Starting and running
Checks after driving
Secure the starting device or disconnect a battery
cable before working on the engine. If the engine
starts unexpectedly, there is a serious risk of in-
jury.
There is always a risk of sustaining burns when
an engine is hot. Particularly hot parts are branch
pipes, turbochargers, oil sumps, and 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).
