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 45.
Out of consideration for our common environment, your Scania engine has
been designed to use less fuel when starting. Using unnecessarily large
amounts of fuel when starting the engine always results in emissions of
unburnt fuel.
- Open the fuel cock, if fitted.
- Disengage the engine.
- Engines with battery master switch: Switch on the power by means of
the battery master switch.
- Start the engine with the key on the control panel (SCP).
- S6: All lamps should go out after approximately 2 seconds when starting
the engine.
Block the starting device when
working on the engine.
If the engine starts accidentally,
there is a
SERIOUS RISK OF INJURY.
Only start the engine in a well
ventilated area.
If it is run in a enclosed space,
there should be an effective
device to draw off exhaust gases
and crankcase gases.
Never use starter spray or
similar agents to help start the
engine.
An explosion may occur in the
intake manifold with a risk of
personal injury.
