1 - RECEIPT
1.1 - Inspection
Upon receipt of your generator, check that it
has not suffered any damage in transit. If
there are obvious signs of damage, express
your concerns to the transporter
(it may be possible to claim via the
transporter’s insurance) and after a visual
inspection, turn the generator by hand to
detect any potential malfunction.
1.2 - Identification
GEARLEC/TRACTELEC are identified by a
self-adhesive black/orange nameplate fixed
on the machine’s cowling.
Make sure that the name plate on the
machine corresponds with your order.
GEARLEC/TRACTELEC incorporate alter-
nators from the Low Voltage range that are
adapted and set up for agricultural use.
The GEARLEC/TRACTELEC range con-
sists of 2 products:
- the GEARLEC: GT3 is a product aimed at
the builder of the genset or installer,
- the TRACTELEC, a ready-to-use finished
product, is available:
• as a fixed version: TF3, unit mounted
without chassis,
• as a mobile version: TM3, unit mounted
on a three-point chassis to connect
TRACTELEC to a category 1 or 2 tractor
hitch in accordance with ISO 730
standard.
1.2.1 - Dimensions
The dimensions of the GEARLEC and
TRACTELEC range are defined in our
commercial catalogues.
1.3 - Storage
Whist awaiting commissioning, the
machines must be stored:
- away from moisture: in effect, at relative
humidity levels above 90%, the machine
insulation can drop very rapidly, to just
above zero at around 100%; the condition of
the anti-rust protection on unpainted parts
should be monitored,
- if the area is affected by vibrations, try to
reduce the effect of these vibrations by
placing the generator on a damper support
(rubber disc or similar) and turn the rotor a
fraction of a turn once a fortnight to avoid
marking the bearing rings.
1.4 - Applications
These alternators are mainly designed to
produce electricity in the context of
applications involving the use of generators.
1.5 - Usage restrictions
Use of the machine is restricted to operating
conditions (environment, speed, voltage,
power, etc.) compatible with the
characteristics indicated on the nameplate.
