READ THIS FIRST
This manual contains important information concerning your new PowerPal T2 Turgo
micro-hydroelectric generator. It covers Model MHG-T2. You should read this
manual carefully before installing PowerPal or allow a trained technician from your
local PowerPal Service Center to install it for you.
Your PowerPal generator is designed to be simple to operate and easy to maintain. If
used in accordance with these instructions your PowerPal will give you many years of
service. PowerPal is also designed with safety in mind, but any electric device can be
dangerous if not used correctly. At several points in this manual, instructions
requiring special attention that must be followed are shown as:
Warning symbol - beware of hazards or unsafe practices that may cause
injury or death.
Caution symbol – beware of hazards or unsafe practices that may damage the
product.
SAFETY FIRST
While electricity improves your life, it can also be dangerous if simple
precautions are not followed:
• Never allow electrical contacts to become wet. Beware of electrocution.
• Never attempt to cut electrical wires or open appliances for repair if the generator
is working. Unplug the main cable first.
• Inform children of the dangers of electrocution. Never allow them to play with
electrical connections.
• Keep fingers away from the moving turbine runner. If partly blocked with debris,
stop the water flow before cleaning.
• If you have any questions about safety, please ask your PowerPal Service Center.
• Product must be earth bonded (grounded).
OPERATING CAUTIONS
Your PowerPal generator is designed for simple operation and low
maintenance. However, the following operating cautions must be followed to
ensure a long life for PowerPal:
• Under conditions of higher water heads than given for each model in this manual,
PowerPal is able to generate higher power outputs than rated. This can also occur
if the intake pipe diameter exceeds the recommended diameter. If maximum
power consumption listed in this manual is exceeded then the PowerPal generator
may be irrepairably damaged and require total rewiring. See the section on
‘Technical Specifications’.
• Do not forget to grease the bearings at the recommended times. Failure to do this
will result in excessive wear on the bearings and shorten their life.
• Always ensure that the Electronic Load Controller is set at approximately 220V.
Otherwise, the life of lights and appliances may be reduced.
