very important to us. 13. Troubleshooting You should be able to solve a problem yourself with the following checklist:...
