8.3.3. Pelton (PLT) turbine assembly

Turbine arrives fully assembled, other than the jet holders. This exploded diagram will assist

you once it comes time to service the turbine.

It would be prudent for the installer to remove the PMA and check that all connections are

tight and familiarise themselves with the product so the can quickly service it in the future.

Installing jet assemblies

It may be necessary (depending on the PLT model) to

remove the Pelton runner in order to install the jet

assembly as shown. If so then follow the procedure

below in reverse order. The PVC jet sleeve is mounted

inside the turbine with the PVC ball valve on the outside.

Note that there is also a Jet ‘O’ ring that fits on the jet

sleeve thread after being inserted through the casing.

This ‘O’ ring ensures that the valve and jet sleeve seals

onto the casing and does not leak. The ‘O’ ring is on the

outside of the casing. Grease all threads.

Installing the Pelton runner

Ensure that when you mount the Pelton runner you fit it the correct way round. The water jet

should hit the splitter (the straight knife edge) of the Pelton spoons.
