WINDMILL MAINTENANCE

Changing Oil and Lubrication (minimal) Oil should be change annually regardless of the type of windmill. Failure to do so could and probably will result in unwanted wear on mechanical parts.

Tower and Mill Inspection (minimal) Whether you have a steel or wood tower annual inspection is necessary. Steel towers have a tendency to rust and brake off at ground level after decades of use. So before climbing on a steel tower check the anchor connections with the gorund.

Check the brake device for wear.
