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.
7.10.2 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. 7.10.2-1: 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).

7.11 Ventilating the fuel system
Normally, the fuel system is designed to ventilate air itself i.e. as soon as the electric starter motor starts operation
the fuel pump starts working and the fuel system will be de-aerated after some time automatically. It is nevertheless
essential to ventilate the system as follows prior to the first operation (as all hoses are empty):
Start the fuel pump
Note:
The external fuel pump can be started manual by an option in
the iControl2 panel. See iControl2 manual for details.
Ventilation Screw
4.) Open the ventilation screw located at the fuel solenoid valve. The
„START“ button must continue to be pressed, whilst opening the screw. A
large cloth or Kleenex tissue must be laid beneath the connection to prevent
escaping fuel running into the capsule. If the fuel runs out without air bub-
bles, then the ventilation screw can be closed. Only then may the „START“
button be released.
5.) Switch the panel „OFF“.
This procedure must be repeated several times, until fuel
(nonporously) withdraws perfectly at the ventilation
screw.
Injection nozzles
Pressing the starter button can now start the machine. The machine should
start after a short period.
