Ventilation screw thermostat housing
The ventilation screw on the thermostat
housing should occasionally be opened
for control purposes. Standing machinery
should principally carry out ventilating.

Water-cooled exhaust manifold
The manifold is cooled by means of the
internal cooling system (freshwater). The
cooling water filler necks on the casing of
the manifold may not be opened. These
cooling water necks are only required to fill
the motor with cooling water in cases of
repair. The normal cooling water controls
may only be carried out at the external
expansion tank.

A.3.5 Components of the fuel system
External fuel pump
The Panda generator is always supplied
with an external, electrical (12 V of DC) fuel
pump. The fuel pump must be always
installed in the proximity of the tank. The
electrical connections with the lead plan-
ned for it are before-installed at the gene-
rator. Since the suction height and the
supply pressure are limited, it can be
sometimes possible that for reinforcement
a second pump must be installed.
