3. Get to Know Your Nature’s Generator Wind Turbine Controller box 100-foot-long Nature’s Generator wind turbine cable (not included)

3.1 Complete Electrical System

Your Nature’s Generator Wind Turbine comes with 100 foot long wind turbine cable and controller box. It is a complete electrical system to recharge your Nature’s Generator.

3.2 Built-in Protections

Your Nature’s Generator Wind Turbine controller box has built in over current protection and over voltage protection that prevent possible damage to your Nature’s Generator.

3.3 Grounding

Every wind turbine and turbine tower need to be grounded at the tower base. Grounding the tower at its base may help prevent shocks to persons touching the tower due to lightning or electrical faults. Please take the me to review the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local building and zoning regulations for complete requirements. Your Nature’s Generator Wind Turbine has a grounding cable included for this purpose.

3.4 Expandability

Your Nature's Generator Wind Turbine can be connected to another Nature's Generator Wind Turbine to double the charging speed by using dual controller box. Please visit www.naturesgenerator.com or contact Customer Support line at 800-975-7909 or email us at support@naturesgenerator.com.

4. Using Your Nature’s Generator Wind Turbine

4.1 How to choose the location

The wind speed has dramatic effects on your Nature’s Generator Wind Turbine. The location shall be carefully considered to achieve the optimal performance of your Nature’s Generator Wind Turbine, prior to the mounting of your Nature’s Generator Wind Turbine. Each installation is unique and often a compromise among surrounding environment, distance between your Nature’s Generator Wind Turbine and your Nature’s Generator, zoning requirements, budget and etc.

In general terms, the higher your Nature’s Generator Wind Turbine can be mounted, the greater the air flow will be and thus the better power production will be. However, towers are expensive and can easily exceed the cost of the turbine. The minimum recommended tower height is 20ft to 30ft above nearby obstructions as shown below. The obstructions create turbulence which reduces the efficiency of the wind turbine may accelerate wear and tear of your Nature’s Generator Wind Turbine.

Safety must be the primary concern when selecting the mounting location. Install your Nature’s Generator Wind Turbine so there is no possibility of accidental contact with rotating blades even if it requires installing the wind turbine in a less than ideal location. Safety has precedence over efficiency.

4.2 How to choose the tower

Your Nature’s Generator is designed to mount on nominal 1.5 inch schedule 40 steel tubing or piping. The outside diameter of the tubing or piping shall be around 1.875 inch to 1.900 inch. The steel tubing or piping should be available through your local hardware store. Under no circumstances should plastic pipe be used to construct a tower. Towers must be capable of withstanding 160 pounds of load in the horizontal direction at the wind turbine.

5. MAINTENANCE

Your Nature’s Generator Wind Turbine has been designed to run for long periods without requiring any maintenance. Performance will be enhanced if you periodically inspect your system. Review the following simple maintenance procedures and implement every six months.
Caution: Do not go near the wind turbine during operation.

• Check blades for superficial damage. Replace blades if damaged. It is important not to use blades that are damaged, as you will lose overall balance, resulting in a decrease in efficiency. Should you
notice damage to the blades, you must replace all 5. The blades are balanced as sets.
• Check the blade bolts and the nut for tightness.
• Check nose cone for cracks and tighten nuts.
• Wipe any excess dirt build-up from blades.
• Check electrical connections to make sure they are tight and free from corrosion.
• Lubricate the bearing to reduce the friction.

6. Troubleshooting

Caution: You may require an extra person to assist with these tests.
a. Remove the blade and hub from your Nature's Generator Wind Turbine.
b. Drain your Nature’s Generator to show only one bar or two bars of battery level.
c. Connect your Nature’s Generator Wind Turbine to your Nature’s Generator. And make sure your Nature's Generator main power is switched off.
d. Set your power drill at speed mode and use an 8mm hex drive bit (not included, please purchase separately) to spin the rotor shaft.
e. You will see the LCD display on your Nature's Generator lights up and then your wind turbine icon illuminates and the battery bar starts running. It means your Nature’s Generator Wind Turbine should berecharging your Nature’s Generator fine. You should also feel resistance on the rotor shaft.

If you have any questions on the trouble shooting procedures, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Support line at 800-975-7909 or email us at support@naturesgenerator.com.
