CHECKS BEFORE RUNNING
Before running, ”Daily maintenance” as described in the maintenance sched-
ule should be carried out, see page 13.
STARTING THE ENGINE
If the fuel tank has been run dry or if the engine has not been used for a long
time, bleed the fuel system, see page 26.
Out of consideration to our common environment, your new Scania engine
has been designed to be started with less fuel. Unnecessarily large fuel supply
at start will always result in the release of uncombusted fuel.
- Engines with mechanical stop control: Set the stop control to operating
position.
- Open fuel valve (if fitted).
- Declutch the engine (does not apply to engines with a fixed clutch, e.g.
gensets).
- Engines with battery master switch: Switch on the power using the bat-
tery master switch.
- Set the speed control to raised idling. (Does not apply to gensets)
- Start the engine.
Important!A maximum of 3 start attempts per minute may be made when
the stop solenoid is activated at start. The timer module can be
damaged resulting in the loss of the stop feature.
Starting at low temperatures
Local environmental requirements should be complied with. Start aids,
engine heater and/or flame start should be used to avoid starting problems
and white smoke.
WARNING
Block the starter device
when working on the engine.
If the engine starts out of
control, there is a
SERIOUS RISK OF
INJURY
