The generator enables you to use AC accessories without being attached to shore power. A
Fischer Panda™ model 4200, capable of producing 4200 peak watts (35 amps) and a constant
3800 watts (31.6 amps) is installed on your boat. A separate 13 gallon diesel tank located in the
aft rigging area supplies fuel to the diesel generator. The diesel fuel level may be monitor using
the gauge located near the generator control panel.

Generator Control Panel

The generator control panel is located in the cabin at the bottom of the AC/DC panel. To learn
more about how to operate this panel, 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.

Do not leave the generator seacock open while the boat is in motion and the generator is off. You
can use the generator while the boat is moving. However, when the generator is shut down the
intake seacock should be closed immediately. If the seacock remains open, excessive seawater may
be forced into the generator cooling system causing water to back up into the exhaust manifold.
