Installation Instructions

5.10.3 Position of the pre-filter with water separator
Inside the generator capsule itself, there is the fuel filter installed (exception: Panda 4500). Additional fuel filters (with
water separator) must be mounted outside the capsule in easily accessible places in the fuel lines between the tank
intake fuel pump and the diesel motor's fuel pump.
Fig. 5.10.3-1: Pre-filter with water separatorAdditionally to the standard fine filter a pre-filter with water
separator must be installed outside of the sound insulation
capsule in the fuel system line (not included in the delivery).

5.11 Generator DC system installation
Note:The Panda 5000i has no DC alternator to charge the
Starter battery. The Starterbattery must be charged by an
external device.
It is recommended to install an additional starter battery for the generator.
The generator is then independent from the remaining battery set. This enables you to start the genset at any time
with its own starter battery even if the other batteries are discharged. A further advantage of a separate starter bat-
tery is that it isolates the generator's electric system from the rest of the boat's DC system, i.e. minus pole (-) is not
connected electrically to Earth/Ground.
The generator is then Earth/Ground free.
5.11.1 Connection of the starter battery block
IAn own separate starter battery must be installed for the generator.
The positive cable (+) of the battery is attached directly at the solenoid switch of the starter motor (position 1). The
negative cable (-) of the battery is attached underneath the starter motor at the engine mount (position 2).
NOTE:
Panda Generators Panda 6000 and higher normally provided
with an alternator/dynamo to charge the starter battery. At gen-
erators without alternator/dynamo it is needed to charge the
starter battery with an external battery charger.
