SUGGESTIONS
• Separate all stand components by item numbers before
assembly.
• While assembling stand, ip each component as needed
to provide the best appearance.
• Anchoring the windmill is critical, especially in areas of
strong wind. Ground stakes should be set in concrete. You
can also drill an auger into ground below center of
windmill and attach to windmill using a steel cable.
• Use a waterproong sealer to preserve wood on a
yearly basis. A cedar or redwood stain can also be used
as needed.
STEP 1:
Stand Assembly
• Refer to Page 1 during assembly. Attach three of Item 1
together using the angle iron connectors and sixteen short
screws from Bag A. Repeat this step to produce four legs.
STEP 2:
• Position the legs with the angle iron braces toward the
inside and touching the ground. Measuring from the
bottom of the legs, mark the outer edge of both legs at the
following measurements: 19 ½”, 55 ¼”, 92 ¾”, 120 ½”
and 129” (see Page 1). Using eight medium screws (two
per board) from Bag A, attach an Item 2 even with the
top and ush with the sides of the legs (NOTE: Try to get
the angles of the top section equal if possible).
TOOLS NEEDED
• Tape Measure
• Pencil
• Safety Glasses
• Power Drill with Phillips Bit (electric, cordless, air, etc..)
• Pliers

STEP 3:
• Using twelve medium screws from Bag A, attach two Item
3 boards in the lower section of the legs and two Item 4
boards in the middle section and 2 Item 5 boards in the
upper section. The top cross piece will require some force
to position and attach correctly. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to
produce two sets of legs.
STEP 4:
• Lift both leg braces and position as shown so you can
build the 3rd side of the tower. Using two medium screws
from Bag A, attach an Item 2 even with the top and ush
with the sides of the legs.
STEP 5:
• Using four medium screws (two per board) from Bag A,
attach an Item 6 above the 19 1/2” mark and ush with the
outside of the leg, an Item 7 above the 55 ¼” mark and
ush with the outside of the leg, an Item 8 above the
92 ¾” mark and an item 9 above the 129” mark. Lastly,
attach an item 10 at the 120 1/2” mark using the longer
screws from Bag A. See gure 6.
• Using medium screws attach an Item 6 above the 19 1/2”
mark, an Item 7 above the 55 ¼” mark, an Item 8 above
the 92 ¾” mark and an Item 9 above the 129” mark.

STEP 8:
• Send ¾” round rod through top opening. Using two longer
screws from Bag A, center and attach the Item 11 on top
of the Item 10 pieces.
STEP 9:
• Using four longer screws from Bag A, center and attach
the 4” x 4” metal plate to the top of the legs. Using four
short screws from Bag A, attach the ¾” rod to Item 10.
This completes the stand construction
STEP 7:
• Prop the upper portion of the stand on a stool or
sawhorse. Using eight medium screws (two per board)
from Bag A, center and attach four Item 12 components.
STEP 6:
• Repeat Step 3 by installing the cross braces on the lower
and middle sections. Roll the stand over and repeat
Steps 3 through 5 to complete the nal side.

STEP 11:
• Attach windmill tailn by sliding it into slit of tailn bracket.
Slide bolts through one side of bracket, attach washers
and nuts then tighten with wrench or pliers. This
completes the head assembly.
STEP 13:
• Move windmill tower to a desired location. Make sure it
is level. Hammer rebar into the ground or set in a
concrete footing for maximum support.
NOTE: Extra anchoring is strongly recommended by
using concrete footings for each of the four legs or
by using a 30-36” screw-in anchor in the middle of the
tower and securing all four corners with plastic coated
aircraft cable and clamps.
This completes the windmill assembly.

STEP 12:
• Attach brackets (TWO per leg) using the 16 screws from
Bag B at approximately 4” up from the bottom and 8” up
from the bottom. The rebar anchors will go into each one
of these and be secured with the four bolts, washers and
nuts.
STEP 10:
• USE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING AND ASSEMBLING THE
WINDMILL HEAD AS EDGES CAN BE SHARP.
Windmill Head Assembly
• Bolt smaller front bearing plate onto FRONT of windmill
head by inserting bolts through the bearing front (welds in
front) and the larger bearing plate placed onto the BACK
of the windmill head using ange lock nuts.
• Slide windmill shaft thru the windmill head and secure with
one large washer and nylock nut. Tighten nylock nut, then
loosen slightly until head spins freely. NOTE: This model
does not require grease. You might also spin the head to
check blade alignment. Sometimes some of the blades
get bent slightly in shipping. Look at the head as it spins
and gently bend some blades forward, others backward
until the head spins in a straight line.
