Checks before first start
Before the engine is started for the first time, car-
ry out the maintenance items listed under First
start in the maintenance schedule. Check the fol-
lowing:
• Oil level.
• Coolant.
• Fuel level.
2
• Fluid level in batteries.
• State of battery charge.
• Condition of the drive belt.
• Level in the reductant tank, if the engine is
equipped with an SCR system.
See also Maintenance interval.
IMPORTANT!
Running the engine without reductant in the re-

ductant tank violates emissions legislation and
will damage the SCR system.
Reductant tank
Reductant tanks come in five different sizes. The
volumes indicated for each tank are filling vol-
umes.
1. 38 litres (10 US gallons).
4
2. 60 litres (15.8 US gallons).
3. 45 litres (11.9 US gallons).
4. 63 litres (16.6 US gallons).
5. 70 litres (18.5 US gallons).
A filler filter with magnet is fitted in the reduct-
ant tank to prevent the reductant from becoming
contaminated when topping up. It is used when
refuelling at a filling station. A filler filter with-
out a magnet is also supplied for use when filling
manually.

Starting and running
Reductant pump
When the reductant pump is new, the check
valves may need to be slackened.
IMPORTANT!
Blow the reductant pump suction nipple with
compressed air (approx. 6 bar/87 psi) for at least
3 seconds before starting the engine for the first
time.
Start the reductant pump immediately after the
reductant tank has been filled for the first time.

Checks before running
Carry out daily maintenance as described in the
maintenance schedule prior to operation. See
Maintenance interval.

Starting and running
Starting the engine
WARNING!
Never use starter gas or similar agents to help
start the engine. This can cause an explosion in
the intake manifold and possible injury.
Only start the engine in a well ventilated area.
When the engine is run in an enclosed space,
there must be effective devices to extract exhaust
gases and crankcase gases.
IMPORTANT!
The starter motor must only be cranked twice for
30 seconds at a time. After that, it must rest for at
least 5 minutes before the next attempt to start it.
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.
1. Open any fuel cock.
2. Disengage the engine.
3. If the engine has a battery master switch:
Connect the power using the battery master
switch.
4. Start 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 the section Bleeding the fuel system.
25
Starting and running
Starting at low temperatures and at
high altitudes
Take the local environmental requirements into
account. Use a fuel heater and engine heater to
avoid starting problems and white smoke.
Scania recommends that an engine heater should
be used if the engine will be used at temperatures
below -10°C (14°F) or at an altitude of more than
2,000 metres.
A low engine speed and a moderate load on a
cold engine limits white smoke, gives better
combustion and warms up the engine more
quickly than warming it up with no load.
Avoid running it longer than necessary at idling
speed.
Running
Check instruments and warning lamps at regular
intervals.
Engine speed range
The engine operating speed range is between low
idling and the nominal engine speed. The nomi-
nal engine speed is indicated on the engine data
plate. Low idling can be set between 500 and 975
rpm.
A slightly higher engine speed than the nominal
engine speed may occur at low or negative load.
Driving at high altitude
When driving at high altitudes engine power is
reduced automatically due to the lower oxygen
content in the air. It is then not possible to run the
engine at maximum power.
Note:
Driving at an altitude higher than 4,000 metres
above sea level is only permitted if it has first
been approved by Scania.
26
Starting and running
Emission control
The system provides a warning if there are faults
on the SCR system or if the level of reductant in
the reductant tank is too low. In the case of some
faults, for example if doser cooling is not work-

Starting and running
Engine shutdown
IMPORTANT!
There is risk of post boiling and of damage to the
turbocharger if the engine is switched off with-
out cooling. The power must not be switched off
before the engine has stopped.
If the engine is equipped with a battery master
switch and an SCR system, the SCR system must
run for a while after the engine has been switched
off to allow it to cool down. During this period
the power must not be cut using the battery mas-
ter switch.
Note:
The battery voltage must remain on for a few
seconds after the 15 voltage is switched off so
that the control units can store the values and
switch to standby mode.
10 prohibited engine shutdowns will cause a
torque reduction (70% of fuel volume). Reset the
engine by switching it off correctly once.
1. Run the engine without a load for a few min-
utes if it has been run continuously with a
heavy load.
2. Switch off the engine.
30
Starting and running
Checks after running
WARNING!
Block the starting device when working on the
engine. If the engine starts unexpectedly, there is
a serious risk of injury.
There is always a risk of sustaining burns when
an engine is hot. Particularly hot parts are engine
manifolds, turbochargers, oil sumps, as well as
hot coolant and oil in pipes and hoses.
IMPORTANT!
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).
Transporting engines
IMPORTANT!
When transporting engines or machines, the ex-
haust outlet must be protected from water and
debris. The exhaust gas aftertreatment may be
damaged if there is water or debris intrusion.
Ensure that the transport protection is in place
and remains there throughout the transport.
