Environment and safety Environment and safety Different types of advisory Environmental responsibility Warning! All advisories preceded by Warning! are very important. They warn of serious faults and incor- rect operation that could lead to personal injury. Example: Scania develops and produces engines that are as environmentally-friendly as possible. Scania has made major investments in the reduction of harmful exhaust emissions in order to fulfil the environmental requirements in force in almost every market. WARNING! At the same time, we have been able to maintain a high level of performance and operating econ- omy for Scania Industrial and Marine Engines.
To maintain these throughout the entire service life of the engine, it is important for the user to follow the instructions on running, maintenance and fuel and lubricating oil as outlined in the Op- erator's manual. Block the starting device when working on the engine. If the engine starts unexpectedly, there is a serious risk of injury. Important!
