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). Electric current is particularly important there and ensures safety and comfort on board.
13. Troubleshooting ..........................22 14. Warranty ............................24 1. Use and area of application You achieve the greatest regenerative energy yield by the combination of wind generator and solar module, whereby you save the gained energy in a battery system and thus use the daylight and the available wind energy. Our charge controller is designed to connect an additional 300Wp max.
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.
2.2 Electrical hazards Only connect all components if you have the relevant experience. Complete all electrical connections before the wind generator runs for the first time. These voltages / currents can cause burns or fire if safety is disregarded. Caution with pacemakers, etc.! Never touch stripped cable ends. The current strength when charging batteries can reach more than 50 A direct current (DC).
The battery must be electrically isolated from the system during all work on the system. The rotor must not run loose during work by tying up a rotor blade, otherwise the charge controller may be destroyed. The electrical installation must be completed.
Weight Ca. 12 kg (Generator) Color White, powder coated - 2 layers Warranty 24 Months 3.2 Charge controller Charging criteria are set using the supplied external hybrid charge controller with boost function. The charge end voltage is adjustable for lead acid, gel, AGM, and lithium batteries.

All information is reliable. However, the manufacturer assumes no responsibility for inaccuracies or imperfection. The user of this information as well as the product bears full responsibility and risk. All specifications are subject to change without prior notice. 5. Functional description All wind generators use the kinetic energy contained in the wind.

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.

Assembly on a sailing yacht: The assembling height must be chosen so that no crew member is endangered by the rotor. The mechanical anchoring of the base point of the generator mast must be able to withstand the mechanical loads that occur, especially with rough seas.

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. After the blade assembly, the blade set is plugged onto the generator axis and screwed down with the enclosed nut and Allen key.
Attention: During this work on the rotor it must be ensured that the rotor cannot start. The 3 wired cable must be short-circuited. Otherwise, the rotor can start running and cause injuries. If you remove the SHARK S601 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 SHARK S601 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 Shark S601 flange must be attached to the mast! Either with 2 screws (picture 1) or welded on (picture 2).
12. Maintenance There is no maintenance work on the SHARK S601. The SHARK S601 was designed for years of trouble-free operation. This goal was very important to us. 13.
