Starting and running
Checks after running
Block the starting device when working on the
engine. If the engine starts unexpectedly, there is
a serious risk of injury.
There is always a risk of sustaining burns when
an engine is hot. Particularly hot parts are engine
manifolds, turbochargers, oil sumps, as well as
hot coolant and oil in pipes and hoses.
Check the coolant level following the first start.
Top up with coolant as necessary.
1. Check that the power supply has been cut.
2. Top up the fuel tank. Make sure that the filler
cap and the area round the filler opening are
clean to avoid contamination of the fuel.
3. If the engine is equipped with an SCR sys-
tem: Top up the reductant tank. Make sure
that the filler cap and the area round the filler
opening are clean to avoid contamination of
the reductant.
4. If there is a risk of freezing, the cooling sys-
tem must contain enough glycol. See the sec-
tion Risk of freezing
.
5. If the temperature is below 0°C (32°F): Pre-
pare for the next start by connecting the en-
gine heater (if fitted).
Transporting engines
When transporting engines or machines, the ex-
haust outlet must be protected from water and
debris. The exhaust gas aftertreatment may be
damaged if there is water or debris intrusion.
Ensure that the transport protection is in place
and remains there throughout the transport.
