IMPORTANT INFORMATION
When working on the engine, for example adjusting drive belts, oil change or adjusting the clutch,
it is important not to start the engine. The engine may be damaged and there is
! 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.
This warning symbol and text is reproduced beside those maintenance points where it is
especially important to consider the risk of injury.

FOREWORD
This operator’s manual describes the operation and maintenance of the Scania
DC12 and DI12 industrial engines. The instructions apply to engines in
program 96, starting with engine number 5 997 001.
The engines are of direct-injection, liquid-cooled, four-stroke, 6-cylinder in-
line diesel type.They are supercharged and equipped with a charge air cooler
which is either air-cooled or coolant-cooled. See also page 4.
Common applications are as power units in construction machines, generator
sets, earth-moving, railway and forestry machines as well as in irrigation sys-
tems.
The engines can have different output and speed settings.
The normal output setting of the engine (performance code) is indicated on
the type plate, see page 4.
Note Only standard components are described in the instruction
manual. In regard to special equipment, refer to the instructions
of the relevant manufacturer.
In order to obtain the best value and service life from your engine, there are
several points you should bear in mind:
- Read the manual before starting to use the engine. Even though you may
be very experienced with Scania engines, you may find new information
in this manual.
- Follow the maintenance instructions. Safety, good working order and
service life is ensured if maintenance is carried out according to the
instructions.
- Get to know your engine so that you know what it can do and how it
works.
- Whenever necessary, always contact an authorised Scania workshop.
They have special tools, genuine Scania parts and staff with training and
practical experience of Scania engines.
The information in this manual was correct at the time of going to press.
However, we reserve the right to make alterations without prior notice.

RUNNING
✹ The LED comes on when the engine has started
and the “Starting”-LED goes out. It remains on
until the engine is stopped.
TORQUE LIMIT
✹ The LED comes on when the control unit senses
that the engine has received the maximum set
quantity of injected fuel according to its power
curve. This means 100% power output at the
current rpm. If the load increases, engine rpm
will decrease.
BOOST LIMIT
✹ The LED comes on when the control unit’s
smoke limiter limits the maximum fuel quantity.
Operation of the smoke limiter is dependent on
the charge air pressure.
CONTROL STATUS
✹ The LED continues to flash even if there is a
fault and this indicates that the control unit is
functioning normally.
POWER -
✹ If the LED comes on, the control unit has
detected a fault condition which could result in
engine damage if allowed to continue.
The control unit automatically reduces engine
power output to a special level.
See next page for appropriate action.
SHUTDOWN
✹ The LED comes on and the engine is switched
off automatically in the event of a fault so seri-
ous that the engine could be damaged if it is still
in operation.
See next page for appropriate action.

Note A glycol concentration below 30 % by volume will not provide
sufficient protection against corrosion. Glycol concentrations
higher than 60 % do not improve anti-freeze protection and have
a negative effect on engine cooling capacity.
- DEC2: If the main indicator lamp comes on or flashes when the power is
turned on, this indicates the presence of a fault in the control system or
engine which must be found and rectified before the engine is started.
See page 9.
- Start the engine by means of the starter button or starter key.
Starting at low temperatures
Local environmental requirements should be complied with. Starting aids,
engine heaters and/or flame start devices should be used to avoid starting
problems and white smoke.
To limit white smoke, the engine should be run at low speed and under mod-
erate load. Avoid running it longer than necessary at idling speed.
Engine speed
The Scania tachometer is divided into sectors of different colours, as follows:

Normal coolant temperature when the engine is running should be 70 - 90 °C.

Oil analysis
Some oil companies can offer analysis of the engine oil. Such analysis meas-
ures the oil’s TBN (Total Base Number), TAN (Total Acid Number), fuel
dilution, water content, viscosity and the quantity of wear particles and soot
in it.
The result of a series of analyses is used as the basis for establishing a suita-
ble oil change interval.
If the conditions are changed, a new oil analysis programme must be carried
out to establish the new change interval.

Open the cap carefully.
The oil may be hot.
- Lift out the rotor and slacken the rotor bowl retaining nut three turns.
- Tap the nut lightly with your hand or a plastic hammer, to detach the
rotor bowl from the bottom plate.
- Scrape off the deposits inside the rotor bowl. If there are no deposits,
this indicates that the cleaner is not working properly.
- If the deposits are thicker than 20 mm: Clean more often.
- Fit the O-ring in the rotor bowl. Make sure it is not damaged.
Change if necessary.
Functional test
The rotor spins very fast and should continue to rotate when the engine has
stopped.
- Stop the engine while it is warm.
- Listen for a whirring sound from the rotor or feel whether the cleaner
housing is vibrating.
The rotor normally continues spinning for 30 - 60 seconds after the engine
has stopped.
If it does not: dismantle it and inspect the component parts.

ing dispersing agents. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for mixing
proportions and cleaning times.
- Run the engine for the specified time and then drain the cooling system.

CHECKING THE DRIVE BELT
If the drive belt (1), which is a poly-V belt, is worn or damaged it must be
changed.
Also check that the automatic belt tensioner (2) is in proper working order
and keeps the drive belt correctly tensioned.
On installations with dual belt circuits, the second belt circuit has a drive belt
with manual belt tensioner.
This drive belt should be tensioned to 15-20 Nm as shown in the figure.

If it gets on your skin: Wash the affected area with soap and water.
If you inhale it: Fresh air, rest and warmth

The properties of the fuel when cold can be improved by adopting one of the
following measures before the temperature drops:
1. Lamp paraffin or heating oil: A maximum of 50 % may be added.
First top up with paraffin so that the fuel is properly mixed. It is
prohibited to use paraffin oil as engine fuel in some countries.
2. Petrol: Only in an emergency and then no more than 30%. Petrol lowers
the ignitability (CET rating) of the fuel, which can lead to starting
difficulties. There will also be emissions of blue smoke and fuel
consumption will be higher. Even very small quantities of petrol will
lower the flashpoint of the fuel, which increases the risk of fire.
3. Alcohol: 0.5 - 2% to prevent water in the fuel from freezing to ice.
4. Light diesel: Can be used for Scania engines in pure form or in the same
way as lamp paraffin to improve the properties of the fuel when cold.
Light diesel is paraffin with a suitable CET rating (ignitability) and a
lubricating additive. Without this, the injection pump would seize.
Drain the fuel tanks, drain the fuel filter, clean the prefilter and
change the fuel filter regularly.
