Chapter 8: Freedom 375
Freshwater Washdown
To operate the freshwater washdown system, place the “Freshwater” switch on the DC panel in
the “on” position. This system will now be pressurized at the freshwater outlets. A hose with a spray
nozzle attached may be used intermittently without turning the switch off in the same fashion as a
garden hose with a nozzle. The freshwater pump has an internal pressurization switch that will
maintain water pressure as needed until the switch is turned off.
Generator
The generator enables you to use AC powered accessories without being attached to shore
power. The diesel generator is a Fischer Panda™ 8 Mini, capable of producing 7500 peak watts**
(62A) and a constant 6800 watts* (55.8A). The generator diesel fuel is supplied by a separate tank
located in the aft rigging compartment.
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 amp 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.
