A wind turbine (2) includes a tower member (4) a yaw system (12), and a wind energy collection system (14). The wind energy collection system (14) includes a central hub (16) and a plurality of blade members (20-22). The wind turbine (2) further includes a component manipulating system (46, 160) operatively coupled between at least one of the plurality of blade members (20-22) and the tower member (4). The component manipulating system (46, 160) includes a blade member support structure (54, 166) including a first end (60, 185, 191, 214, 217, 220) pivotally connected relative to the tower member (4) that extends to a second end (61, 186, 192, 215, 218, 221) operatively coupled to the one of the plurality of blade members (20-22), and a winching system (141) operatively connected to the one of the plurality of blade members (20-22) and the tower member (4). The winching system (141) is selectively operated to shift the one of the plurality of blade members (20-22) relative to the tower member (4) in order to enable serving of the wind turbine (2). |
