Note: The catalytic converter unit, which is a part of the silencer unit, contains precious

metals, which should be recycled.

Coolant

 WARNING!

  The cooling system operates with

overpressure. There is a risk that hot coolant or steam may be emitted if the system is opened while hot.

Hot coolant can cause burns.

Avoid skin contact with coolant. Skin contact may cause irritation.

Always wear protective goggles and  rubber gloves when handling coolant.

Scania corrosion inhibitor, ethylene

glycol and other coolant additives can be fatal if swallowed.

1   Drain the coolant using coolant draining unit 587 129.

2   The coolant remaining in the cylinder block can be drained through the drain plugs

found on certain engine variants.
