Generator operation instruction 9. Generator operation instruction 9.1 Personal requirements Only instructed persons are allowed to run the generator. Instructed Persons has read the manual of the generator and all ancillary components and external equipment. He must be acquaint with the specific risks and safety instructions.
It is harmless for the generator to deliver full nominal power for 2-3 hours. The hole conception of the Fischer Panda generator make sure, that the full power operation at extreme condition will not increase the engine temperatures over. Please note that the emissions of the generator also increase at full power operation.
9.2.5 Operating control system on the Fischer Panda generator Fischer Panda generators are equipped with various sensors/temperatures switches. The combustion engine is further equipped with a oil pressure control switch, which switches the motor off, if the oil pressure sinks to a particu- lar level.
The maintenance described here can be carried out by the operator unless otherwise indicated. Further maintenance work may only be carried out by specially trained specialist personnel or authorized repairers (Fischer Panda Service Points). This is especially true for work on the valve setting, diesel injection system and for engine repair.
