The procedures upstairs do not include the step of warming up the turbine at low speeds; instead, after operating the hydraulic turbine at 1500–1600 rpm for 5–10 minutes, the control valves for regulating the high-pressure liquid level and those related to the turbine are set to automatic control

Yes, without this part, there is a process involved in accelerating the engine after warming it up
