COOLANT
PARCOOL EG
PARCOOL EG is a ready to use Ethylene Glycol
based coolant, premixed in an optimum 50/50
dilution ratio, for antifreeze protection guaranteed to
-40°C (-40°F).
For ordering numbers refer to the spare parts list.
Liquid-cooled engines are factory-filled with this
type of coolant mixture.
COOLANT LEVEL CHECK
Check the coolant level at the level gauge on the
radiator. If necessary top up with coolant. See
section Topping up of coolant.
Low coolant level can lead to engine overheating,
and will eventually result in permanent engine
damage.
TOPPING UP OF COOLANT
Always top-up with PARCOOL EG.
Topping up the coolant with water only, changes
the concentration of additives and is therefore not
allowed.
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
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. Never overfill, as this will
cause poor performance and excessive corrosion.
If doubtful conditions are noticed or malfunctions
arise, keep in mind that the cause may be in the
electical system, e.g.loose terminals, voltage
regulator maladjusted, poor performance of
compressor, etc...
It is strongly recommended to use Atlas
Copco branded coolant.
Never mix different coolants and mix the
coolant components outside the cooling
system.
Never remove the cooling system filler
cap while coolant is hot.
The system may be under pressure.
Remove the cap slowly and only when
coolant is at ambient temperature. A
sudden release of pressure from a heated
cooling system can result in personal
injury from the splash of hot coolant.
Use a commercial automatic battery
charger in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
