The generator option enables you to use AC accessories without being attached to shore
power. The diesel generator is a Fischer Panda™ 8 Mini, capable of producing 7500 peak watts**
(62 amps) and a constant 6800 watts* (55.8 amps). The generator diesel fuel is supplied by a
separate tank located in the aft rigging area. See
“Generator Layout” on page 8–36
the generator system.
Generator Control Panel
The generator control panel is located in the cabin at the bottom of the AC/DC panel. This
panel is equipped with some monitoring functions. To learn more about these monitoring
functions, reference the Fischer Panda owner’s manual included in your owner’s packet.
Amperage Requirements
The generator provides sufficient power to operate most accessories at the same time. A list of
amperage requirements for all AC accessories is provided below. Use the amperage meters and
volt meter on the AC panel to properly manage the load on the generator. The generator is capable
of handling momentary peaks above its rated capacity. These peaks are normally related to the
start-up of each accessory. In addition to the factory installed appliances, you should know the
amperage requirements of any household objects you bring on board.
