The Rutland 914i is suitable for use at supervised land
based temporary and leisure applications. The
Furlmatic Windcharger model is designed and
recommended for off-grid land locations.
The Rutland 914i is designed to fit inside
aluminium, stainless or steel tube with an internal
diameter of 41mm. (1⅝"). IMPORTANT: The external
diameter MUST NOT exceed 48.5mm (1⅞), see
Warning in Introduction.
A suitable mounting pole can be erected using a 6.5
metre (21 feet) galvanised (medium) tube. The tube
must be supported by a minimum of four guy lines.
The attachment points for the guy lines to the tower
should be securely fixed to the tower.
Fig. 10
The guy wires should be a minimum of 4mm
•
(0.16") in diameter.
The shackles should be a minimum of 5mm (0.20")
•
in diameter.
Rigging screws should be a minimum of 5mm
•
(0.20") in diameter.
All items should be galvanised or stainless steel for
•
protection against corrosion.
Where guy lines are looped, the loop must
•
incorporate a thimble and be fitted with a
minimum of three rope grips.
All ground fixings must be made suitable
•
according to the terrain.
We suggest pivot type towers as these allow for easier
installation and lowering for access to the wind
generator. Two forms of pivot tower are suggested in
Figs 9 & 10.
A base-hinged 6.4m tall Land Tower Kit (Part No:
CA-12/08) and Rigging Kit (Part No:CA-12/07) are
available from Marlec.
