1. Daily:

Checking the oil level

Note:

Before checking oil level: Leave the engine switched off for at

least 1 minute.

- The correct level is between the marks on the dipstick. Top up when the

level is at the lower mark.

- For the correct oil grade, see page 32.

Checking oil level during operation

On some engines the oil level can be checked during operation.

- Remove the oil filler cap to release the pressure in the crankcase.
- Check the level on the dipstick. Correct oil level: 10 mm below the Min.

or Max. mark.

2. Every 400 hours:

Oil change

Note:

If the engine is used for especially demanding operations,

particularly in a dusty environment or if the deposits in the

centrifugal cleaner are thicker than 20 mm: change the oil more

frequently.

- Unscrew the oil plug and drain the oil when the engine is hot.
- In certain engines the oil is pumped out by means of a bilge pump.
- Clean the magnet on the oil plug.
- Refit the oil plug and top up with oil.

3. Every 400 hours:

Cleaning the oil cleaner

(in connection with oil change)

- Clean the cover. Unscrew the nut and remove the cover.

- Lift out the rotor and wipe the outside. Unscrew the rotor cover nut

about one and a half turns.

- If the rotor nut is jammed:

Turn the rotor upside down and fasten the nut in a vice, and turn the

rotor one and a half turns counterclockwise by hand, or use an M20 nut

as illustrated.

Note:

The rotor must never be put in a vice.

- Hold the rotor and tap lightly on the rotor nut with a plastic mallet or

against the workbench, so that the rotor bowl comes loose from the

bottom plate. Never strike on the rotor directly as this may damage the

bearings.

- Unscrew the nut and remove the rotor cover.
- Remove the strainer. If the strainer has seized in the rotor bowl, pry

carefully using a screwdriver between the rotor bowl and the strainer.

- If the strainer has seized in the rotor, pry carefully between the rotor and

the strainer.

- Scrape off the deposits from the inside of the rotor cover. If there are no

deposits, this indicates that the cleaner is not working properly.

- If the deposits are thicker than 28 mm: clean more often.

Open the cover carefully. The

oil may be hot.

WARNING

- Wash all parts in diesel oil.
- Make sure the nozzles on the rotor are not blocked or damaged.
- Check that the bearings are undamaged. If they are damaged the entire

rotor must be renewed.

- Fit a new O-ring on the rotor and fit the strainer.

- Reassemble the rotor.

- Tighten the rotor nut firmly by hand.

- Check that the shaft is not loose. If it is loose, use locking compound

561 200 and torque tighten to 34 Nm using tool 98 421.

- In order to tighten the rotor shaft, it is necessary to modify socket

wrench 98 421:

- Drill out the threads from a M20 nut so that it fits on the square drive

of the socket wrench.

- Weld the nut into place.

- Refit the rotor.
- Check that it rotates easily by rotating it manually.

- Fit a new O ring on the bowl and fit the bowl.
- Screw the bowl on and tighten the lock nut to 15 Nm.

Tighten the nut carefully so as not to damage the rotor shaft, nut or cover.

Functional inspection

The rotor rotates very fast and should continue to rotate when the engine has

stopped.

- Stop the engine when it is warm.
- Listen for a whirring sound from the rotor or feel whether the cleaner

housing is vibrating.

The rotor normally continues spinning for 30-60 seconds after the engine has

stopped.
If not: dismantle and check.

4. Every 400 hours:

Renewing the oil filter

(in connection with oil change)

- Remove the old filter.
- Fit a new Scania genuine filter. Oil the seal on the filter before fitting.
- Tighten the filter by hand.

Never use tools for this. The filter could sustain damage, obstructing

circulation.

- Start the engine and check for leaks.

Important!

If the deposits in the centrifugal cleaner are more than

20 mm thick, the oil filter must be renewed more often. The

same is true for cleaning the centrifugal filter and

changing the oil.

Cooling system

5. Daily:

Checking coolant level

- Open the expansion tank filler cap and check the coolant level.
- Correct level:

(Scania plastic expansion tank)

- Cold engine:

The coolant should be level with the bottom of the

filler neck.

- Hot engine:

The coolant should be about 25 mm above the

lower edge of the filler hole.

- Other types of expansion tank according to the instructions of the fitter.
- Top up the coolant as necessary; see point 6.

Note:

When filling large amounts of coolant:

Never pour cold coolant into a hot engine. This could crack the

cylinder block and cylinder head.

Always top up with pre-mixed

coolant.

Open the cap carefully.

Water and steam can spray out.

Use a container to avoid spillage

when renewing the filter.

Dispose of used filters through

an authorised waste disposal

contractor.

Important

WARNING

Help protect our

environment!

6. Every 2,400 hours:

Checking coolant

Coolant should be checked as follows:

Check the appearance of the coolant.

Coolant with glycol only: Check the glycol content.

Coolant containing only Scania Corrosion Inhibitor: check the corrosion

inhibitor content

The composition of the coolant is described in more detail under

"Starting and running"

a)
Checking the appearance of the coolant

- Pour a small amount of coolant in a container, and check that the coolant

is pure and clear.

- If the coolant is contaminated or cloudy: Consider changing the coolant.
- Water for the coolant must be clean and free from contamination.
- Use drinking water with a pH of 6-9.

b)
Checking the glycol content

If there is a danger of freezing, use only glycol as an anti-corrosive in the

coolant.

- Cooling systems with glycol should contain at least 30% glycol by

volume to provide acceptable protection against corrosion.

- 30% glycol by volume provides protection against freezing to -16°C. If

additional protection against freezing is required, see the table on the

next page to help you calculate how much glycol you need.

We recommend only nitrite-free antifreeze glycols with the following

supplier designations:

BASF G48 or BASF D542

- Always add glycol if the glycol content drops below 30% by volume. A

glycol content above 60% by volume will not provide greater protection

against freezing.

- The table shows the temperature at which ice starts to form. The engine

will freeze and break at appreciably lower temperatures; see diagram.

- Ice forming in the coolant often causes malfunctioning without any risk

of damage. The engine should not be subjected to heavy loads when ice

starts to form.

Note:

The coolant should be changed when the cooling system is

cleaned: every 4,800 hours or at least every 5 years.

Important!

If a coolant filter is used in the cooling system it must not

contain an inhibitor.

Coolant composition:

If there is a danger of freezing:

minimum 30% glycol by

volume

maximum 60% glycol by

volume

If there is no danger of freezing:

8-12% by volume

Scania Corrosion Inhibitor

The coolant should be pre-

mixed when it is poured into the

cooling system.

Never top up with only water or

only glycol.

Ethylene glycol is highly

dangerous if imbibed and can

prove fatal.

Avoid skin contact with glycol.

The recommended glycols must

not be mixed with glycol

containing nitrite-based

corrosion inhibitor.

Risk of sludge build-up and

reduced cooling capacity.

- There is a risk of malfunctions at -30°C
- No risk of damage by freezing with a minimum

content of 30% glycol by volume

Antifreeze glycol, % by volume

c)
Checking the corrosion inhibitor

There must always be sufficient corrosion protection (inhibitor) in the coolant

to protect the cooling system against corrosion.
If there is no danger of freezing, only Scania Corrosion Inhibitor should be

used in the coolant.
The inhibitor in Scania Corrosion Inhibitor is free of nitrites.
The correct corrosion inhibitor content is 8-12% by volume.

- Topping up with 1.0% Scania Corrosion Inhibitor by volume should be

done after every 2,400 hours of operation.

- Never top up with water alone or corrosion inhibitor alone!

Fluid losses must always be replaced with pre-mixed coolant: water

+ 10% Scania Corrosion Inhibitor by volume.

Note:

The coolant should be changed when the cooling system is

cleaned: every 4,800 hours or at least every 5 years.

Changing coolant

Remove the filler cap from the expansion tank.

The coolant is drained at two points:

- the lowest point of the cylinder block, see illustration.
- the lowest point of the cooling system.

Close the cocks.

Top up with coolant through the expansion tank’s filler hole.
Mix coolant as described on page 35.

Use a container to avoid spills

when changing the coolant.

Dispose of used coolant through

an authorised waste disposal

contractor.

If a coolant filter has been fitted

it must not contain inhibitor.

Mixing with glycol or the use of

too much corrosion protection

can lead to build up of sludge

and reduced cooling capacity.

Corrosion inhibitor is highly

dangerous if ingested and can

prove fatal.

Avoid contact with the skin.

Important

WARNING
