Safety

Safety

Vehicles with air suspension


Always support vehicles with air suspension
under the frame. Otherwise, the vehicle may
drop as the air pressure in the bellows is
reduced. Do not walk under a vehicle that is
raised on a jack only. Follow the instructions in
the Workshop Manual, Lifting and supporting
on stands.

Safety measures
• Use reliable and correctly dimensioned
stands, struts and locks with standard
locking devices.
• Stands and struts must be sturdy.
• Lifting tools must have been inspected and
approved for use.

For more information on safety measures, see


Workshop Manual, Safety in the workshop,
main group 00.

• Front grille hinges and latches
• Cab tilt lock
• Door stop
• Door hinges
• Linkage for load-sensing valve
• Storage compartment latch
• Bonnet latch (T vehicles)

Lubricating with grease gun


Use universal grease for lubrication points on

Functional inspection
A functional inspection need only be carried out
if the lubricating oil cleaner is suspected not to
work properly, e. g. if there is an abnormally
small amount of deposit in the oil cleaner in
relation to the distance travelled.
The rotor rotates very fast and should continue
to turn when the engine has stopped.
1 Run the engine until it is warm.
100265

2 Stop the engine and listen for the sound


from the rotor. Use your hand to feel if the
filter housing is vibrating.

00:03-07/1 © Scania CV AB 2005, Sweden 39


Engine

• Loosen the poly-V-belt from the pulleys,


but leave it around the fan shaft, so that the
direction of rotation of the poly-V-belt is
not changed.
• Check the poly-V-belt carefully. If the
poly-V-belt has one or more cracks, renew
it.

105 875
If there are large cracks or if pieces of the
poly-V-belt are missing, renew it.

• Also check wear on the poly-V-belt.

112 931
The poly-V-belt shows signs of wear. Can be
refitted.

112 932

The poly-V-belt is worn down to the chord. The


poly-V-belt must be renewed.

Engine

1-06 Checking belt tension

Automatic belt tensioner


The belt tensioner must not be adjusted, opened,
repaired or modified in any way. If the belt
tensioner does not provide sufficient tensioning
of the poly-V-belt, it must be renewed.

Noise in the belt drive


Check the belt tensioner by slowly pressing it
from the belt until it stops. Then, slowly bring
the belt tensioner back to the initial position.
Repeat 2-3 times. Jamming or jerking of the belt
tensioner is not permissible.

Measurement

Recommended belt tension for FO belts


New belt 370 Nm
Used belt 310 Nm

New V-belts need a higher tension since they are


stiffer.

Engine

Order of adjustment
Adjustment applies to a 9 litre engine with
5 cylinders.
In order for the adjusting to be carried out on the
correct revolution, proceed as follows:
1 Rotate the flywheel so that the 72° mark on
the flywheel can be seen in the lower
window of the flywheel housing whilst
valve overlap occurs on cylinder 5.
2 Then turn the flywheel clockwise so that it
passes TDC Down (0°) by about 20° and
then turn it anticlockwise until
TDC Down (0°) is visible in the bottom
window on the flywheel housing. The
reason for turning past TDC down (0°) and
then back is to counteract any play in the
gears.
You are now on the first revolution and can
adjust the valves and unit injectors according to
the following table.
3 Rotate the flywheel anti-clockwise using
tool 99 309 so that the mark on the flywheel
is visible in the lower window of the
flywheel housing.

1-12 Air cleaner


Air is drawn through the aperture in the side of
the air cleaner. It is filtered through the paper
filter and is drawn through the upper aperture to
the turbocharger.
There is a rubber valve underneath the air
cleaner that acts as a drain. Water that enters the
air cleaner is collected at this point. The rubber
valve opens when the pressure exerted by the
water is greater than the pressure in the air
cleaner.

Vacuum indicator
P/R vehicles: The vacuum indicator is located
inside the right-hand boarding step.

T vehicles: The vacuum indicator is located


inside the right-hand service step.
Engine output will be affected if the filter admits
insufficient air to the engine. Other related
effects are increases in fuel consumption and the

00_1533
amount of carbon particles in the exhaust, both
of which are caused by the reduced output being
compensated for by increased throttle. There is
also an increased risk of damage to the
turbocharger.

The vacuum indicator has two windows, the


smaller of which indicates the need for a new
filter by changing colour; the larger window is
graduated. When the vacuum indicator shows
5.0 kPa, the filter element should be changed.

Note: Reset the vacuum indicator by pressing

Beware of the risk of fire. Make sure


there is nothing glowing and there are
no sparks, naked flames or similar in the
vicinity when working on the gas
system.

IMPORTANT! For all work on the gas system,


the specific laws and regulations of the country
concerned regarding gas and the handling of gas
equipment must be followed.

The integrity of the gas system


Check the gas system integrity in the direction
of flow with leak detection spray or soapy water.

operating temperature.
2 Check that the idling speed is approx.
550 rpm. Adjust idling speed as required by
turning the idling screw 1.

3 Take a sensor voltage reading with the


multimeter. It should read between 1.60 V
and 1.90 V at 550 rpm.
4 Adjust the lambda value if necessary by
turning the mixture screw 1 on the gas
mixer. If the correct lambda value cannot be
set, take off the outer diaphragm of the gas
mixer and remove or add shims on the gas
valve.

3 Measure at wide open throttle acceleration


in a high gear from approx. 1000 r/min till
2000 r/min. Read the sensor voltage at
200 rpm intervals from 1000 rpm.
4 Make a copy of the diagram and plot the
readings. The existing curves indicate
minimum and maximum values. The
thin-line curves indicate limits at 150 bar
gas pressure and the bold ones at 50 bar gas
pressure.

5 Adjust the gas pressure if the sensor voltage


is too high or too low across the whole
engine speed range.
6 Unscrew the plugs and adjust the gas
pressure with the set screws on the low
pressure regulators. Adjust both regulators
the same amount. Turning clockwise will
increase the gas pressure and lower the
sensor voltage. Do not screw in the set
screw more than 16 turns from fully
unscrewed position.

Note: Screwing in the set screw more than 16


turns will cause the spring seat to come loose
from the screw.

IMPORTANT! The plugs must be refitted in the


low pressure regulators before testing. Leaks
can affect the lambda value.

7 If the adjustment range of the screw is


insufficient, the regulator spring should be
renewed.

8 Using an industrial vacuum cleaner,
remove all ash deposits and soot from
visible surfaces both on the catalytic
converter and the filter unit.
9 Inspect the surfaces on the catalytic
converter and filter unit to check for:
- Cracks in the surface or pitting.
- That the ceramic filter is firmly seated in
the outer container.

10 If no defects can be found on the filter unit,


turn it 180 degrees and fit it. Refer to the
illustration.
11 Connect an extractor to the exhaust pipe.

Workshop Manual, main group 9.

! WARNING!

Use protective goggles when draining oil


from the hub reduction gear. Oil can
spray out at high pressure.

Help protect our environment. Dispose of excess


oil in accordance with workshop procedures.
