PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Improper installation, alteration, service or maintenance may result in death,
serious bodily injury or property damage. Installation or repairs made by
unqualied persons could result in hazards to you and others. Installation
must conform with all safety and other codes of all governmental authorities
having jurisdiction.
The information contained in this Quick Start Manual is intended for use by
Authorized Installers or other licensed contractors who are experienced in
installing and servicing the WindTronics™ Wind Turbine, are familiar with all
precautions and safety procedures required in such work, and are equipped
with the proper tools and machinery.
When selecting the best location for the wind turbine, consider the following:
1. Wind – Is the area windy enough to warrant the installation of a wind turbine?
2. Height – Install as high as possible. Ideally, it should be greater than 33’ from ground to turbine center
for best performance and safety of personnel.
3. Obstructions – Place the turbine in the location furthest away from all obstacles (buildings, trees,
parapets, HVAC units, rooftops, etc.)
4. Prevailing Wind – As a general guide, place the turbine in a location that can best take advantage of
prevailing winds (if you do not know, you can nd historical “wind rose” information on the Internet).
IMPORTANT: PLEASE TAKE NOTE
If the prevailing wind has to travel across a rooftop before passing through the turbine it will be less
effective than if the turbine was placed where the wind would come into contact with the turbine rst.
