5.5.1.5 Periodic battery service
– Keep the battery clean and dry.
– Keep the electrolyte level at 10 to 15 mm above
the plates or at the indicated level; top up with
distilled water only. Never overfill, as this will
cause poor performance and excessive corrosion.
– Record the quantity of distilled water added.
– Keep the terminals and clamps tight, clean, and
lightly covered with petroleum jelly.
– Carry out periodic condition tests. Test intervals
of 1 to 3 months, depending on climate and
operating conditions, are recommended.
– If doubtful conditions are noticed or malfunctions
arise, keep in mind that the cause may be in the
electrical system, e.g. loose terminals, voltage
regulator maladjusted, poor performance of
generator, etc...
5.5.2 Replacing the fuel filters
– Loosen the hose clamps and remove them from
the pre filter (1).
– Unscrew the filter element (2) from the adapter
head.
– Clean the adapter head sealing surface.
– Lightly oil the gasket of the new filter element and
screw the latter onto the header until the gasket is
properly seated, then tighten with both hands.
– Reconnect the hoses on the pre filter (1) and
tighten the clamps.
– Check for fuel leaks once the engine has been
restarted.
Never charge the battery or refill
the fluid when the battery is still
installed in the machine! Possible
spillage could damage vital parts of
the generating set.
Atlas Copco accepts no
responsibility for any damage to the
light tower caused by spilling of the
battery fluid.
