Cooling system
WARNING!
Never open the coolant filler cap when the en-
gine is hot. Hot coolant and steam may spray out
and cause burns. If the cap has to be opened do it
slowly to release the pressure before removing
the cap. Wear protective gloves as the coolant is
still very hot.
Avoid skin contact with coolant as this may
cause irritation to the skin. Wear protective gog-
gles and gloves when handling coolant.
Ethylene glycol can be fatal if ingested.
Environment
Used coolant must be disposed of as specified in
national and international laws and regulations.
Fuel system
WARNING!
Natural gas and pure biogas are extremely flam-
mable and can even be ignited by static electric-
ity from a person.
Natural gas and pure biogas are lighter than air
and therefore rise in the event of leakage. Be
aware of if there is a leak in a confined space. In
those cases the gas can cause suffocation and an
explosive atmosphere.
Always use Scania spare parts for the fuel and
electrical systems. Scania spare parts are de-
signed to minimise the risk of fire and explosion.
IMPORTANT!
Work on the engine may only be carried out by
personnel who are aware of the risks and have
sufficient knowledge of natural gas and pure bi-
ogas.
Comply with applicable local laws and regula-
tions when handling natural gas and pure biogas.
The operator is responsible for using the correct
type of gas to ensure that local laws are complied
with.
