General information 1 1.13 Checking the oil level 1.12 Routine maintenance Remove the oil filler and clean the dipstick with a cloth. Refit by screwing the dipstick. Remove the dipstick and check that the oil level is between the two (min. and max.) marks. Add oil if necessary through the filler.
2 Installation instructions 2.1 Instructions for fixing the generator GB Warning Make sure there is enough space around the casing of the generator for cooling, leaving at least 20 mm of free space between the casing and the surrounding walls or parts. If the air intake of the generator remains behind a wheel of the vehicle, make sure that in the case of rain the wheel will not spray water onto or into the generator taking preventing measures if necessary (ex. antispray guards).
Installation instructions 2 2.2 Instructions for installing the exhaust system GB We recommend positioning the elbow of the exhaust pipe in line with the length of the casing (as shown in the figure) so more vibrations can be absorbed. Use the exhaust extension (available as accessory Ref. AG125) to extend the position of the muffler. Fix the extension to the floor of the vehicle. WARNING Do not make any sharp bends in the hose which could obstruct the exhaust gas.

2 Installation instructions GB 2.3 Instructions for the electrical connection Make the electrical connections respecting all applicable laws and regulations. Warning You will have to install a relay or commutator in the vehicle’s electrical system (ex. the accessory AG 102) in order to prevent damaging the generator when the external mains is connected; in this case we suggest connecting the generator so that it has priority over the external mains network.
Installation instructions 2 Battery connection GB To start the generator, connect it to the positive pole of the vehicle’s battery with a sheathed cable of a suitable cross-section as shown in the table. The ground cable must have the same cross-section and be connected or as shown in the figure to the side or from the inserts to the frame of the vehicle. Make sure that the contact is good. If necessary remove paint or rust from the surface of the frame and protect the connection with grease.

3 Troubleshooting, maintenance, recycling GB 3.3 Extraordinary maintenance For some maintenance operations there is the possibility of pulling the generator out by sliding the entire bottom of the generator on the guides fixed to the sidewalls of the casing. To free the bottom unscrew the fixing screws. Fixing screw Changing the oil • • Warning Hot oil can burn your skin! Check the oil level with the engine turned off.
Troubleshooting, maintenance, recycling 3 Air filter maintenance GB Warning Do not use diesel or solvents with a low evaporation point to clean the air filter element as it could catch fire or explode. Important If the air filter is dirty this reduces the flow of air to the carburettor. Therefore, to prevent carburettor malfunctions we recommend checking the state of the filter periodically, and more often if you are using the TEC 29 in particularly dusty areas.
3 Troubleshooting, maintenance, recycling GB Spark plug maintenance Warning The spark plug must be properly tightened. A loose spark plug can become very hot and damage the engine. Important When fitting a new spark plug, tighten it by half a turn after it has started compressing the washer. If you are fitting a used spark plug, tighten it by between 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn after the same has started to compress the washer. 0.7 - 0.8 mm Never use a spark plug with a different heat rating: 1.
