Maintenance
After the installation
One month after the installation of the wind turbine, we recommend checking
that the bolts have the right torque and tightening, if necessary.
Periodic maintenance
To ensure long life for your wind turbine, we recommend the following
maintenance schedule:
Each 6 months
If possible in the station changes, it is recommended to carry out a
maintenance inspection in which the following points should be checked:
Checking and readjusting the torque required for every bolt.
Checking state of wiring.
Visual inspection of blades.
Checking that the automatic breaking system works properly by
tilting it manually.
The main wind turbine parts for maintenance inspections are:
Bearings
Bornay wind turbines are equipped with great quality sealed bearings which
require no maintenance. You can check to see if they turn freely or if the
opposite occurs and some kind of friction or vibration is observed.
Bolts
The bolts used in Bornay wind turbines are stainless steel. If a bolt is missing
or in poor condition, it must be replaced right away in order to avoid any
breaking or further damage.
