2.7 Claims
Claims that occur during transportation must be filed by the consignee (the buyer) with
the freight company, as shipping terms are FOB EX-WORKS (our distribution point as

Please read this manual thoroughly prior to assembly and installation of your Superwind
350/48V. The information provided is to ensure your safety during assembly, mounting and
operation, as well as during maintenance and troubleshooting. If you have any additional
questions please contact your dealer, a Superwind service partner or the manufacturer.
3.1 Potential Hazards
There are a number of potential physical and electrical hazards associated with the
installation and operation of a wind turbine. Familiarity with safety practices and
procedures beforehand is crucial, both in avoiding injury to personnel and damage to
the Superwind 350/48V wind turbine.
3.1.1 Mechanical Hazards
The main physical hazard is contact with a spinning rotor. The rotor blades can cause
serious injury, even at very low speed.
Never touch the rotor blades while moving!
Never try to stop the rotor by hand!
Never mount the rotor in a location where it can accidentally come into contact
with personnel!
The rotor blades are constructed of glass fibre and carbon fibre reinforced plastic.
This material is extremely durable (which enables your Superwind 350/48V to cope
with heavy storms) however it can break if objects strike the rotor at higher rotational
speeds.
Never allow objects to come in contact with the rotor while in operation!
3.1.2 Electrical Hazards
Even at low wind speeds, the generator can produce dangerous open circuit voltages
(up to 210 VDC) at no-load operation (i.e. with the electric connection to the battery
disconnected).
Charging currents can reach up to 7.5 Amps DC. As such, all cabling, electrical
components and connectors must be rated to 10 Amps. For correct wiring
dimensioning refer to Section 6.3.
The use of undersized cabling can result in overheating and failure, possibly
creating fire and shock hazards!
