1 - RECEIPT
1.1 - Inspection
On receiving your generator, check that it has not been
damaged in any way during transportation.
If there is any obvious damage, contact the carrier (a
claim can be made on their insurance) and after a visual
check, turn the generator by hand to detect any possible
fault.
1.2 - Identification
GEARLEC / TRACTELEC are identified by a self-adhesive
black/orange nameplate on the machine cover.
Check that the nameplate on the machine corresponds
to your order.
GEARLEC / TRACTELEC incorporate alternators from
the PARTNER range, especially designed for agricultural
use. The generator is identified by another metal name-
plate riveted on the casing.
The GEARLEC / TRACTELEC range comprises 2 pro-
ducts :
- the GEARLEC : GT 41.1, GT 42.1, GT 44.1 is intended
for the builder of the generator set or installer,
- the TRACTELEC is a finished product, ready to use,
and available :
- as a fixed version : TF.1- 27 , TF.1-38 and TF.1-70
(without 3-point chassis),
- as a mobile version : TM.1- 27 , TM.1-38 and TM.1-70
(with chassis enabling the TRACTELEC to be fixed to a
tractor's 3-point linkage.
1.2.1 - Dimensions
The dimensions of the GEARLEC range are set out in
catalogue ref : 626 and those of the TRACTELEC range
in catalogue ref : 634.

1.3 - Electrical diagram/coupling/regulator
Both the electrical diagram for the alternator and the
terminal connections are defined in the maintenance
manual ref : 1383. For TRACTELEC, electrical connection
should be performed in accordance with the diagram
(Fig. 1). Electrical installations must conform to the legis-
lation in force in the country of use.
- A current reversing switch must be placed
between the mains and the GEARLEC
equipped with a panel, or TRACTELEC.
1.4 - Storage
Before commissioning, machines must be :
- sheltered from humidity : for relative humidities greater
than 90%, the machine insulation can drop very quickly
and become virtually non-existent at around 100%;
check the anti-rust protection on unpainted parts.
For a very long storage period, it is advisable to place
the motor in a sealed package (eg. heat-sealed plastic)
containing dehydrating sachets, protected from frequent
significant temperature variations to prevent formation of
condensation during storage.
- In the event of surrounding vibrations, try to reduce the
effect of these vibrations by placing the generator on a
damping support (eg. rubber plate) and turn the rotor
slightly once a fortnight to prevent the bearing rings from
being marked.
