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.
At the same time, we have been able to maintain
a high level of performance and operating econ-
omy for Scania Industrial and Marine Engines.
To maintain these throughout the entire service
life of the engine, it is important for the user to
follow the instructions on running, inspection
and fuel and lubricating oil as outlined in the Op-
erator's Manual.
Other green initiatives taken include ensuring
that, following inspection and repair, waste that
is harmful to the environment (for example oil,
fuel, coolant, filters and batteries) is disposed of
accordance with the applicable environmental
requirements.
Safety
The following pages contain a summary of the
safety precautions to be complied with when op-
erating and inspecting Scania engines. The
equivalent text can also be found under the rele-
vant inspection point.
To prevent damage to the engine and to ensure
that it runs optimally, follow the instructions in
the warnings and advisories.
If the instructions are not followed, the warranty
can cease to apply.
