Attention!
In the event of starting problems, close the sea water
inlet cock. Panda marine generators only.
Should there be any reason to turn the engine (over) or start
the engine i.e. to bleed the fuel system, the sea water inlet
cock must be closed! During the starting process, the cooling
water pump is driven with the motor. The cooling water is
discharged to the exhaust outlet and, since the motor has not
run, the exhaust pressure is not high enough to expel the sea
water which has been brought to the exhaust outlet. To avoid
filling the exhaust outlet with water and causing further
problems, close the inlet sea water valve.
Once the engine is running, be sure to open the inlet valve!
13.5.2 Stopping the generator
1. Switch off load.
2. Recommendation: With turbo engines and during load more than highly 70 % of the rated output, stabilize
generator temperature at least 5 minutes with load switched off.
At higher ambient temperatures (more than 25 °C) the generator should always run for at least 5 minutes without
load, before it is switched off, regardless of the load.
Fig. 13.5.2-1: Stop
3. Press button „off“ (switch off).
LED for „on“ = off.
Attention!
Never switch off the battery until the generator has
stopped, if necessary close fuel valve!
