Windmill tips

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.
