Fig. 6.10.1-2: Negative Battery Cable

Negative battery cable

The negative (-) battery cable is connected to the engine 

foot. 

Note! The battery negative pole may not be connected 

with the boat ground or with the protective grounding of 

the 120 V installation! 

Fig. 6.10.1-3: DC-Relay

DC-Relay

The Panda generators 8000 to 30 are equipped with various 

DC-relays, which can be found under the terminal strip. The 

various relays have the following tasks (also see the DC 

circuit diagram)

1. Starter motor relay

2. Pre-glow relay (glow plugs)

3. Fuel pump relay

Sample Picture - See wiring diagram

Fig. 6.10.1-4: DC Starter Motor

 DC Starter Motor

All Panda generators are equipped with an independent DC 

starter motor. 

1. Solenoid switch for starter motor

2. Starter motor
