• For loading/unloading, an adequate industrial truck shall be used.
• Depending on the transport distance (e.g. air cargo), the generator fluids (coolant, engine oil, fuel) may have to be
drained. The corresponding instructions and warnings must be fitted to the transport packaging.
5.6.2 Loading/unloading of the generator
For loading/unloading the generator, appropriate ring eye bolts shall be installed in the holes in the support rails. The
load bearing capacity of each ring eye bolt must at least equal the generator weight.
Fig. 5.6.2-1: Lifting yoke (example)An adequate lifting yoke shall be used for transport/
loading.
5.7 Special service instructions and measures for extended machine
downtimes and decommissioning
Note: The decommissioning and storage must be undertaken and
proved regarding the operation and storage situation.
Fischer Panda takes no responsibility for damages
through wrong decommissioning and storage.
Downtimes are categorised in the following groups:
• Short downtime (1 to 3 months)
• Medium term downtime / hibernation (3 to 6 months)
• Extended downtime / decommissioning (more than 6 months)
5.7.1 Instructions for the starter battery for extended downtimes
Note: Information starter batteryStarter batteries
Self-discharge of batteries is a physical and chemical
process and cannot be avoided even if the battery is
disconnected
• For extended downtimes, the battery shall be disconnected from the genset.
• Charge battery regularly. Observe instructions of the battery manufacturer.
Depending on the battery type, check the acid level before charging and refill each cell up to the marking using
distilled water as necessary.
