- 11.7 V lower open-circuit voltage (battery empty), recharge battery.
- 12.6 V upper open-circuit voltage (full battery) - trickle charge full battery at 13.2 V.
For a 24 V battery, the following applies:
- 23.4 V lower open-circuit voltage (battery empty), recharge battery.
- 25.2 V upper open-circuit voltage (full battery) - trickle charge full battery at 26.4 V.
These values are based on a battery temperature of 20-25°C. Observe the instructions from the battery
manufacturer.
Note: Starter battery recommendationFischer Panda recommends:
• Install battery circuit breaker and switch to OFF on the
machine. (Cutting the battery circuit.)
• Secure the battery plus terminal close to the battery.
• Regularly check contacts for corrosion.
3.8.2 Measures for short downtimes
Short downtime (1 to 3 months)
• Measure battery charge status based on open-circuit voltage.
• During downtimes >7 days, disconnect battery (e.g. battery main switch to position 0).
• Check the battery within 2 months and allow the engine to warm up for min. 10 min.
• Fill fuel tank to 100% (level to full).
3.8.3 Measures for medium term downtimes / hibernation
Medium term downtimes (3 to 6 months)
3.8.3.1 Courses for preservation:
• Check battery charge status and recharge regularly, roughly every 2 months, as necessary. Observe instructions
of the battery manufacturer.
• Check cooling water anti-freeze level and refill as necessary.
The anti-freeze agent must not be older than 2 years. The anti-freeze content shall be between 40 % and 60 % to
ensure corrosion protection of the cooling water circuit. Top off coolant if necessary.
If the cooling water is drained, e.g. after engine surface protection is applied, no water may remain inside the
engine during the downtime. The control unit must be marked accordingly with a note specifying “NO COOLING
WATER“.
• Drain engine oil as specified. Refill engine with preservative oil to the max. level on the oil dipstick.
• Drain diesel from tank and refill with a protective mixture (90 % diesel and 10 % preservative oil) (level to full).
Crank engine without start.
• Dismount V-belt as specified, wrap and store in a dry location. Protect against UV radiation.
Attention! Cover alternator apertures.
Cleaning fluids and preservatives must not enter the
alternator. Risk of destroying the alternator.
• Clean engine as per manufacturer's instructions.
