READ THIS FIRST

This manual contains important information concerning your new PowerPal low head
micro-hydroelectric generator. It covers Models MHG-200LH, MHG-500LH and
MHG-1000LH. You should read this manual 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 propeller. If partly blocked with debris,
remove the generator from the canal before cleaning.
•
If you have any questions about safety, please ask your PowerPal Service Center.

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 flow rates than given for each model in this
manual, PowerPal is able to generate higher power outputs than rated. This is a
bonus, but only up to a limit. If maximum power consumption listed in this
manual is exceeded then the copper coils in PowerPal 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.
