2.1 General safety
!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.
•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.
•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 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 officein your country (addresses on
the back page).
•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 front door 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. 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.
•TEC29 only: If petrol is spilled, wipe it up properly and wait until the
fumes have cleared before turning on the engine.
•TEC29LPG only: Compare the pressure information on the type
plate with the pressure information on the liquid gas cylinder.
•TEC29LPG only: Never store liquid gas cylinders in unventilated
areas or below ground level (funnel shaped holes in the ground).

•TEC29LPGonly:Keep liquid gas cylinders away from direct sunlight.
The temperature may not exceed 50 °C.
•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.
•Do not switch the generator to automatic mode near any ignition
sources (such as petrol stations, dry areas with risk of forest fires).
ANOTICE!
•TEC29 only: Do not fill up the tank too full. Petrol must not be
allowed to fill up to the neck of the tank. Check the lid is on properly.
2.2 Operating the device safely
!WARNING!
•Always disconnect the power supply when working on the device.
ANOTICE!
•Only operate the device if you are certain that the housing and the
cables are undamaged.

6 Intended use
The TEC29 (reference no. 9102900200) and TEC29LPG (reference no.
9102900179) generators are 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 con-
nected to the consumer with a total continuous load of 2600 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 TEC29 and TEC29LPG generators consist of the following main parts (fig. 1,
page 3):
•Combustion engine (1)
•Alternator (2) with permanent magnets
•Inverter (3)
•Internal control panel (4)
•Remote control (5)
The combustion engine (1) drives the alternator (2) connected to it, which in turn
generates AC voltage.
The inverter (3) transforms this AC voltage into a stable voltage of 230 V and 50 Hz.
The terminals, the socket for the connection cable to the remote control (5) and the
main switch are installed in the internal control panel (4).
Overview of the components:
•TEC29: fig. 0, page 8.
•TEC29LPG: fig. a, page 9
The generator has the following features:
•Integrated battery charger for charging the connected battery
•Automatic mode for charging the connected battery automatically (must be con-
figured accordingly when installed)

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 21).
•TEC29LPG only: Check there are no leaks from the gas supply using a leak
detection spray before every use.
•Even small overloads in the long-run will cause the cut-out switch (TEC29) or the
fuses (TEC29LPG) to trigger.

10 Messages Status reports of the generator (see chapter
“Display messages” on page 19)
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 max-
imise its efficiency.
CAUTION! Beware of injury
Do not insert your fingers or objects into the air nozzles or the intake
grille.

•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 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 4) in the control panel.
8.3 Switching the remote control on and off
This switch on the remote control (fig. 32, page 4) is for switching the remote con-
trol on and off.
➤Switch the remote control 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 remote control is switched
on.
