4. The air vent screw can be screwed in again, as soon as fuel runs out without bubbles. Then release the
depressing the failure bypass switch.
5. Starting the generator
Now the generator can be started by pushing the „START“-button. The generator should start after a short while.
One of the pipe union nuts of an injection hose has to be unscrewed, should the unit not start; then try to restart the
generator. After the generator has started, the pipe union nut has to be tightened again.
Main power switch „OFF“

Not installed at all models!
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. The negative
cable (-) of the battery is attached underneath the starter motor at the engine mount.
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
batteries in a row)
