Tips on windmill operation
1. Keep oiled, they all leak after a few month operation.
2. Keep tail pulled in about 1/2 way-- no need to run wide open. Wind may come up when you aren't around to shut it down.
3. No pump reasons
A ). Leak in pipe
B). Bad leathers, bad check valves , or plunger valve, or worn/ dirty cylinder
C). Not in water far enough, at least ten feet recommended .
D) broken pump rod
E) broken trolley ( rod out), broken trolley drive mechanism.
4. In cold areas, weep hole important plus rod relief if weep hole stopped up and rod freezes --- prevents damage to tower rod or head.
5. Redundant check valve by installing cylinder( with good check valve ) with no plunger at end of active cylinder. Good for dirty wells.
