been switched off, if it is not possible to use the return flow pipe as a submerge pipe placed in the tank. The instruc-
tions „Bleeding Air from the Fuel System“ must be read after initial operation or after it has stood still for a long
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.

Additionally to the standard fine filter a prefilter with
water separator must be installed outside of the sound
insulation capsule in the fuel system line (not included in
the delivery).
6.10 Generator DC system installation
The Panda generators from 6.500 NE upwards have their own dynamo to charge a DC starter battery.
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.
6.10.1 Connection of the starter battery block
I
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).
NOTE:
Panda Generators Panda 6000 and higher normally
provided with an alternator/dynamo to charge the starter
battery. At generators without alternator/dynamo it is
needed to charge the starter battery with an external
battery charger.
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
