    Why is my Fischer Panda 8000i generator output voltage too low?
    • M
      Maria PattersonAug 14, 2025
      The generator's output voltage might be too low because the PGMi is overloaded. To resolve this, reduce the electrical load by switching off some devices.

    What to do if my Fischer Panda Inverter motor stops by itself?
    • S
      Stephanie BarnettAug 17, 2025
      If the motor stops by itself, it could be due to several reasons. First, check the fuel supply system for a lack of fuel. Second, examine the cooling system for excess heat or a lack of cooling water, indicated on the remote control panel. Check the cooling water system flow, including the water pump, inlet water filter, and coolant flow in the extra heat exchanger. Lastly, check the oil level; if it's low, top it up. If the oil pressure sensor tripped, have the motor's oil pressure repaired by Kubota-Service if necessary.

    Why is my Fischer Panda 8000i Inverter producing sooty, black exhaust?
    • R
      Roger GonzalezAug 21, 2025
      A sooty, black exhaust from your Fischer Panda Inverter can be caused by several factors. It could be due to the generator being overloaded, so check the electrical load and switch off any unnecessary devices. Another cause might be insufficient intake air, in which case you should check and clean the intake air filter. Other potential causes include faulty fuel injector nozzles (replace them), incorrect valve clearance (readjust to the correct value, referring to the Kubota manual), poor fuel quality (use better quality diesel, recommended 2-D Diesel), poor combustion (have the motor serviced by Kubota due to incorrect AFR), or low compression pressure (consult the Kubota motor manual).

    What to do if my Fischer Panda Inverter motor turns over but does not start?
    • C
      Cindy GeorgeAug 25, 2025
      If the motor turns over but doesn't start, several issues could be the cause. Start by checking the wire connections and circuitry to the stop solenoid valve. Also, check the fuel filter and pump, cleaning if necessary. Ensure there's enough fuel and check the fuel supply. Verify the glow plugs are working correctly and check the heating time. Inspect the fuel system for leaks and bleed any air from it. Replace the fuel filter if it's blocked. If the issue persists, low compression pressure might be the problem; consult the Kubota motor-manual.

    Why does the speed of my Fischer Panda 8000i motor drop?
    • K
      Keith WilsonAug 27, 2025
      A drop in the motor speed of your Fischer Panda Inverter can occur due to several reasons: * Too much oil: Drain oil. * Lack of fuel: Check the fuel supply system, including the fuel filter (renew if necessary), fuel pump, and fuel lines (bleed if necessary). * Lack of intake air: Check air intake paths and clean the air filter (and intake muffler if installed). * Generator overloaded: Reduce the electrical load by switching off devices. * Defective generator: The generator must be sent to the manufacturer for repair of damaged bearings or winding. * Damaged engine: Bearing damage should be repaired by Kubota-Service.

    What to do if my Fischer Panda 8000i Inverter motor does not turn over when starting?
    • T
      Taylor PattersonAug 31, 2025
      If the motor doesn't turn over when starting, first check if the battery main switch is switched off and turn it on if necessary. Next, verify that the battery voltage is sufficient and that the connection is firm and free of corrosion. Lastly, investigate for a starting current fault by observing the voltage of full batteries, which should fall to a maximum of 11V. If the voltage doesn't drop, the wiring is severed; if it drops further, the battery is discharged.

    Why does my Fischer Panda Inverter motor run irregularly?
    • E
      erinbrownSep 3, 2025
      An irregularly running motor in your Fischer Panda Inverter can be due to a faulty centrifugal injector governor, which should be inspected by a Kubota-Service technician. It can also be caused by too much air in the fuel lines, in which case you should bleed the air from the fuel system.

    What to do if my Fischer Panda 8000i motor does not turn over at the normal speed during the starting process?
    • A
      Amy BarrSep 6, 2025
      If the motor does not turn over at the normal speed during starting, check the starter battery voltage to ensure it is sufficient. Also, damaged bearings or a seized piston could be the cause, requiring repairs by Kubota-Service.

    What should I do if there is cooling water in the combustion chamber of my Fischer Panda Inverter?
    • L
      Lindsay RobertsSep 10, 2025
      If there's cooling water in the combustion chamber: 1. Turn the generator "OFF" at the 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 the cause for excess water in the combustion chamber, which may be a defective air vent in the cooling water system. Check, clean, or replace the air vent if faulty.
