1.1 Manual Use
This manual has been developed for use by qualified technicians for the operation and
maintenance of the wind turbines manufactured by Atlantic Orient Corporation (AOC). The
information provided specifically applies to the AOC 15/50 wind turbine and is valid for both the
50 Hz and the 60 Hz versions, unless otherwise stated.
It is essential for the reader to become familiar with the manual prior to preparing the site,
installing equipment, operating the system or servicing any equipment. The site should be
prepared, maintained, operated and managed to allow work to be performed safely and
efficiently. Special consideration should be given to installing, operating and maintaining
the wind turbine system under unusual conditions such as lightning, high winds or icing
(where applicable). For any operation or service related questions, please contact AOC for
clarification.
