1. PRECAUTIONS The AWS Wind Turbine has been designed with your safety in mind. However, there are inherent dangers involved with any electrical and/or mechanical equipment. Safety must be your primary concern as you plan the location, installation and operation of the turbine. At all times be aware of electrical, mechanical and rotor blade hazards.

Check support structures, blades, and electrical systems regularly. The rotor blades are very strong; however, if they come in contact with a solid object, they can break. When performing periodic inspections, or if you must approach the path of the blades, disconnect the power leads from the battery and tie the wind turbine output leads together to stop /slow down the blades from rotating.
3. WIRING AND INSTALLATION PROCEDURES Your AWS Wind Turbine is shipped partially assembled. Please completely read all procedures before beginning installation. NOTE: Do not install the blade/hub until the turbine is mounted on the tower 4mm hex key wrench (included)
4. LOCATION SELECTION To ensure good performance from the Wind Generator, it is important that care is taken in the site of the machine. Buildings, trees and rocky outcrops etc. disrupt the smooth flow of wind creating a “Wind Shear” with the wind velocity nearer the ground being slower than that higher up.
The Wind Generator should be mounted on a tower a minimum of 25' (8 meters) above any surrounding objects within a 500' (150m) radius. If this is not possible, then place it as high as you can. If this is a roof top installation, it is important there are no objects around the structure that may block the wind.

For more information about some very economical tower kits for the wind generator, please refer or purchase them from your dealer or distributor. 6.3 INSTALLATION OPERATION Choose a calm day and have someone available to help during the installation process. NOTE: THE BLADE EDGES ARE SHARP.
6.5 Step-by-step instructions outline of the AWS Marine grade AWS400 wind turbine 1).Ensure the voltage systems of the wind generator and the battery bank are the same. Prepare the appropriate wires. 2).Run the wire through the pipe and drag the wires near to the batteries (Do not connect to the battery), strip the insulation back from each set of wires.

6).Place one of the blades on the hub socket and insert one of the M6-15 socket head cap screws. Place a plastic disk on the end of the screw, then place self-locking nut (M6) and tighten it with the 5mm hex key to 8-10 foot lbs.

9) Place the nose cone over the center line of the blades assembly and snap the nose cone into place. Carefully check it is secure by firmly pulling on and be sure all three edges are catch. Don't worry if the nose cone missing, it will not affect the performance of the wind generator.
Generator Can Yaw (turn Into The Wind) Properly. CONGRATULATIONS! You have completed the installation process now. 7. Warranty policy proof of purchase is required(Receipt) AWS wind turbine 7.1 ELEVATION An important fact to keep in mind is elevation. The higher a Wind Generator is from sea level, the lower the air density.
