Environment and safety
Lubrication system
WARNING!
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.
Make sure that the oil filler cover is fitted when
starting and running in order to avoid oil escap-
ing.
Environment
Used oil must be disposed of as specified in na-
tional and international laws and regulations.
Cooling system
WARNING!
Never open the coolant filler cap when the en-
gine is hot. Hot coolant and steam may spray out
and cause burns. If the cap has to be opened do it
slowly to release the pressure before removing
the cap. Wear protective gloves as the coolant is
still very hot.
Avoid skin contact with coolant as this may
cause irritation to the skin. Wear eye protection
and gloves when handling coolant.
Ethylene glycol can be fatal if ingested.
Environment
Used coolant must be disposed of as specified in
national and international laws and regulations.
Fuel system
WARNING!
Maintenance and repairs of injection equipment
are to be carried out by an authorised Scania
workshop.
Always use Scania spare parts for the fuel and
electrical systems. Scania spare parts are de-
signed to minimise the risk of fire and explosion.
Environment
Use a suitable container. The fuel collected must
be disposed of as specified in national and inter-
national laws and regulations.
SCR system
IMPORTANT!
Cleanliness is very important when working on
the reductant circuit. Clean thoroughly around
all parts to be dismantled to prevent dirt from en-
tering the system.
When working on the SCR system, the reductant
connections may only be lubricated with soapy
water or with distilled water with a 3% urea mix-
ture. Any other types of lubricants may block
and damage the components in the SCR system.
Reductant causes certain metals to corrode. Al-
ways rinse away reductant spillage on connec-
tions and other parts with lukewarm water to
prevent corrosion. If reductant seeps into electri-
cal connections or electrical cables, these must
be renewed.
