2. Your TRG turbine
2.1. Parts, functions and assembly
Congratulations on your choice of a PowerSpout turbine. This ingenious little device will give
you years of trouble free generation, avoiding the need for expensive generators or power
bills. Not only does the PowerSpout give you renewable energy, it is also made of
predominately recycled materials, making it one of the most eco-friendly micro-hydro
generators available on the global market.
This section is a guide to the parts of the turbine and what is supplied with it. If you
disassemble your turbine, take careful note of the positions of parts including any washers.
Take photographs to remind you of the details.
Your turbine will probably arrive assembled other than jets and valves, but we recommend
that you remove the magnetic rotor whilst greasing for the first time (shaft spinning). You
may need to remove the stator so as to connect wiring to the rectifier or EMC filter. You will
need to assemble the jet holders and learn to change jets. To get the best from the turbine
you should read this manual and get to know its parts.
Note that it is normal to feel some resistance when spinning the magnetic rotor by hand.
You will hear a slight humming sound. The rotor will slow to a halt after 2-3 seconds.
