At temperatures below 0 °C:
Note! Use only start aids recommended by Scania.
- The starter motor may only be used for 30 seconds, after which it must
rest for 2 minutes.
If the engine has flame start:
- Operating flame start without timer relay: Press the control button
which also acts as a pre-glow button (max. 20 s). The glow plug contin-
ues to glow as long as the button is held down after the engine is started.
Max. time is 5 minutes.
- Operating flame start with timer relay: Press the pre-glow button (max.
20 s). Release the pre-glow button after the engine starts. The timer
relay keeps the glow plug working for 5 minutes. If a shorter on-time is
required, press the release button. The key must be set to 0 of the start
attempt fails.
Note! If the engine is equipped with an INTERLOCK switch, this
should be held depressed until sufficient oil pressure has been
achieved. If the INTERLOCK switch is released too early, the
engine will stop.
- Gensets should be placed under load directly after start to avoid the risk
of white smoke. This applies especially to engines which are installed
without heating aids or addition of base load.
- Set the appropriate idle speed before the engine reaches 1,000 rpm (does
not apply to gensets).
- Run the engine until warm with a light load. A light load on a cold
engine gives better combustion and faster heating than warming up with
no load.
