Seite/Page 180 - Kaptitel/Chapter 8: Generator Faults 18.12.15
8.4.7 Motor does not achieve enough speed during starting process
8.4.8 Motor runs unsteady
8.4.9 Motor speed drops
8.4.10 Motor runs in off position
8.4.11 Motor stops by itself
Cause Solution
Starter battery voltage insufficient. Check battery.
Damaged bearing(s) piston (seized). Repairs need to be carried out by engine manufacturer service, or
Fischer Panda representative.
Cooling water in combustion chamber. 1. Turn generator „OFF“ at control panel.
2. Remove the glow plug
3. Rotate the motor by hand carefully.
4. Check if there is water in the oil and change both oil and filter if
necessary.
5. Determine cause for excess water in the combustion chamber. The
excess water can be caused by a defective air vent in the cooling water
system, which should be checked and cleaned, or replaced if faulty.
Cause Solution
Disruption in the area of the injection systems’ automatic advance. Repair / Check the automatic advance via the motor service.
Air in the fuel system. Ventilate the fuel system.
Cause Solution
Lack of fuel Check fuel supply system:
- fuel filter, renew if necessary
- check fuel pump
- check fuel lines (bleed if necessary)
Lack of intake air. Check air intake paths.
Check and clean air filter (and intake muffler if installed).
Generator overloaded by too many load. Reduce the electrical load (switch off load).
Generator overloaded by over-energizing. Check that the proper capacitor type is installed and that they are
connected correctly.
Defective generator (windings, bearings, or other). Generator must be sent to manufacturer for repair of damaged bearings
or winding.
Damaged engine. Repair of bearing damage, etc., by engine manufacturer service, or
Fischer Panda representative.
Cause Solution
Fuel inlet solenoid valve or throttle shut solenoid is not switching off. Check wire connections to solenoid. Check valve functions as in the
„Fuel Solenoid Valve“ or in the throttle shut off solenoid sections.
Replace if necessary.
Cause Solution
Lack of fuel. Check fuel supply system.
Excess heat in cooling system (thermo switch tripped)-lack of cooling
water. Is indicated on the remote control panel.
Check cooling water system flow: water pump, inlet water filter, extra
heat exchanger coolant flow.
