'Running in' the Turbine
Drain Hole
To change the load, you may adjust just one load adjustment screw, but may find better load control if you adjust both adjustment screws at the same time.
The turbine uses seals to prevent water entering its bearings. When the seals are new or the turbine has not been for some time, the friction caused by the seals can be higher then normal. Therefore, you must run the turbine for a few minutes before you do any tests. This is important because the turbine is small, so friction has a large on its performance.
