  • Page 13: Safety Instructions - Safety First

    Safety instructions - Safety first! Safe operation Careful operation is your best assurance against an accident. Read and understand this manual carefully before operating the engine. All operators, no matter how much experience they may have, should read this and other related manuals befor operating the generator or any equipment atta- ched to it.
  • Page 14 Safe handling of fuel and lubricants - Keep away from fire Always stop the generator befor refueling and/or lubrivating. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in your work area. Fuel is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Refuel at a well ventilated and open place.
  • Page 15 Cautions against burns and battery explosion To avoid burns, be cautious of hot components, e.g. muffler, muffler cover, radiator, hoses, engine body, coolants, engine oil, ect. during operation and after the engine has been shut down. Coo- lant system can be under pressure, Open the coolant system only, when the generator is colled down.
  • Page 16: Warning And Caution Labels

    Conducting safety checks and maintenance Disconnect the battery from the generator before conducting service. Put a „DO NOT OPERATE“ tag on the remote control panel to avoid accidental starting. Disconnect any automatic starter device, e.g. battery monitor to prevent automatic starting. To avoid sparks from an accidental short circuit always disconnect the battery´s ground cable (-) first and connect it last.
  • Page 17 Safety Instructions concerning operating the generator The electrical installations may only be carried out by trained and qualified personnel! The generator must not be taken into use with the cover removed. If the generator is being installed without a sound insulation capsule, then make sure, that all rotating parts (belt-pulley, belts etc) are covered and protected so that there is no dan- ger to life and body! If a sound insulation covering will be produced at the place of installation, then well-placed...

  • Page 70: Exhaust / Water Separator

    Installation Instructions B.4.2 Exhaust / water separator The exhaust/water separator In order to reduce the noise level of the generator unit to a minimum, an optional exhaust outlet muffler mounted next to the thru-hull fitting can be installed. Additionally there is component at Fischer Panda, which exercise both functions of a "exhaust goose neck", and the water separa- tion.
  • Page 71: Installation Exhaust/Water Separator

    Installation Instructions B.4.3 Installation exhaust/water separator If the exhaust/water separator was sufficiently highly installed, a goose neck is no longer neces- sary. The exhaust/water separator fulfills the same function. If the "Supersilent" exhaust system were installed correctly, the generator will not disturb your boat neighbour. The exhaust noise should be nearly inaudible.

Fig. C.4-2: Air filter element If no change of the cooling water level can be determined, the generator is started for 5 minutes. Afterwards repeat the de-aeration two - three times. It is meaningful to repeat the de-aeration procedure also after some days again to guarantee that in the system remained bubbles are removed.

  • Page 92: Monitoring The Generator Voltage

    Generator Failure Overloading the Generator with Electric Motors With the operation of electric motors it must be considered that these take up a multiple of their rated output as starting current (six to tenfold). If the power of the generator for the engine is not sufficient, the voltage in the generator breaks down after switching on the engine.

    Generator Failure Re-connect the connections if the electrical supply lines in the AC-control box were also be dis- connected. The generator can’t be damaged by an overload because the winding is overload- and short-cir- cuit safety. But damages are possible in the periphery. Especially connected loads are endange- red because a lower voltage can damage them by order.

    Generator Failure D.3.2 Checking the capacitor If the capacitors are to be checked, it is to be made certain that the capacitors will be discharged before touching. Already a visual check can give informa- tion on whether the capacitors are defec- tive: - Leaks dielectric? - did the capacitor became longer?

    Generator Failure D.3.3 Checking the generator voltage In order to test, whether the fixed winding produces enough voltage, proceed in such a way: 1. Guarantee that the connection to the electrical system is interrupted. 2. Remove all conductions in the power terminal box of the generator. 3.

    Generator Failure D.3.5 Checking the coil(s) to short-circuit In order to check the coils for short-circuit, first all lines, which lead to the electrical system, must be interrupted. This happens on the power terminal box of the generator or, if available, in the electrical system junction box.
