Installation manual

If the fastening torque is too high, this will destroy or damage the blades. If the

fastening torque is not high enough, the blades can get lose. A wrong fastening

torque is a considerable safety risk.

Before the ﬁnal tightening of the blade screws, make sure that the distance

between the blade tips is exactly the same, in order to avoid vibrations. Move each

rotorblade in running direction towards the edge of the blade guide of the

hub. The running direction is clockwise looking from the front. Then ﬁx the

blades as described above.The blades should then be ‘in balance’: The blades

have been balanced statically and dynamically.

In case of damage of only one blade you can buy a single one. When ordering one

blade, be sure to inform RULIS Electrica, Lda. on the exact weight of the undam -

aged blades.

An incorrect tightening torque represents a signiﬁcant security risk.

Regularly control the ﬁxation of the blades!

After attaching the blades to the hub, the set is ﬁxed to the generator shaft with the

enclosed screw nut (use the enclosed hexagon socket screw key). After that, snap

the nose cone into place on the assembly hub. (see page 17, sketch 5, 6 and 7)

Then you must connect the three AC outlet cables which have to be led from the

SILENTWIND to the charge controller.

Attention: During this procedure the 3 AC wires of the extention cable at the end

must be connected together. Otherwise the rotor system may start running and you

can get injured.

Finally you mount the SILENTWIND on the mast. Fix the 4 hexagon screws to the

yaw clamp after inserting the rubber pad (see page 18, sketch 8)

When tightening the screws take care for a uniform, circumferential tightening of

the 4 screws. The tightening should be made with small increments in order to

avoid damaging the marine grade painting.
