Literature Information

This manual contains safety, operation instructions, lubrication and maintenance information. This manual should be stored in or near the engine area in a literature holder or literature storage area. Read, study and keep it with the literature and engine information.

English is the primary language for all Perkins publications. The English used facilitates translation and consistency.

Some photographs or illustrations in this manual show details or attachments that may be different from your engine. Guards and covers may have been removed for illustrative purposes. Continuing improvement and advancement of product design may have caused changes to your engine which are not included in this manual. Whenever a question arises regarding your engine, or this manual, please consult with your Perkins dealer or your Perkins distributor for the latest available information.

Safety

This safety section lists basic safety precautions. In addition, this section identifies hazardous, warning situations. Read and understand the basic precautions listed in the safety section before

operating or performing lubrication, maintenance and repair on this product.

Operation

Operating techniques outlined in this manual are basic. They assist with developing the skills and techniques required to operate the engine more efficiently and economically. Skill and techniques develop as the operator gains knowledge of the engine and its capabilities.

The operation section is a reference for operators. Photographs and illustrations guide the operator through procedures of inspecting, starting, operating and stopping the engine. This section also includes a discussion of electronic diagnostic information.

Maintenance

The maintenance section is a guide to engine care. The illustrated, step-by-step instructions are grouped by service hours and/or calendar time maintenance intervals. Items in the maintenance schedule are referenced to detailed instructions that follow.

Recommended service should be performed at the appropriate intervals as indicated in the Maintenance Interval Schedule. The actual operating environment of the engine also governs the Maintenance Interval Schedule. Therefore, under extremely severe, dusty, wet or freezing cold operating conditions, more frequent lubrication and maintenance than is specified in the Maintenance Interval Schedule may be necessary.

The maintenance schedule items are organized for a preventive maintenance management program. If the preventive maintenance program is followed, a periodic tune-up is not required. The implementation of a preventive maintenance management program should minimize operating costs through cost avoidances resulting from reductions in unscheduled downtime and failures.

Maintenance Intervals

Perform maintenance on items at multiples of the original requirement. We recommend that the

maintenance schedules be reproduced and displayed near the engine as a convenient reminder. We also recommend that a maintenance record be maintained as part of the engine’s permanent record.

Your authorized Perkins dealer or your Perkins distributor can assist you in adjusting your maintenance schedule to meet the needs of your operating environment.

Overhaul

Major engine overhaul details are not covered in the Operation and Maintenance Manual except for the interval and the maintenance items in that

interval. Major repairs should only be carried out by Perkins authorized personnel. Your Perkins dealer or your Perkins distributor offers a variety of options regarding overhaul programs. If you experience

a major engine failure, there are also numerous after failure overhaul options available. Consult with your Perkins dealer or your Perkins distributor for information regarding these options.

California Proposition 65 Warning

Grounding Practices

 

Correct grounding for the engine electrical system

 

is necessary for optimum engine performance

 

and reliability. Incorrect grounding will result in

 

uncontrolled electrical circuit paths and in unreliable

 

electrical circuit paths.

 

Uncontrolled electrical circuit paths can result in

 

damage to main bearings, to crankshaft bearing

 

journal surfaces, and to aluminum components.

 

Engines that are installed without engine-to-frame

 

ground straps can be damaged by electrical

 

discharge.

 

To ensure that the engine and the engine electrical

 

systems function correctly, an engine-to-frame

 

ground strap with a direct path to the battery must be

 

used. This path may be provided by way of a direct

 

engine ground to the frame.

 

All grounds should be tight and free of corrosion. The

 

engine alternator must be grounded to the negative

 

“-” battery terminal with a wire that is adequate to

 

handle the full charging current of the alternator.

Engine Cooling and Lubrication

The cooling system consists of the following components:

Gear-driven centrifugal water pump

Water temperature regulator which regulates the engine coolant temperature

Gear-driven oil pump (gear type)

Oil cooler

The engine lubricating oil is supplied to the engine by a gear-driven pump. The engine lubricating oil is cooled and the engine lubricating oil is filtered.

Bypass valves provide unrestricted flow of lubrication oil to the engine parts when oil viscosity is high. Bypass valves can also provide unrestricted flow

of lubrication oil to the engine parts if the oil cooler should become plugged or if the oil filter element should become plugged.

Engine efficiency, efficiency of emission controls, and engine performance depend on adherence to proper operation and maintenance recommendations.

Engine performance and efficiency also depend on the use of recommended fuels, lubrication oils, and coolants. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Maintenance Interval Schedule” for more information on maintenance items.

Engine Service Life

Engine efficiency and maximum utilization of engine performance depend on the adherence to proper operation and maintenance recommendations. In addition, use recommended fuels, coolants and lubricants. Use the Operation and Maintenance Manual as a guide for required engine maintenance.

Expected engine life is generally predicted by the average power that is demanded. The average power that is demanded is based on fuel consumption of the engine over a period of time. Reduced hours of operation at full throttle and/or operating at reduced throttle settings result in a lower average power demand. Reduced hours of operation will increase the length of operating time before an engine overhaul is required.

To help prevent excessive engine wear, use the following guidelines:

NOTICE

Never bend the eyebolts and the brackets. Only load the eyebolts and the brackets under tension. Remember that the capacity of an eyebolt is less as the angle between the supporting members and the object becomes less than 90 degrees.

When it is necessary to remove a component at an angle, only use a link bracket that is properly rated for the weight.

Use a hoist to remove heavy components. Use an adjustable lifting beam to lift the engine. All

supporting members (chains and cables) should be parallel to each other. The chains and cables should be perpendicular to the top of the object that is being lifted.

Some removals require lifting the fixtures in order to obtain proper balance and safety.

To remove the engine ONLY, use the lifting eyes that are on the engine.

Lifting eyes are designed and installed for specific engine arrangements. Alterations to the lifting eyes and/or the engine make the lifting eyes and the lifting fixtures obsolete. If alterations are made, ensure that proper lifting devices are provided. Consult your Perkins dealer for information regarding fixtures for proper engine lifting.

Complete all of the lubrication recommendations that are listed in this Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Maintenance Interval Schedule” (Maintenance Section).

If an engine is out of operation and if use of the engine is not planned, special precautions should be made. If the engine will be stored for more than one month, a complete protection procedure is recommended.

Use the following guidelines :

Completely clean the outside of the engine.

Drain the fuel system completely and refill the system with preservative fuel. Tooling (A) can be mixed with the normal fuel in order to change the fuel into preservative fuel.

If preservative fuel is not available, the fuel system can be filled with normal fuel. This fuel must be discarded at the end of the storage period together with the fuel filter elements.

Operate the engine until the engine reaches normal operating temperature. Stop any leaks from fuel, lubricating oil or air systems. Stop the engine and drain the lubricating oil from the oil pan.

Renew the canister(s) of the lubricating oil filter.

Lifting and Storage

 

Fill the oil pan to the Full Mark on the dipstick with new, clean lubricating oil. Add Tooling (B) to the oil in order to protect the engine against corrosion. If Tooling (B) is not available, use a preservative of the correct specification instead of the lubricating oil. If a preservative is used, this must be drained completely at the end of the storage period and the oil pan must be refilled to the correct level with normal lubricating oil.

Cooling System

To help prevent excessive engine wear, use the following guidelines:

NOTICE

Do not drain the coolant while the engine is still hot and the system is under pressure because dangerous hot coolant can be discharged.

3.Remove the drain plug (1) from the side of the cylinder block in order to drain the engine. Ensure that the drain hole is not restricted.

4.Open the tap or remove the drain plug at the bottom of the radiator in order to drain the radiator. If the radiator does not have a tap or a drain plug, disconnect the hose at the bottom of the radiator.

5.Flush the cooling system with clean water.

6.Fit the drain plugs and the filler cap. Close the tap or connect the radiator hose.

7.Fill the cooling system with an approved antifreeze mixture because this gives protection against corrosion.

Note: Certain corrosion inhibitors could cause damage to some engine components. Contact the Service Department of Perkins for advice.

If freezing temperatures are expected, check the cooling system for adequate protection against freezing. See this Operation and Maintenance Manual, “General Coolant Information” (Maintenance Section).

NOTICE

To prevent frost damage, ensure that all the coolant is removed from the engine. This is important if the system is drained after it has been flushed with water, or if an antifreeze solution too weak to protect the system from frost has been used.

1.Ensure that the vehicle is on level ground.

2.Remove the filler cap of the cooling system.

8.Operate the engine for a short period in order to circulate the lubricating oil and the coolant in the engine.

9.Disconnect the battery. Put the battery into safe storage in a fully charged condition. Before the battery is put into storage, protect the terminals against corrosion. Tooling (C) can be used on the terminals.

10.Clean the crankcase breather if one is installed. Seal the end of the pipe.

11.Remove the fuel injector nozzles and spray Tooling (B) for one or two seconds into each cylinder bore with the piston at BDC.

12.Slowly rotate the crankshaft for one complete revolution and then replace the fuel injector nozzles.

Induction System

Remove the air filter assembly. If necessary, remove the pipes that are installed between the air filter assembly and the turbocharger. Spray Tooling

(B) into the turbocharger. The duration of the spray is printed on the container. Seal the turbocharger with waterproof tape.

Exhaust System

Remove the exhaust pipe. Spray Tooling (B) into the turbocharger. The duration of the spray is printed on the container. Seal the turbocharger with waterproof tape.

SEBU8352

General Items

If the lubricating oil filler is installed on the rocker cover, remove the filler cap. If the lubricating

oil filler cap is not installed on the rocker cover, remove the rocker cover. Spray Tooling (B) around the rocker shaft assembly. Replace the filler cap or the rocker cover.

Seal the vent of the fuel tank or the fuel filler cap with waterproof tape.

Remove the alternator drive belts and put the drive belts into storage.

In order to prevent corrosion, spray the engine with Tooling (C). Do not spray the area inside the alternator.

When the engine protection has been completed in accordance with these instructions, this ensures that no corrosion will occur. Perkins are not responsible for damage which may occur when an engine is in storage after a period in service.

Your Perkins dealer or your Perkins distributor can assist in preparing the engine for extended storage periods.

Gauges and Indicators

 

Gauges and Indicators

i02164190

Gauges and Indicators

1.Reduce the load and the engine rpm.

2.Inspect the cooling system for leaks.

3.Determine if the engine must be shut down immediately or if the engine can be cooled by reducing the load.

Your engine may not have the same gauges or all of the gauges that are described. For more information about the gauge package, see the OEM information.

Gauges provide indications of engine performance. Ensure that the gauges are in good working order. Determine the normal operating range by observing the gauges over a period of time.

Noticeable changes in gauge readings indicate potential gauge or engine problems. Problems may also be indicated by gauge readings that change even if the readings are within specifications. Determine and correct the cause of any significant change in the readings. Consult your Perkins dealer or your Perkins distributor for assistance.

NOTICE

If no oil pressure is indicated, STOP the engine. If maximum coolant temperature is exceeded, STOP the engine. Engine damage can result.

Engine Oil Pressure – The oil pressure should be greatest after a cold engine is started. The typical engine oil pressure with

SAE10W30 is 207 to 413 kPa (30 to 60 psi) at rated rpm.

A lower oil pressure is normal at low idle. If the load is stable and the gauge reading changes, perform the following procedure:

1.Remove the load.

2.Reduce engine speed to low idle.

3.Check and maintain the oil level.

Jacket Water Coolant Temperature –

Typical temperature range is 71 to 96°C (160 to 205°F). The maximum allowable

temperature with the pressurized cooling system at 48 kPa (7 psi) is 110°C (230°F). Higher temperatures may occur under certain conditions. The water temperature reading may vary according to load. The reading should never exceed the boiling point for the pressurized system that is being used.

If the engine is operating above the normal range and steam becomes apparent, perform the following procedure:

Tachometer – This gauge indicates engine speed (rpm). When the throttle control lever is moved to the full throttle position without

load, the engine is running at high idle. The engine is running at the full load rpm when the throttle control lever is at the full throttle position with maximum rated load.

NOTICE

To help prevent engine damage, never exceed the high idle rpm. Overspeeding can result in serious damage to the engine. The engine can be operated at high idle without damage, but should never be allowed to exceed high idle rpm.

Ammeter – This gauge indicates the amount of charge or discharge in the battery charging circuit. Operation of the

indicator should be to the right side of “0” (zero).

Fuel Level – This gauge indicates the fuel level in the fuel tank. The fuel level gauge operates when the “START/STOP” switch

is in the “ON” position.

Service Hour Meter – The gauge indicates operating time of the engine.
