5. If the wind turbine fails to deliver any current or open circuit V reading
undertake the further tests below.
6. Mechanical inspection. It may be necessary to remove the windcharger from
its pole for the following tests.
Check the brushes and slipring for wear or damage. To inspect the brushes,
remove the nacelle by removing the three fixing screws and slide the nacelle
backwards towards the tail fin. The brushes and slipring can be inspected by
removing the four self-tapping screws holding the brush holder assembly in
place. Remove any black deposits from slipring with emery paper. Heavy de-
posits and reduced power indicate a possible reverse connection to the battery
(see Page 10).
Check hub for free rotation with generator disconnected from battery.
If the hub does not rotate freely, check for a possible short circuit in the wiring.
If no wiring fault is found refer to your dealer or manufacturer.
If the above checks have identified a need for spare parts or failed to identify the
problem you should contact Marlec who can advise you of your nearest
distributor in their world wide network. In the first instance we recommend that
you contact the company from whom the product was originally purchased.
If in doubt, refer to your dealer or manufacturer.
