4.7.1 Electrolyte
ùù Read the safety instructions carefully
Electrolyte in batteries is a sulphuric acid solution in distilled
water.
The solution must be made up before being introduced into the
battery.
4.7.2 Recharging A Battery
Before and after charging a battery, always check the
electrolyte level in each cell; if required, top up with distilled
water only. When charging batteries, each cell must be open,
i.e. plugs and/or cover removed.
+ Use a commercial automatic battery charger
according to manufacturers instructions.
Apply with preference the slow charging method and adjust
the charge current according to the following rule of thumb:
battery capacity in Ah divided by 20 gives safe charging
current in Amp.
4.7.3 Battery Maintenance
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.
- Keep the terminals and clamps tight, clean, and lightely
covered petroleum jelly.
4.8 Storage
Run the compressor regularly, e.g. twice a week, until warm.
Load and unload the compressor a few times to operate the
unloading and regulating components. Close the air outlet
valves after stopping.
+ If the compressor is going to be stored without
running from time to time, protective measures
must be taken as described In a separate Service
Bulletin (ASB), which may be obtained on request.
Consult Atlas Copco.
