1.2.1 Fasten all tower welding, bolts, and nuts and tighten all connections
before operation.
1.2.2 Before regular maintenance or battery replacement, shut down the
turbine by setting the charge controller switch to the “STOP” position.
Do not disconnect the battery wires when the controller is set to “ON”
position.
1.2.3 Caution: The moving rotor blades can be broken, if a solid object comes
in contact with them. After setting the controller switch to the “STOP”
position, you should wait until the blades stop rotating before any
maintenance or inspection of the blades.
1.2.4 The ARI wind turbine is designed to shut down automatically when a
strong wind blows through the site. However, before extreme weather
approaches your area, including but not limited to hurricanes, tornados,
and extreme winds (140 MPH+; 63 m/s), you should lower the tower to
protect from any potential accidents. Before lowering the tower, you
must set the controller switch to the “STOP” position, disconnect the
wires to the battery bank, and make sure the blades stop rotating.
