Assembly and Operation
Refer to FIGURE 1 below, and the Assembly Drawing on page 5.
Warning!! Before setting this Windmill in the ground, contact your local utility company to
make sure there are no buried cables or pipes in the desired location. If locating the Windmill
on a rooftop, read and adhere to the warnings on page 3.
1. Stack the Blades (3) so that they resemble the pattern in the box in FIGURE 1, making
sure the fins face out, toward the wind. Lay number 2 over number 1 so that the holes
match. Then, lay number 3 over number 2 so that all four holes match evenly.
2. Lubricate the Bearing Assembly (4) prior to assembly, using a lightweight grease.
3. Using three Bolts (8) and three star Washers (10), attach the blade assembly to the
Bearing Assembly (4) and secure with three Nuts (6).
4. Attach the Directional Finder (2) to the Tube Frame (1) with two Self-tapping Screws
(5). Thread in the Bolt (9) to secure the Bearing Assembly (4). See Figure 1.
5. Tap Extension Tube (B) into the ground. Make sure it is securely in place and insert
Extension Tube (A) onto Tube (B).
Operation Notes:
1. A rattling sound in the tube is normal.
2. Just a few turns in a 24 hour period will effectively rid the area of moles.
3. Keep the unit lubricated. See Maintenance section below.
