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.
