Work description

General information

This information is aimed at all people dealing
with reconditioning and scrapping of Scania
vehicles. The information applies to workshops
as well as dismantling and recycling companies.

The information is applicable to all Scania
models. However, not all parts are covered by
this information booklet. The information is
incomplete.

Drainage and removal describes how
environmentally hazardous waste should be
removed from the vehicle (pre-treatment).

The purpose of identification of materials is to
facilitate identification and sorting of materials
for recycling.

WARNING!

Isocyanates are found in some paints,
putties, adhesives and plastic foams,
etc., that are used in motor vehicles.
Inhaling isocyanates in the form of
vapour, dust or aerosols may cause
irritation of mucous membranes causing
asthmatic symptoms from the
respiratory passages and an impaired
function of the lungs. Even brief
exposure to high concentrations can
cause problems of permanent
hypersensitivity.

When products containing isocyanates
in combined form are heated to
temperatures above 150°C, isocyanates
are set free. This results in a high degree
of exposure.

This applies for example to grinding,
welding and cutting products to which a
top coat of paint containing isocyanates
has been applied. For this reason, make
sure that there is adequate ventilation in
the areas where the work is carried out.
Personnel carrying out such work
should use protection, such as
respiratory masks with air supply.

Do not take any risks when working with
heated materials that might contain
isocyanates; always presume that the
material contains isocyanates and take
necessary safety precautions.

WARNING!

Where a vehicle is involved in a fire, a
number of substances that are
hazardous to health and the
environment are formed. Smoke and
water carry these substances and they
remain in the vehicle to a certain extent
(ashes).

When dismantling a vehicle that has
been involved in a fire, the following
should be taken into consideration:

Use protective equipment such as
respiratory protection and gloves when
working on vehicles which have been
involved in a fire. Avoid skin contact
with ashes.

The vehicle may be weakened, which
can have a negative affect on lifting
points. This should also be taken into
consideration when tilting cabs.

Gas dampers that have not been
punctured represent an explosion risk,
as the material they are made of may be
weakened and/or damaged.

Wash the vehicle before starting
dismantling.

Keep the following in mind:

Do not start dismantling before the
cause of the fire has been fully
investigated.

Power should be disconnected on
vehicles which have been involved in a
fire as soon as possible, by
disconnecting the battery cables. This is
to prevent short circuits, which can
result in a new fire.

Corrosion is accelerated on vehicles
which have been involved in a fire, for
example due to moisture in combination
with ashes and some extinguishing
medium. The vehicle should be
processed as soon as possible, to
minimise the risk of undesirable leakage
of environmentally hazardous fluids and
substances.

Burnt vehicles should be washed in a

way that allows the washing water to be
disposed of in an environmentally
responsible way, as it contains
environmentally hazardous
contaminants.

When carrying out any type of work
which involves heating products, the
relevant safety regulations for this type
of work should be followed.

Cut the power to the vehicle before
starting work.

The system must be depressurised
when working with air bellows.

Risks in connection with ethanol

• Ethanol fuel is extremely flammable

and must be handled with great care.
Like petrol, ethanol is classified with
a flammability class.

• Ethanol fuel is hazardous to health. If

ethanol has come into contact with
eyes or skin, flush with water.

• Ventilate properly when handling

ethanol.

• Ethanol fumes can form an ignitable

WARNING!

mixture with air at approximately
9°C, both in closed and open
containers.

• The fumes are heavier than air and

therefore spread along the ground
and can catch fire a long way from
the source.

• Avoid free-falling jets; otherwise

there is a risk of static electricity,
which would cause sparks.

• Prevent sparking through

equipotential bonding (grounding).

• Ethanol burns with a barely visible

flame and no smoke. Burning
ethanol is therefore hard to detect in
daylight.

Safety precautions and equipment in
connection with ethanol

• Comply with local regulations when

handling ethanol fuel.

• Establish ethanol decontamination

routines for workshop work. There
must be sand or Absol for
decontamination.

• Store ethanol spillage in a marked,

closed collecting vessel specially
designed for ethanol fuel and in a
manner that ensures it is not
confused with diesel.

• Wear protective gloves and goggles

resistant to ethanol when handling
the fuel. Cotton clothes are
recommended.

• Powder is the best extinguishing

medium for putting out ethanol fires.

1 Drain the engine oil.

2 Remove the oil filter. Also drain the oil

from the centrifugal oil cleaner reservoir.

3 Remove the fuel filter element. Use suction

on the filter housing if necessary.

Note: The fuel system may be pressurised.
Release the pressure before dismantling.

4 Drain the oil from the compressor by

unscrewing the blanking pieces.
