Explain scheduled maintenance of Stall Pitch, Active Pitch controlled of WPP.

1 Answer

Answer :

Scheduled Maintenance of Stall Pitch:

In scheduled maintenance of stall pitch, following maintenance activities are performed quarterly or yearly basis:

1. Grease the cable, which pulls the blade tip.

2. Check the movement of blade tip and angle.

3. Check the carbon rod, which turns the blade.

4. Grease blade tip bearing. 

Scheduled Maintenance of Active Pitch Control:
