Scania DC09 XPI. Industrial engine en-GB 2 824 008. Operator’s manual - part 1

Important information

Serious risk of injury

When working on the engine, for example when adjusting drive belts and the clutch, or when changing the

oil, it is important not to start the engine. The engine could be damaged, but more importantly there is a

serious risk of injury.

For this reason, always secure the starting device or disconnect a battery cable before working on the engine.

This is especially important if the engine has a remote starter or automatic starting.

WARNING!

This warning symbol and text can be found next to those maintenance items where it is particularly impor-

tant to bear in mind the risk of injury.

IMPORTANT!

The owner is responsible for making sure that maintenance is carried out on time and in accordance with

the instructions.

The owner must entrust the maintenance, renewal and repair of emission-related components and systems

to a qualified workshop or person.

Start of warranty

The more we know about you, your company and your equipment, the more effectively we can adapt our

services to you. If you have started to use a new Scania engine, it is very important that you send in the war-

ranty start report to us immediately. Quite simply, we need to register all the details on engine ownership

etc., so we can monitor it for you.

You can report the start of the warranty on the Scania website: www.scania.com.

Note:

If you do not send in the warranty report, the engine is not covered by the accompanying Scania warranty.

Also fill in below the details you enter in the warranty report. These details can facilitate contact with a

workshop, for example. The engine serial number is on the engine data plate and is also engraved on the

cylinder block.

Power classes

Scania supplies engines in four different power

classes:

ICFN, Continuous service: Intended for contin-

uous use and an unlimited number of operational

hours per year at a total load factor of 100%.

IFN, Intermittent service: Intended for periodic

use, where the rated power is available for one

hour per three-hour period. The total load factor

must not exceed 80% of the rated power. Unlim-

ited number of operational hours per year.

PRP, Prime power: Intended for continuous use

and an unlimited number of operational hours

with varying loads. The average load factor must

not exceed 70% of the rated power in a 24-hour

period. Accumulated overload 110% for one

hour per 12-hour period. This power class ap-

plies to single-speed engines.

COP, Continuous power: Intended for continu-

al use with a non-varying load and an unlimited

number of operational hours.

The engine serial numbers and power classes for

the engines that are used in this installation
