Before Installing the Fan Turbine:
IMPORTANT
Please take note that the Fan Turbine is a proprietary wind driven electric generator.
It is
designed to reduce annual electric consumption by connecting it to the electric grid at the
breaker panel. It may also be used as a
stand-alone installation where connecting to a local
electric grid is not possible. Its unique and
highly efficient design enables it to begin
generating electricity starting at 2 mph (0.9 m/s) and
continue operating until 40 mph (17.9
m/s).A minimum average wind speed of 12 mph (5.4 m/s) is recommended for optimal wind
turbineoutput performance.Pleasefollowthe SiteSelection
guidelinesfor optimalinstallation.
Please contact Fan Turbine' Customer Service ifthere is any doubt or concern regarding this
electric generator or its installation.
