To ensure protection against corrosion, cavitation and
formation of deposits, the concentration of the
additives in the coolant must be kept between certain
limits, as stated by the manufacturer's guidelines.
Topping up the coolant with water only, changes the
concentration and is therefore not allowed.
Liquid-cooled engines are factory-filled with this
type of coolant mixture.
Starting battery
– Always wear protective gloves and goggles when
handling the battery - battery fluid contains
sulphuric acid that can cause burns. If your skin or
your clothes come in contact with the battery
fluid, rinse immediately with plenty of water. If
even a tiny quantity is swallowed, seek immediate
medical help.
– ALWAYS connect the positive (+) terminal first
and the negative (-) terminal second.
– Regularly check that the battery fluid is above the
recommended level. If necessary, add distilled
water.
– Always remove the battery and disconnect the
terminals before carrying out any operation
(charging or refilling).
– The machine must be placed on even ground both
when working and when idle.
– The maximum permissible slope is 30° on all 4
sides.
– Atlas Copco accepts no responsibility for any
damage to the lighting tower caused by spilling of
the battery fluid.
Room ventilation
If the machine is operated in a closed environment,
make sure that there is enough ventilation to remove
the exhaust gases from the room where the engine is
running; also ensure that the exhaust gases are
discharged at a distance that will not allow them to be
drawn back into the engine. It may be necessary to
provide suitable means for removing the exhaust
gases (e.g. leak-proof pipes).
Place the machine at least at 1m from each wall and
the ceiling and provide suitable openings to allow
sufficient air flow for adequate cooling and good
engine combustion.

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.
