OWS Windmill Head Pivot Bearing
Our new Windmill Head Pivot Bearing allows the windmill head to turn much easier. This is ideal
for areas of low wind or areas where you might be closer to tree’s or building’s than recom-
mended. This item now comes standard on all wooden windmills.

NOT grease the washer!
3. After the completed rotor head unit has been mounted at the top of the tower, insert the air
line up through the tower (starting at the bottom and going out the top of the pivot tube). Put
a small amount of grease onto each end of the ½” x ½” ninety-degree hose barb. Connect one
end of the ninety-degree hose barb to the line running down the tower and to the pond. Push
the air line back down and insert the ninety-degree hose barb through the
9
⁄16” hole in the pivot
tube and into the ½” air line connecting the compressor (see Illustration 8). A long-handled
screwdriver or wrench can help leverage the hose barb into the ½” connecting hose.
4. Insert the hose into the elongated hose bracket and air line clamp that was attached to the tower,
just below the cone in the top 4’ section. Tighten to secure the air line in the clamp. This allows
the air line to spin on the hose barb and prevents kinking of the hose when the head spins.
5. Install the dome (DOME) on the outside of the blade hub assembly (HUB). Secure with the four
#10 x ½” sheet-metal screws (package G) to blade hub assembly (HUB).
