AIR FILTER ENGINE/COMPRESSOR
CLEANING THE DUST TRAP
To remove dust from the dust trap squeeze the
vacuator valve (5) several times.
CLEANING COOLERS
Keep the coolers clean to maintain the cooling
efficiency. Open the hood and clean the coolers with
a fibre brush and compressed air.
Steam cleaning in combination with a cleansing agent
may be applied.
BATTERY
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.
PERIODIC BATTERY SERVICE
Always keep the batteries clean and dry.
Refill batteries with distilled water only. Using tap
or mineral water, acid, or electrolyte will alter the
electrolyte concentration of the battery, affecting
its performance.
Corroded terminals can reduce battery
performance or prevent the battery from starting.
To prevent the battery terminals from corroding,
clean them with a wire brush and apply petroleum
jelly on them.
Do not fast charge a battery as it can cause
overheating. Stop charging the battery if its
temperature exceeds 50°C (122°F). Such high
temperatures reduce battery performance.
To ensure constant battery performance, check the
output of the alternator to prevent over or under
charging.
To check its capacity, track the voltage drop across
the battery while starting the starter motor.
If doubtful conditions are noticed or malfunctions
arise, keep in mind that the cause may be in the
electrical system, e.g. loose terminals, voltage
regulator maladjusted, poor performance of
compressor, etc.

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°.
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.
Use a commercial automatic battery
charger in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
