As a result it may be difficult to slide the hex lock onto the shaft in the first place. We recommend placing the hex lock onto a flat, horizontal surface such as a table and pushing the shaft vertically into the hexagonal hole. Slide the hex lock back and forth along the shaft a few times, which will loosen it a bit and make it easier to slide it on the next time. After placing the hex shaft into the nacelle or simpleGEN housing, a hex lock loosened in this way will slide on more easily than an unused hex lock.<\/p>\n<p>Hex locks and hex shafts are included in these products:<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/product\/drivetrain-set\/\">Drivetrain Set<\/a> (<nobr>KW-DS<\/nobr>)<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/product\/kidwind-advanced-wind-experiment-kit\/\">KidWind Advanced Wind Experiment Kit<\/a> (<nobr>KW-AWX<\/nobr>)<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/product\/kidwind-advanced-wind-experiment-kit\/\">KidWind Advanced Wind Experiment Kit<\/a> (<nobr>KW-AWXC<\/nobr>)<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/product\/advanced-wind-experiment-kit-nacelle\/\">Advanced Wind Experiment Kit Nacelle<\/a> (<nobr>KW-AWXN<\/nobr>)<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/product\/kidwind-basic-wind-experiment-kit\/\">KidWind Basic Wind Experiment Kit<\/a> (<nobr>KW-BWX<\/nobr>)<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/product\/kidwind-basic-wind-experiment-kit\/\">KidWind Basic Wind Experiment Kit<\/a> (<nobr>KW-BWXC<\/nobr>)<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/product\/kidwind-simplegen\/\">KidWind simpleGEN<\/a> (<nobr>KW-SGEN<\/nobr>)<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The hex locks are made to fit securely on the hex shafts to prevent the hex shaft from sliding out of position in the nacelle&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":43901,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[5793,5792,3916,5295,5319,5795,5794],"class_list":["post-3425","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","tag-hex-lock","tag-hex-shaft","tag-kidwind","tag-kw-awx","tag-kw-bwx","tag-kw-sgen-kw-ds-simplegen","tag-wind-turbine"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/til\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3425","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/til\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/til\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/til\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/43901"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/til\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3425"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/til\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3425\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/til\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3425"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/til\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3425"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/til\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3425"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
