At temperatures below 0°C:
Note: Only use starting aids recommended by Scania.
- The starter motor may only be used for 30 seconds at a time. After that
time it must rest for 2 minutes.
If the engine has flame start:
- Operating flame start without timer relay: Press the control button,
which also acts as a pre-glow button (maximum 20 seconds). The glow
plug continues to glow as long as this button is depressed after the
engine has started. Maximum time is 5 minutes.
- Operating flame start with timer relay: Press the pre-glow button
(maximum 20 seconds). Release it when the engine starts. The timer
relay keeps the glow plug glowing for 5 minutes. If a shorter glow time
is required, press the release button. The key must be set to the
0 position if the start attempt fails.
Note: If the engine is equipped with an INTERLOCK switch, this
switch should be depressed and held down until the oil pressure
has reached a sufficiently high level.
- Generator sets should be operated under load immediately after starting
to avoid the risk of white smoke. This applies in particular to engines
that have been installed without aids for heating or applying a basic
load.
- Warm up the engine with a moderate load. A light load on a cold engine
gives better combustion and faster heating than warming up with no
load.
The starter motor may only be
connected for a maximum of
30 seconds.
There is risk of overheating.
Allow the engine to rest for
2 minutes between each
attempt to start it.
