Environment and safety
Batteries
The batteries contain highly corrosive sulphuric
acid. Take care to protect your eyes, skin and
clothes when charging or handling batteries.
Wear protective gloves and goggles.
If sulphuric acid comes in contact with the skin:
Wash with soap and plenty of water. If it gets in
your eyes: Rinse immediately with plenty of wa-
ter and seek medical attention.
Always hand in used batteries to an authorised
waste disposal contractor.
Electrical system
The engine must be switched off and the power
disconnected using the master switch or battery
master switch before working on the electrical
system. External power supplies to extra equip-
ment on the engine must also be disconnected.
Scania recommends that Scania spare parts are
used for the fuel and electrical systems. Scania
spare parts are designed to minimise the risk of
fire and explosion.
Electric welding
When carrying out welding work on and near the
engine, disconnect the battery and alternator
leads. Pull out the multi-pin connector for the en-
gine control unit as well.
Connect the welding clamp close to the compo-
nent to be welded. The welding clamp must not
be connected to the engine, or so that the current
can cross a bearing.
When welding is finished:
1.
Connect the alternator and control unit ca-
bles first.
2.
Then connect the batteries.
Lubrication system
Hot oil can cause burns and skin irritation. Wear
protective gloves and goggles when changing
hot oil.
Make sure that there is no pressure in the lubri-
cation system before starting work on it.
The oil filler cap must always be in place when
starting and running the engine to prevent oil be-
ing ejected.
Always hand in used oil to an authorised waste
disposal contractor.
