11.2Tower Assembly
Tower:
The tower fasteners and members should be checked visually for damage. A random check of bolt torques should be carried out on flanges and braces (see Appendix J). All pal nuts should be in place and the anchor bolt nuts and hinge nuts should be seated snugly.
Tower Top:
All nuts and bolts on the tower top casting should be checked for proper torque (see Appendix M). The yaw lock should be checked for proper operation.
Twist Cable:
The cable connections should be checked at both ends for any damage, such as bare copper, melted insulation or loose strain relieves. The cable should be inspected for wear, abrasion, cracking or discoloration. If the cable is excessively twisted it should be disconnected at the tower junction box and untwisted.
11.3Drive Train Assembly
Gearbox:
The oil level should be checked and the seals inspected. The torque on all fasteners should be checked, where accessible (see Appendix M).
Generator:
The generator should be inspected for defects such as discoloration due to heat, signs of burning, etc. The torque on the mounting bolts to the gearbox should also be checked (see Appendix M).
Yaw Bearing:
The two bolt groups securing the yaw bearing to the transmission and tower top casting should be checked for proper torque (see Appendix J). If any bolts turn during the torque check, they must be removed and replaced using Loctite (see Appendix J). The bolts connecting the yaw bearing to the tower top casting should not have Loctite applied to them, if they are replaced. The yaw bearing should be greased periodically using a standard grease gun (usually five pumps per grease nipple). The seal should be inspected for cracks and other damage, and be repaired or replaced as necessary. For repairs it is recommended to use 3M Fast Track Adhesive. The yaw lock should be greased heavily.
Parking Brake:
The friction disks should be inspected for wear, checked to see whether it operates correctly and replaced if necessary.
