Start-up Report – Warranty When the start-up report has been filled in and sent to Scania, you have a 1-year warranty from the date of entry into service. Fill in the particulars below as well. This can make things easier if you need to contact a workshop for example.
• Always contact an authorised Scania work- shop. The information in this manual was correct at the time of going to press. Scania reserves the right to make alterations without prior notice. Note: Always use Scania spare parts for inspection and repair.
Power classes Power classes Scania supplies engines in 4 different power classes: ICFN – continuous operation: Intended for un- limited number of operational hours per year at a total load factor of 100%. IFN – periodic operation: Intended for periodic operation, where full power is available 1 h/3 h.
Environment and safety Environment and safety Environmental responsibility Scania develops and produces engines that are as environmentally-friendly as possible. Scania has made major investments in the reduction of harmful exhaust emissions in order to fulfil the environmental requirements in force in almost every market.
Example: IMPORTANT! For Scania to guarantee that the engine corre- sponds to its certified configuration, and take re- sponsibility for any damage and injuries that occur, inspection must be carried out as above.
External power supplies to extra equip- ment on the engine must also be disconnected. IMPORTANT! 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.
Always wear protective goggles when testing in- jectors. Fuel escaping at high pressure can pene- trate tissues and cause serious injury. 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.
The safety precautions on the following pages must be observed. IMPORTANT! For Scania to guarantee that the engine corre- sponds to its certified configuration, and take re- sponsibility for any damage and injuries that occur, inspection must be carried out as above.
Starting and running Starting the engine For environmental reasons the Scania engine has been developed to be started with a low fuel feed. Using unnecessarily large amounts of fuel when starting the engine always results in emissions of unburnt fuel.
Lubrication system Lubrication system Oil grade Scania LDF stands for the Scania Long Drain Field test standard. Scania LDF oils have been carefully selected after extensive testing. The ap- proval is only granted to the highest quality en- gine oils available on the market.
Lubrication system Oil analysis To be able to extend the oil change intervals us- ing an oil analysis, Scania LDF-2 and LDF-3 oils must be used. Oil companies can offer analysis of the engine oil. The following conditions must remain fulfilled when the oil is changed.
The oil filler cap must be clearly marked with a label showing the top-up oil grade. If the label is missing or if the engine oil grade is changed, a new label must be fitted. The illustration shows the label for oil grade Scania LDF-2. Parts Oil grade Colour Part No.
WARNING! Ethylene glycol can be fatal if ingested and can cause skin irritation and eye damage. The coolant recommended by Scania is a mix- ture of water with antifreeze and corrosion inhib- itor (ethylene glycol). The coolant has several characteristics which are important for the oper- ation of the cooling system: •...
Cooling system Antifreeze and corrosion inhibitor con- centration table 35% by volume of Scania antifreeze provides sufficient protection against corrosion. Example: The total volume of the cooling system is 40 litres in this example. The measured concentration of ethylene gly- col is 35% by volume (freezing point -21 °C).
Cooling system Antifreeze and corrosion inhibitor con- centration table 35% by volume of Scania antifreeze provides sufficient protection against corrosion. Example: The total volume of the cooling system is 10.6 US gallons in this example. The measured concentration of ethylene gly- col is 35% by volume (freezing point -6°F).
Cooling system Checking coolant level The following instructions apply to Scania ex- pansion tanks. For other types of expansion tanks, follow the manufacturer's instructions. WARNING! Never open the coolant filler cap when the en- gine is hot. Hot coolant and steam may spray out and cause burns.
Scania, may be used in Scania engines. Products that do not satisfy the requirements for use in a Scania en- gine can result in faults in and damage to the cooling system.
Air cleaner Filter with a non-renewable element Note: Scania recommends that the filter should be re- newed rather than cleaned. • The filter may be cleaned a maximum of 3 times. Mark the filter after each time it has been cleaned.
The requirements and testing standards for the most important characteristics are described in the Workshop Manual which can be ordered from Scania dealers or directly from Scania. The fuel must conform to EU standard EN590. The table shows some of the key properties.
