Shock Absorber - Bornay WIND 13+ Manual De Instalación

Wiring
All cable connections and switches must be properly checked in order to
prevent any disconnection and to allow the wind turbine to run freely.
Blades
The reinforced carbon fiber/glass blades are covered by a protective tape
made of abrasive polyurethane on the leading edges of the blades.
After years of use, this tape may be affected by weather conditions. If the
tape is missing or partially missing, contact your local installation office to
have the tape replaced. By failing to replace the tape, the life of the blade will
be seriously reduced due to the strong erosion the blade is exposed to.

Shock absorber

The wind turbine has one hydraulic shock absorber installed that prevents
abrupt shocks by promoting fast braking and slow return to its original
position.
The shock absorber has a little slack at the beginning of its return movement,
and this is normal. However, if this slack is observed to continue for over half
the return movement, and if oil is leaking, the shock absorber must be
replaced.
Lubrication
Wind + wind turbines have three moving parts:
The front shaft (blades-alternator) is equipped with sealed bearings and
covered with lubricant. It does not need any special attention; its lubricant will
last during its lifetime.
The yawing shaft (wind turbine-tower) is equipped with sealed bearings and
covered with lubricant. It does not need any special attention; Its lubricant will
last during its lifetime.
The alternator shaft (alternator-yawing system) is a stainless steel tube
covered with lubricant. It does not need any special attention. Its lubricant will
last during its lifetime.
