List of Instructions and Diagrams for Assembling Your Wind Turbine
Please read all instruction sheets for each component thoroughly before beginning
Freedom 1600 watt and Freedom 2000 watt wind turbines include one locking collar only.

- Wiring the Rectifier: For 3 phase wiring, please see the instruction sheet that shipped with the rectifier. You can also refer to this post for a diagram and notes. If you're wiring the 2000 watt dual PMG, refer to our double rectifier guide.
- Installing a Slip Ring: If you're installing the optional slip ring, Jeff created an easy to follow video and guide for how to wire it to your wind turbine PMA or PMG.
Warning: Never install a wind turbine on a windy day. Make sure the turbine blades are not turning when you make the connections to the batteries as this will cause arcing and possible electrocution.
Galvanizing
Thank you for ordering from Missouri Wind and Solar – a company that provides heavy-duty, quality parts that are made to last. Some of your wind turbine parts may have gone through a hot-dipped galvanization process to provide a long-lasting finish that will resist rust under ordinary conditions.
With hot dip galvanization, the metal parts are dipped into the galvanizing material versus galvanization using electromagnetic plating. The finish of the electromagnetic plating process is different and may be what you are used to seeing with nuts/bolts, etc. but it is much thinner and not suitable for outdoor use.
If your wind turbine tail or arms have texture or a white haze to them, it will not affect the performance of the galvanization and is simply part of the galvanization process.
Freedom Wind Turbine Stars & Stripes Assembly
Watch the following video on how to assemble the Missouri Freedom wind turbines.
Please note that Freedom wind turbines now only include one locking collar to prevent crimping on the tower pole.
