CHECKS BEFORE RUNNING
Before running, "Daily maintenance" as described in the maintenance
schedule should be carried out, see page 27.
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 40).
Out of consideration for our common environment, your new Scania engine
has been designed to use a smaller amount of fuel when starting. Using
unnecessarily large amounts of fuel when starting the engine always results in
the discharge of unburnt fuel.
- Open the fuel cock, if fitted.
- Declutch the engine (not engines with fixed clutch, e.g. generator sets).
- Engines with battery master switch: Switch on the power by means of
the battery master switch.
- DEC2: If the main indicator lamp comes on or flashes when the power is
turned on, this indicates the presence of a fault in the control system or
engine which must be found and rectified before the engine is started.
See page 16.
- Start the engine by means of the starter button or starter key.
Starting at low temperatures
Local environmental requirements must be complied with. Starting aids,
engine heaters and/or flame start devices should be used to avoid starting
problems and white smoke.
To limit white smoke, the engine should be run at low speed and under
moderate load. Avoid running it longer than necessary at idling speed.
Start the engine only 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 starting spray or
similar to help you start the
engine.
An explosion may occur in the
intake manifold with a risk of
personal injury.
