11.4. Corrosion protection
The complete housing is made of seaworthy aluminum and additionally powder
coated. If the outer layer is damaged, there is a risk of corrosion. Please paint these
spots with suitable varnish (RAL9010).
11.5. Mounting system
Check the mounting system for stability and absence of loose screws (if applica -
ble).
11.6. Electrical system
Please first stop the SILENTWIND generator so that all wires carry no voltage.
Check if all connections are properly fixed and not corroded. If corroded they must
be removed and treated with contact spray. Give special attention to the battery
connections: they must be clean and greased with Vaseline. Check the battery in
line with the instructions of the producer and (if necessary) refill with destilled
water. In the case that more than one battery is used check if all batteries have the
same capacity and state of charge.
