High Pressure Fuel Lines
Illustration 12
(1)Highpressureline
(2)Highpressureline
(3) High pre ssure line
(4) High pre ssure line
The high pressure fuel lines are the fuel lines that
are between the high pressure fuel pump and the
high pressure fuel manifold and the fuel lines that are
between the fuel manifold and cylinder head. These
fuel lines are different from fuel lines on other fuel
systems.
This is because of the following differences:
The high pressure fuel lines are constantly charged
•
with high pressure.
The internal pressures of the high pressure fuel
•
lines are higher than other types of fuel system.
The high pressure fuel lines are formed to shape
•
and then strengthened by a special process.
Do not step on the high pressure fuel lines. Do not
deflect the high pressure fuel lines. Do not bend or
strike the high pressure fuel lines. Deformation or
damage of the high pressure fuel lines may cause a
point of weakness and potential failure.
g01425090
(5) High pressure fuel manifold (rail)
(6) High pressure line
Do not check the high pressure fuel lines with the
engine or the starting motor in operation. After the
engine has stopped allow 60 seconds to pass in order
to allow the pressure to be purged before any service
or repair is performed on the engine fuel lines.
Do not loosen the high pressure fuel lines in order
to remove air from the fuel system. This procedure
is not required.
Visually inspect the high pressure fuel lines before
the engine is started. This inspection should be each
day.
If you inspect the engine in operation, always use
the proper inspection procedure in order to avoid
a fluid penetration hazard. Refer to Operation and
Maintenance Manual, “General Hazard Information”.

If equipped, ensure that the lighting system for the
engine is suitable for the conditions. Ensure that all
lights work correctly, if equipped.
All protective guards and all protective covers must
be installed if the engine must be started in order
to perform service procedures. To help prevent an
accident that is caused by parts in rotation, work
around the parts carefully.
Do not bypass the automatic shutoff circuits. Do not
disable the automatic shutoff circuits. The circuits are
provided in order to help prevent personal injury. The
circuits are also provided in order to help prevent
engine damage.
Start the engine from the operator's compartment or
from the engine start switch.
Always start the engine according to the procedure
that is described in the Operation and Maintenance
Manual, “Engine Starting” topic in the Operation
Section. Knowing the correct procedure will help to
prevent major damage to the engine components.
Knowing the procedure will also help to prevent
personal injury.
To ensure that the jacket water heater (if equipped)
and/or the lube oil heater (if equipped) is working
correctly, check the water temperature gauge
and/or the oil temperature gauge during the heater
operation.
Engine exhaust contains products of combustion
which can be harmful to your health. Always start the
engine and operate the engine in a well ventilated
area. If the engine is started in an enclosed area,
vent the engine exhaust to the outside.
Note: The engine is equipped with a device for cold
starting. If the engine will be operated in very cold
conditions, then an extra cold starting aid may be
required. Normally, the engine will be equipped with
the correct type of starting aid for your region of
operation.
These engines are equipped with a glow plug starting
aid in each individual cylinder that heats the intake
air in order to improve starting.

g01162916
Electrical System
Never disconnect any charging unit circuit or battery
circuit cable from the battery when the charging unit
is operating. A spark can cause the combustible
gases that are produced by some batteries to ignite.
To help prevent sparks from igniting combustible
gases that are produced by some batteries, the
negative “−” cable should be connected last from the
external power source to the negative “−” terminal
of the starting motor. If the starting motor is not
equipped with a negative “−” terminal, connect the
cable to the engine block.
Check the electrical wires daily for wires that
are loose or frayed. Tighten all loose electrical
connections before the engine is started. Repair all
frayed electrical wires before the engine is started.
See the Operation and Maintenance Manual for
specific starting instructions.

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.
If an engine is out of operation and if use of the
engine is not planned for more than one month, a
complete protection procedure is recommended.
To help prevent excessive engine wear and corrosion
to the engine, use the following guidelines:
1. Completely clean the outside of the engine.
2. Ensure that the vehicle is on level ground.
3. Drain the fuel system completely and refill

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.

Lifting and Storage
Personal injury can result from hot coolant. Any
contact with hot coolant or with steam c an cause
severe burns. Allow cooling system components
to cool before the cooling system is drained.
4. Drain and refill the cooling system. Refer to this
Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Cooling
System coolant (Commercial Heavy Duty Change or Cooling System coolant (ELC) Change” for information on draining, flushing and
refilling the cooling system.
Contact with high pressure fuel may cause fluid
penetration and burn hazards. High pressure fuel spray may cause a fire hazard. Failure to follow these inspection, maintenance and service instructions may cause personal injury or death.
5. Operate the engine until the engine reaches
normal operating temperature. Stop the engine.
After the engine has stopped, you must wait for 60
seconds in order to allow the fuel pressure to be
purged from the high pressure fuel lines before any
service or repair is performed on the engine fuel
lines. If necessary, perform minor adjustments.
Repair any leaks from the low pressure fuel
system and from the cooling, lubrication or air
systems. Replace any high pressure fuel line that
has leaked. Refer to Disassembly and assembly
Manual, “Fuel Injection Lines - Install”.
