Note:
Use only start aids recommended by Scania.
- The starter motor may only be used for 30 seconds, after which it must
rest for 2 minutes.
If the engine has flame start:
- Operating flame start without timer relay: Press the control button
which also acts as a pre-glow button (max. 20 s). The glow plug contin-
ues to glow as long as the button is held down after the engine is started.
Max. time is 5 minutes.
- Operating flame start with timer relay: Press the pre-glow button (max.
20 s). Release the pre-glow button after the engine starts. The timer
relay keeps the glow plug working for 5 minutes. If a shorter on-time is
required, press the release button. The key must be set to 0 if the start
attempt fails.
Note:
If the engine is equipped with an INTERLOCK switch, this
switch should be depressed and held down until the oil pressure
has reached a sufficiently high level.
- Run the engine until warm with a light load. A light load on a cold
engine gives better combustion and faster heating than warming up with
no load.
Maximum starter engagement
time is 30 seconds. Risk of
overheating. Allow starter to
cool for 2 minutes after a
starting attempt before
cranking again.
