HEAD ASSEMBLY:

STEP 12 — BLADE INSTALLATION:

Note: Do not tighten any of the blades on the hub until the blade braces have been installed.

Note: Hub must face down when blades and blade braces are being installed (‘face down’ means

the smaller bolt hole in the front must be facing down. The exposed 1” hole for the shaft

should face up). This allows the proper blade pitch—slightly forward—when complete.

1. Install all twelve blades (BLA), as shown in Illustration 3. Make sure the bolts and washers go

through the 3 holes in the blade, with the nuts attached on the inside of the hub. DO NOT

ﬁnger-tighten — keep VERY LOOSE!

STEP 13 — BLADE

INSTALLATION:

Illustration 4

1. Install all twelve blade braces

(BBR), as shown in Illustration 4

above. Keep all nuts very loose

until AFTER the last blade brace has

been installed. Again, it will help if

the hub is elevated up on a tire or

bucket, allowing the blades to fall

downwards, giving us a forward

pitch. MAKE SURE the small hole in

the hub is on the bottom and the 1”

hole is on top!

2. After ALL of the blades and blade braces have been installed, you can ﬂip the windmill

head over onto the other side (small hole on top). This makes it easier to reach the bolt

heads on the blades for tightening. Completely tighten all bolts on both the blades and

blade braces. A small impact driver or impact wrench with a deep socket placed inside the

hub along with an open ended wrench on the outside can speed tightening of all bolts.
