Supplement Troubleshooting

The LED does not light.

[Check the connections between the generator, the cords, and the LED.]
Ensure that the LED is firmly inserted into the connector and that it flashes when the generator shaft is turned by hand.

The blades do not turn.

[Check for any contact between the blades and the casing.]
If the blades are making contact with the casing, rectify by pulling the hub out of the generator shaft slightly.
[Check whether the generator shaft can rotate smoothly.]
If the wind generator is exposed to rain and the like for an extended period of time, there is a possibility that rust will form on the generator shaft. In such a case, apply some light machine oil or the like to the shaft.

The wind generator does not turn to face the wind.

[Check the support column for tilting.]
If the support column is not perfectly vertical, the generator section will not be balanced, and instead of turning to face the wind, it will tilt towards its heavier side. In such a case, reorient the column in a perfectly vertical condition.
