Safety instructions TEC60EV
10
• Installation, maintenance and repairs of the generator may only be car-
ried out by qualified personnel who are familiar with the risks involved
when handling generators as well as the relevant regulations. Inade-
quate repairs may cause serious hazards. For repair service, please
contact the manufacturer's branch office in your country (see back
page).
• People (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capac-
ities prevent them from using this device safely may not be allowed to
operate it without the supervision of a responsible adult.
Risk of asphyxiation
• 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.
Electrical shock
•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.
!CAUTION! Failure to obey these cautions could result in minor or
moderate injury.
Health hazard
• The generator may only be used with the flap closed.
Fire hazard
• 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. Petrol and liquid gas are 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 generator.
• If petrol is spilled, wipe it up properly and wait until the fumes have
cleared before turning on the engine.
Electrical shock
• Do not touch the generator and the cables with wet hands.
• Replace the fuses or thermo switch using only those with the same
technical data.

6 Intended use
The generator TEC60 EV is designed for use in motor homes, camper vans and vehi-
cles 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 6200 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):
• Power generator with permanent magnets (1)
•Combustionengine(2)
• Connection box (3)
•Inverter(4)
• Control panel (5)
The combustion engine (2) drives the power generator connected to it (1), which in
turn generates AC voltage.
The internal inverter (4) transforms this AC voltage into a stable voltage of 230 V and
50 Hz.
The terminals and the main switch are installed in the connection box (3) located
behind the door.
The control panel is used to operate the device (5).
The generator has an integrated battery charger for charging the connected battery.

8.1 Basic notes on operation
!
Please note the following basic information:
• 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.

10 Messages Status reports of the generator (see chapter
“Display messages” on page 16)
NOTICE! Damage hazard
Do not run the generator over 70 % of the maximum constant output for
the first 50 operating hours (run-in phase).
NOTE
By doing this you can prolong the service life of the generator and
optimise its output:
run the generator at a maximum of approx. 75 % of the maximum
continuous load after the run-in phase.
CAUTION! Beware of injury
Do not insert your fingers or objects into the air nozzles or the intake
grille.

• 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 30 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.
8.4 Starting the generator
The generator can only be started if it is in standby and the control panel is switched
on.
➤Start up the generator with the grey button “START/STOP” (fig. 33, page 4).
8.5 Stopping the generator
➤Stop the generator with the grey button “START/STOP” (fig. 33, page 4).
✓The inverter shuts down immediately. The engine runs for 30 seconds to cool
down, then the engine stops too.
ANOTICE! Damage hazard
Always stop the generator with the grey button “START/STOP” to avoid
engine damages. The turn off procedure with the red button has to be
used only for emergency.
