6.2 Battery

Danger
When working with battery acid
(electrolyte), 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
*
Leave for 1 hour
* The battery is ready for use

6.3 Filling up the fuel tank
Fig. 21
1 Tank lid
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 (1)
*
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 M2011, 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.
Bleeding
Danger
To avoid accidents, never bleed the
fuel system with the engine in hot
condition. Danger of fire!
Bleeding of the fuel system is described
in the operating manual for the engine. It
is necessary in the following cases:
*
maintenance work on the fuel system
(priming pump, filter with water
separator, piping)
* failure of the engine due to lack of fuel
* before restarting after prolonged
periods of non-use.
Note
The fuel tank should always be filled up in
good time. For outside temperatures
below 0 °C, use only winter diesel fuel.
More information on fuel quality, see
engine operating manual.
For outside temperatures below 0 °C,
observe the operating manual of the
engine manufacturer for winter operation.
You can reduce the occurrence of
condensation in the fuel tank considerably
by filling it up in good time. This also
prevents downtimes and starting problems
that can occur when the fuel tank is run
dry.
6.4 Fuel water separator

The condensate must be drained out of
the tank every day or at every filling
operation!
6.5 Checking the air filter
maintenance display
Fig. 23
The air filter element must be replaced
when the red section of the servicing
indicator (2) is fully visible (see
Section 9.5.5, "Air filter replacement")
Empty the dust emission valve by
pressing together the emission slot (1) in
the direction of the arrow.
Note
Clean the emission slot from time to time.
