Checks to be carried out
before starting the machine
Engine oil
Checking level and adding engine oil
The engine oil level can be assessed by using the dip-
stick (1) common to all engines. It can be accessed
through the relevant side doors of the lighting tower.
Make sure that the oil level is always between the min
and max levels indicated on the dip-stick. Add oil if
necessary.
Engine oil specifications
High-quality, mineral, hydraulic or synthesized
hydrocarbon oil with rust and oxidation inhibitors,
anti-foam and anti-wear properties is recommended.
The viscosity grade should correspond to the ambient
temperature and ISO 3448, as follows.
Specifications PAROIL
PAROIL from Atlas Copco is the ONLY oil tested
and approved for use in all engines built into Atlas
Copco compressors and generators.
Extensive laboratory and field endurance tests on
Atlas Copco equipment have proven PAROIL to
match all lubrication demands in varied conditions. It
meets stringent quality control specifications to
ensure your equipment will run smoothly and
reliably.
The quality lubricant additives in PAROIL allow for
extended oil change intervals without any loss in
performance or longevity.
PAROIL provides wear protection under extreme
conditions. Powerful oxidation resistance, high
chemical stability and rust- inhibiting additives help
reduce corrosion, even within engines left idle for
extended periods.
PAROIL contains high quality anti-oxidants to
control deposits, sludge and contaminants that tend to
build up under very high temperatures.
PAROIL's detergent additives keep sludge forming
particles in a fine suspension instead of allowing them
to clog your filter and accumulate in the valve/rocker
cover area.
PAROIL releases excess heat efficiently, whilst
maintaining excellent bore-polish protection to limit
oil consumption.
PAROIL has an excellent Total Base Number (TBN)
retention and more alkalinity to control acid
formation.
PAROIL prevents Soot build-up.
PAROIL is optimized for the latest low emission
EURO -3 & -2, EPA TIER II & III engines running on
low sulphur diesel for lower oil and fuel consumption.
It is strongly recommended to use
Atlas Copco branded lubrication oils.
