Check the density of battery liquid with a hydrometer. The proper readings should be around 1,27 under nominal
conditions and temperature (15°C).
Pure or distilled water is used in electrolyte solution, so the water to be added into the battery must also be pure
water.
Keep the batteries clean for a better performance.
Clean the top cover of the battery before lifting it for any purpose. Add pure or distilled water up to a height 5-10
mm above plates, close and tighten the top cover. Dry the top cover and keep it clean and dry.
Check the operation range of batteries before installation, especially in terms of temperature (between -5°C and
50°C). Inappropriate selections will affect the operation, performance and lifetime of battery due to freezing or
boiling issues.
• Do not smoke or have any spark/flame around the batteries, they may be releasing
flammable gases.
• Handle batteries with care and wash your hands after touching them for protection
against acid burns.
• Wear protective clothes before changing or maintaining the batteries.
• Keep anyone unauthorized, away from the batteries and its charging system.
• Do not forget to check the charging system together with the batteries.
• Batteries should always be kept under a buffer charge. Batteries that are not
charged for a long time, may break.
5.8.Maintenance of Radiator
The radiator installed on your generator set is designed and manufactured for functioning properly for long years, if
the necessary and recommended maintenance activities are performed properly and periodically.
Here are some recommendations about the operation and maintenance of your radiator;
• The coolant liquid inside the radiator is at high pressure and temperature, so be careful when opening the cap
or any draining points.
• Do not perform any repair or maintenance activity on the radiator until it is cooled down to a safe temperature.
• Do not perform any repair or maintenance activity on the radiator while the cooler fan is running or the any
protective covers on it are removed.
• Corrosion is the very first reason for many problems seen on radiators, be sure to check it in case of any
failure.
• Be sure that there is no leakage on the radiator, any inlet/return line or any hose connections.
• Radiators should be filled and kept completely full. This will prevent any failures due to corrosion. Partially filling
radiators may cause corrosion inside the radiator. For this same reason, all the liquid must be drained if the
radiator will not be running or will be stored for a long time.
• The water to be used in a radiator, must be pure, distilled or soft for preventing corrosion. Also additive
chemicals can be used in the coolant mixture for preventing corrosion.
• If the radiator is running at a dirty and dusty ambient, then its cells may be blocked with dust, dirt, steam
or different particles. This will affect the operation, performance and the lifetime of the radiator and cause
overheating issues.
