SAFETY
Your Sunforce 600 Watt Wind Turbine is designed with your personal safety as the first priority.
However, there are still some inherent dangers involved with any electrical and/or mechanical
equipment.
Safety must be the primary concern as you plan the location, installation and operation of the
turbine. Please read the following:
Important Safety Instructions
Please take the time to read through this manual prior to assembly.
1) Place this instruction manual in a safe place for reference.
2) Wait until a calm day to install or perform maintenance on your Turbine.
3) Listen to your Turbine should you hear any mechanical noise, maintenance may be required,
please contact Sunforce Products Customer Service.
4) After installation re-adjust and tighten the screws and bolts.
5) Adhere to proper grounding techniques as established by the NEC.
6) Your Sunforce Wind Turbine must be installed in accordance with this manual and local and
national building code. Incorrect installation may void your warranty.
7) Wind turbine blades spin at a potentially dangerous speed this must be respected. Never
approach a turbine in motion.
8) Note wire size (gauge chart included) prior to wiring. Any under sizing of wire can be potentially
dangerous.
1.1 Mechanical Hazard
Rotating blades present the most serious mechanical hazard. The rotor blades are made of very
strong thermoplastic. At the tip, the blades may be moving at velocities over 15m/s. At this speed, the
tip of a blade is nearly invisible and can cause serious injury. Under no circumstances should you
install the turbine where a person could come in contact with moving rotor blades.
1.2 Electrical Hazard
The 600W Turbine is equipped with sophisticated electronics designed to provide protection from
electrical dangers. Please note that the inherent personal dangers from electrical current still exist,
therefore caution should always be used when connecting this and other electrical devices.
Heat in a wiring system is often a result of too much current flowing through an undersized wire
or through a bad connection. Please consult wire guide table below.
Batteries can deliver a dangerous amount of current. If a short circuit occurs in the wiring from
the batteries, a fire can result. In order to avoid this threat, a properly sized fuse or circuit breaker is
required in the lines connecting to the battery.
