REPLACING THE COOLANT
Drain
Completely drain the entire cooling system.
Used coolant must be disposed or recycled in
accordance with laws and local regulations.
Flush
Flush twice with clean water. Used coolant must
be disposed or recycled in accordance with laws
and local regulations.
From the Atlas Copco Instruction book, determine
the amount of PARCOOL EG required and pour
into the radiator top tank.
It should be clearly understood that the risk for
contamination is reduced in case of proper
cleaning.
In case a certain content of ‘other’ coolant
remains in the system, the coolant with the lowest
properties influences the quality of the ‘mixed’
coolant.
Fill
To assure proper operation and the release of
trapped air, run the engine until normal engine
operation temperature is reached. Turn off the
engine and allow to cool.
Recheck coolant level and add coolant mixture if
necessary.
CLEANING COOLERS
Keep the coolers clean to maintain the cooling
efficiency.
Then clean by air jet in reverse direction of normal
flow.
Steam cleaning in combination with a cleansing agent
may be applied.
Close the service door(s).
BATTERY CARE
If the battery is still dry, it must be activated as
described in section Activating a dry-charged
battery.
The battery must be in operation within 2 months
from being activated; if not, it needs to be recharged
first.
In case of a mix of different coolant
products this type of measurement
might provide incorrect values.
Remove any dirt from the coolers with a
fibre brush. Never use a wire brush or
metal objects.
To avoid damaging the coolers, angle
between jet and coolers should be
approx. 90 °.
(do not use jet at max. power)
Protect the electrical and controlling
equipment, air filters, etc. against
penetration of moisture.
Never leave spilled liquids such as fuel,
oil, water and cleansing agents in or
around the compressor.
Caution: do not top off when the engine
is hot.
Before handling batteries, read the
relevant safety precautions and act
accordingly.
