R
Fuel
Use a clean, good quality diesel fuel with a cetane
number of 45 or greater. Clean fuel prevents the fuel
injectors and pumps from clogging. Avoid storing
the fuel for more than a month. Take care to keep
all dirt, water and other contaminants out of the fuel
to prevent the growth of microbes. Microbes form
slime that clogs the fuel fi lter and lines.
Your boat’s AC electrical system operates on 120/60
cycle or 220/60 cycle power from the generator and/
or shore power.
It is recommended that you read and understand
the information in the manufacturers owners
manual before operating the generator.
The Fischer Panda 8KW diesel generator on the 370
Outrage provides 120 Volt Alternating Current, (AC)
to your boats electrical system through the AC Main
Breaker Panel. Connections to the AC electrical
system are made through the slide selector switch on
the AC panel. There is a remote operation panel also
located on the AC panel (Figure 3.25.1).
The generator has a built in cooling pump which
draws cooling water through a seacock located in the
aft machinery compartment. The raw water passes
through a strainer before entering the engine cooling
manifold. The seacock MUST be open in order
for the generator to function.
Inspect the strainer
frequently and clean if necessary.

CARBON MONOXIDE can cause severe NAUSEA,
FAINTING or DEATH. The exhaust system must be
leakproof and routinely inspected.

WARNING
Fuel Recommendation
NOTICE
# 2 Diesel
The generator draws fuel from its own tank located on
the starboard aft side of the machinery compartment.
The fuel system has its own fuel and water separating
fi lters.
The exhaust from the generator passes through a high
effi ciency marine lift type water cooled muffl er and
is discharged by a fl exible hose via an aft starboard
through hull fi tting (See fi g. 2.6.2).
The generator cover acts as protection and a sound
shield. It can be removed by pulling latches located
on the bottom of the housing.
