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
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.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
•
Keep the battery clean and dry.
•
Keep the electrolyte level above the plates or at the
indicated level. Level above plates at least 10 mm
(0.4 in) to 15 mm (0.6 in). Top up with distilled water
only.
•
Keep the terminals and clamps tight, clean, and
lightly covered with petroleum jelly.

When a compressor element is due for overhaul, it needs
to be done by Atlas Copco. This guarantees the use of
genuine parts and correct tools with care and precision.
