!WARNING!
•Electrical devices are not toys
Keep electrical devices out of reach of children or infirm persons. Do
not allow them to use electrical devices without supervision.
•This device can be used by children aged 8 years or over,as well as by
persons with diminished physical, sensory or mental capacities or a
lack of experience and/or knowledge, providing they are supervised
or have been taught how to use the device safely and are aware of the
resulting risks.
•Only use the device as intended.
•Do not make any alterations or conversions to the device.
•Installation, maintenance and repairs of the generator may only be
carried out by qualified personnel who are familiar with the risks
involved when handling generators as well as the relevant regulations.
Inadequate repairs may cause serious hazards. For repair service,
please contact the manufacturer's branch office in your country
(addresses on the back page).
•Mark the area surrounding the device during maintenance work and
prevent access to areas where activation can cause perils.
•Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide which is a highly toxic,
odourless and colourless gas. Do not inhale any exhaust fumes. Do
not leave the generator motor running in a closed garage or in a room
without windows.
!CAUTION!
•The generator may only be used with the inspection cover closed.
•Remove all flammable materials such as petrol, paints, solvents, etc.,
from the vicinity of the generator.
•Ensure that hot parts of the generator do not come in contact with any
flammable materials.
•Only refuel the generator when it is switched off and in a well-venti-
lated area. Diesel oil is highly flammable and can explode.
•Do not refuel the generator when the vehicle engine is running if the
tank is in the vicinity of the vehicle engine.
•Wipe up spilled diesel oil properly and wait until the fumes have
cleared before turning on the engine.
•Do not touch the generator and the cables with wet hands.
•Replace the fuses using only those with the same technical data.

6 Intended use
The TEC40D generator (ref. no. 9600000116) is designed for use in motor homes,
camper vans and vehicles for commercial use.
The generator is not suitable for installation in water vessels.
The generator produces a pure sine wave voltage of 230 V/50 Hz which can be
connected to the consumer with a total continuous load of 3500 W. The power
quality is also suitable for sensitive consumers (such as PCs).
The generator can charge a 12 V battery.
7 Technical description
The generator consists of the following main parts (fig. 1, page 3):
•Alternating current generator (1)
•Endothermic engine (2)
•Internal control panel (3)
•Inverter (4)
•Remote control (5)
Theendothermicengine (2) drives the alternating current generator (1)connected to
it, which in turn generates AC voltage.
The integrated inverter (4) transforms this AC voltage into a stable voltage of 230 V
and 50 Hz, which is available at the inverter terminal. The socket for the connection
cable to the control panel (5) is installed in the inverter.
The terminals and the main switch are installed in the internal control panel (3)
located behind the door.

NOTICE!
Do not run the generator over 70 % of the maximum constant output for
the first 50 operating hours (run-in phase).
NOTE
Run the generator at a maximum of approx. 75 % of the maximum con-
tinuous load after the run-in phase.
By doing this you can prolong the service life of the generator and
maximise its efficiency.
CAUTION! Beware of injury
Do not insert your fingers or objects into the air nozzles or the intake
grille.

Please note the following basic information:
•When operating the generator at low temperatures (< 0 °C) you have to use
winter diesel fuel or you have to add a percentage of petrol to the diesel oil
according to the following table:
•Always check the oil level before use (chapter “Checking the oil level” on
page 18).
•Even small overloads in the long-run will cause the generator to stop.
•Leave the generator running for a few minutes after use without any consumers
before stopping it.
•Abrupt braking, accelerating and driving round bends in the vehicle can cause
problems in the generator's pump system and lead to unwanted shutdown.
•If you are not using your generator for a longer period of time, start it up at least
every 10 days and leave it running for 15 minutes or more.
8.2 Switching the generator to standby or no function
The generator can be switched to standby or no function with the main switch
(fig. 21, page 3) in the connection box.
8.3 Switching the control panel on and off
This switch on the control panel (fig. 32, page 4) is for switching the control panel
on and off.
➤Switch the control panel on with the on/off switch.
✓The display shows: GEN OFF.
The display switches off automatically after 5 minutes if the start button is not
touched within this time.
Press the start button to switch on the display again.
✓The generator can now be started.
