5.Mechanical inspection. It may be necessary to remove the Wind charger from its
pole for the following tests.
A Check the brushes and slip ring for wear or damage.
To inspect the brushes, remove the tail fin and the plastic nacelle.
•
The brushes can be inspected by removing the caps from the brush holders &
•
withdrawing the brushes.
Heavy deposits on the slipping and reduced power indicate a possible reverse
•
connection to the battery. Clean the slipping with fine glass paper and fit new
brushes.
B 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.
