Cleaning Coolers; Battery Care; Electrolyte; Recharging A Battery - Atlas Copco XAS 185 KD7 T4 Instruction Manual

Cleaning Coolers

Keep the coolers clean to maintain the cooling efficiency.
Front cooler baffle is removable for access by unscrewing
4 bolts.
Remove any dirt from the coolers with a
fiber brush. Never use a wire brush or metal
objects.
When cleaning by air jet, blow air through the cooler in
reverse direction of normal flow.
If the dirt is oily, wash the coolers with degreaser or a
cleansing agent.
Protect the electrical and controlling
equipment, air filters
penetration of moisture
A spray gun should preferably be used to apply the solvent
to the fins. Rinse the blocks by means of a water jet max.
100 psi at 2 inch distance after a soaking-in period. Steam
cleaning may also be applied.
To avoid damaging the coolers, angle
between waterjet and coolers should be
approx. 90º.
Never leave spilled liquids such as fuel, oil,
water and cleansing agents in or around the
compressor.

Battery Care

Before handling batteries, read the relevant
safety precautions and act accordingly.
An ASB (Service Bulletin) dealing elaborately with
batteries and due care is available on request.
If the battery is still dry, it must be activated as described
in point 4.7.1.
The battery must be in operation within 2 months from
being activated; if not, it needs to be recharged first.

ELECTROLYTE

Read the safety instructions carefully
Electrolyte in batteries is a sulphuric acid solution in
distilled water.
The solution must be made up before being introduced
into the 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.
Use a commercial automatic battery
charger
instructions.
etc. against
Apply with preference the slow charging method and
adjust the charge current according to the following rule of
thumb: battery capacity in Ah (amp hours) divided by 20
gives safe charging current in Amps.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE

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.
– Keep the terminals and clamps tight, clean, and lightly
covered petroleum jelly.

Storage

Run the compressor regularly, e.g. twice a week, until
warm.
Load and unload the compressor a few times to operate the
unloading and regulating components. Close the air outlet
valves after stopping.
If the compressor is going to be stored
without running from time to time,
protective measures must be taken as
described In a separate Service Bulletin
(ASB), which may be obtained on request.
Consult Atlas Copco.

or rebuilding task.
It guarantees that all necessary parts are replaced at the
same time which improves the uptime of the unit.
To purchase service paks contact your local Atlas Copco
