period, in order to preserve the starter battery.
ATTENTION!
Non-return valve for the fuel return pipe
If the fuel tank should be installed over the level of the
generator (e.g. daily tank), then a non-return valve must
be installed into the fuel return pipe to guarantee that
through the return pipe no fuel is led into the injection
pump.
5.9.3 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. 5.9.3-1: Pre-filter with water separator
Additionally 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).

5.10 Generator DC system installation
Note:
The Panda 4000s.Neo has no DC alternator to charge the
Starter battery. The Starter battery 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
battery 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.
5.10.1 Connection of the starter battery block
An 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).
ATTENTION!
Make sure that the voltage of the starter battery fits to
the start system voltage
f.e. 12 V starter battery for a 12 V start system
f.e. 24 V starter battery for a 24 V start system (2x12 V
batteries in a row)
