Polyethylene pipe can be hazardous when uncoiling. The pipe behaves like a spring that
can recoil with surprising violence and cause injury. Take care when releasing the binding
from coils of pipe. Take care when straightening pipes that they do not spring back and hit
somebody. Give the pipe time to change shape. Warmer temperatures speed this process
up.
Commissioning hazards and safe practices
Securely fix the turbine base prior to operation.
Do not intentionally run turbine unloaded (for other than short duration VOC testing).
Do not run turbine at a head significantly above the nameplate rating.
In a turbine runaway situation turn off the water supply by closing the water supply
valve(s).
Check for excessive noise.
Complete turbine testing and commissioning and ensure that all protective
fairing/enclosures are in position after commissioning and prior to client hand over.
Comply with signage requirements as listed in relevant national standards.
Complete all documentation as required in this manual and local wiring rules.
Make relevant notes in the manuals that will be of assistance to future service personal.
Train the end owner/user of the turbine in routine care, safe handling and maintenance
of the hydro system.
