Quick Assembly Instructions for the TLG-403-MM rotor

Box contents:
(3) blades, (6) bolts, (12) flat washers, and (6) lock nuts.
(1) 17mm bushing/spacer to go on the generator shaft behind the hub for proper spacing between the hub and the generator housing.

For assembly you will need two 7/16 wrenches, or one 7/16 wrench and one 7/16 nut driver for assembly of the AL/MM Series blades.

First prime and paint your hub any color you desire.  After the paint is dry you are ready to continue assembling your rotor.

Hold a blade in your right hand with the mounting holes on the left side bottom.  The curve of the blade will follow the curve of your fingers in your right hand.
Flip the hub until the boltholes on the top arm of the hub are on the left side. The TLG logo will be facing you. 

The blade will sit on the front side of the hub.  Make sure the straight part of the blade is running flush down the hub.  The holes should line up and leave over half of the hub arm behind the blade for support.  
You should NOT be able to see any of the hub arms behind the blade if you have it on correctly.  See pictures below.

On the AL & MM series place a flat washer on a bolt, and press it through the hole in the front/face side of the blade.

Press the bolt that is now out the backside of the blade through the matching hole in the hub.

Place a washer on the bolt (it should be against the steel hub) then put a nut on. 

DO NOT over tighten and smash the Aluminum! Nice and snug is all that is required.

 Continue with the above process until all the hardware is installed.  

Care for the AL & MM Series rotors.

The entire TLG rotor line is made of Aluminum blades. 
You can polish and wax them,  If you want the polished look make them as shinny as you want, then clear coat them with a nice coat of clear paint.  The blades are made of a high grade aluminum and it takes a long time (many years) before they will even start to tarnish, but if you clear coat them they will stay looking new for a long time.

If you want to be creative with your blades feel free to paint them up any way you want to.  By the way I would love to see some really cool paint jobs.

We suggest you at least clear coat the blades to keep them from oxidizing.  Oxidizing is that gray yucky dead look that Aluminum can get when it is not protected from the elements.  However the AL series of blades have been out for more than 3 years and most people are saying they still look new, but oxidation will happen sometime along the way if they are left bare.
They're too pretty to let them get that way.

CAUTION!

Please use extreme care when mounting your blades to your generator.  The blades have sharp edges and if you are not careful you may be injured.  Do not have any part of your body near these blades once they are released and allowed to rotate from the unpredictable force of the wind.  The tips of the blades can go from 0 to well over 100 mph in as little as 1 second.  It would not be a pretty sight to come in contact with a moving blade.
