Dometic TEC 40D [15/340] Switching the generator to standby or no function

TEC40D Operating the generator

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.
