6.2 Battery
Fig. 14
Danger
When working with battery acid (electro-
lyte), wear acid-resistant goggles,
gloves and apron.
The gases released by the battery are
explosive. Avoid sparks and open fires
in the vicinity of the battery.
Do not allow acids to come into contact
with skin or clothing. Wear safety
goggles.
Place no tools on the battery.
The battery is filled and charged in
accordance with DIN 43539. The battery is
fastened with clamping strips.
The batteries used are ready to be
installed and ready for service.
Replacement batteries should be of the
same type as the batteries installed
(low gassing). The replacement battery
should be unfilled and only be preloaded
so that it has to be filled with battery
acid. The battery and the acid should
have a temperature of at least +10 °C.
Proceed as follows:
* Fill up with battery acid as far as the
base of the control insert
* Leave the battery to stand for some time
* Then shake it gently
* If required, top up with acid
* Tighten sealing caps
* The battery is ready for use
* Leave for 1 hour
6.3 Filling up the fuel tank
Fig. 15
Danger
Only fill up with fuel when the screw
compressor is at a standstill.
Cleanliness is essential! Spill no fuel!
Filling up at a pump can cause static
electricity and possibly sparks.
Proceed as follows:
* Open tank lid
* Fill up tank with commercially available
branded diesel fuel, using a sieve (use
summer or winter diesel fuel depending
on outside temperatures)
* Close tank tight with tank lid
* With the Deutz engines FM1011, the
injection pump is self-ventilating. When
the tank is empty, immediately fill in fuel
to ensure that the fuel pump is always
filled with fuel. This condition may result
in starting problems.
* Close hood.
