Most accidents that involve product operation, maintenance and repair are caused by failure to
observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially
hazardous situations before an accident occurs. A person must be alert to potential hazards. This
person should also have the necessary training, skills and tools to perform these functions properly.
Improper operation, lubrication, maintenance or repair of this product can be dangerous and
could result in injury or death.
Do not operate or perform any lubrication, maintenance or repair on this product, until you have
read and understood the operation, lubrication, maintenance and repair information.
Safety precautions and warnings are provided in this manual and on the product. If these hazard
warnings are not heeded, bodily injury or death could occur to you or to other persons.
The hazards are identified by the “Safety Alert Symbol” and followed by a “Signal Word” such as
“DANGER”, “WARNING” or “CAUTION”. The Safety Alert “WARNING” label is shown below.
The meaning of this safety alert symbol is as follows:
Attention! Become Alert! Your Safety is Involved.
The message that appears under the warning explains the hazard and can be either written or
pictorially presented.
Operations that may cause product damage are identified by “NOTICE” labels on the product and in
this publication.
Perkins cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard. The
warnings in this publication and on the product are, therefore, not all inclusive. If a tool, procedure,
work method or operating technique that is not specifically recommended by Perkins is used,
you must satisfy yourself that it is safe for you and for others. You should also ensure that the
product will not be damaged or be made unsafe by the operation, lubrication, maintenance or
repair procedures that you choose.
The information, specifications, and illustrations in this publication are on the basis of information that
was available at the time that the publication was written. The specifications, torques, pressures,
measurements, adjustments, illustrations, and other items can change at any time. These changes can
affect the service that is given to the product. Obtain the complete and most current information before
you start any job. Perkins dealers or Perkins distributors have the most current information available.

Burn Prevention
Do not touch any part of an operating engine
system. The engine, the exhaust, and the engine
aftertreatment system can reach temperatures as
high as 650 °C (1202 °F) under normal operating
conditions. If the engine or the engine aftertreatment
system unexpectedly fails, the temperature of the
gas at the diesel particulate filter (DPF) may increase
to 900°C (1652°F).
At idle engine speed and/or zero vehicle speed,
an operator can request a manual regeneration.
Under this condition, the exhaust gas temperature
can reach 650 °C (1202 °F). Otherwise automatic
regeneration can produce exhaust gas temperatures
as high as 450 °C (842 °F).
Allow the engine system to cool before any
maintenance is performed. Relieve all pressure
in the air system, in the hydraulic system, in the
lubrication system, in the fuel system, or in the
cooling system before any lines, fittings, or related
items are disconnected.

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 inspe ction, maintenance and service instructions may cause personal injury or death.
After the engine has stopped, you must wait for 10
minutes 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.
Allow the pressure to be purged in the air system, in
the hydraulic system, in the lubrication system, or
in the cooling system before any lines, fittings, or

Sulfuric Acid Burn Hazard may cause serious personal injury or death.
The exhaust gas cooler may contain a small
amount of sulfuric acid. The use of fuel with sulfur levels greater than 15 ppm may increase the
amount of sulfuric acid formed. The sulfuric acid
may spill from the cooler during service of the
engine. The sulfuric acid will burn the eyes, skin
and clothing on contact. Always wear the a ppropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) that
is noted on a material safety data sheet (MSDS)

Coolant
When the engine is at operating temperature, the
engine coolant is hot. The coolant is also under
pressure. The radiator and all lines to the heaters or
to the engine contain hot coolant. The aftertreatment
regeneration device (ARD) is connected to the
coolant system and will contain hot coolant.
Any contact with hot coolant or with steam can cause
severe burns. Allow cooling system components to
cool before the cooling system is drained.
Check that the coolant level after the engine has
stopped and the engine has been allowed to cool.
Ensure that the filler cap is cool before removing the

(6) H ig h press u re 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 items:
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.
Do not check the high pressure fuel lines with the
engine or the starting motor in operation. After the
engine has stopped, you must wait for 10 minutes 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.
Do not loosen the high pressure fuel lines in order
to remove air from the fuel system. This procedure
is not required.

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.
Grounding Practices
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 primary position for
grounding.
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.

Configuration Parameters
The engine electronic control module (ECM) has

The electronic service tool is required in order to alter
the configuration parameters.
System Configuration Parameters
System configuration parameters affect the emissions
of the engine or the power of the engine. System
configuration parameters are programmed at the
factory. Normally, system configuration parameters
would never require changing through the life
of the engine. System configuration parameters
must be reprogrammed if an ECM is replaced.
System configuration parameters do not require

NOTICE
Stopping the engine immediately after it has been
working under load, can result in overheating and accelerated wear of the engine components.
Avoid accelerating the engine prior to shutting it down.
Avoiding hot engine shutdowns will maximize turbocharger shaft and bearing life.
Note: Individual applications will have different
control systems. Ensure that the shutoff procedures
are understood. Use the following general guidelines
in order to stop the engine.
1. Remove the load from the engine. Reduce the
engine speed (rpm) to low idle. Allow the engine
to idle for five minutes in order to cool the engine.
2. Stop the engine after the cool down period
according to the shutoff system on the engine and
turn the ignition key switch to the OFF position.

Many engine failures are related to the cooling
system. The following problems are related to cooling
system failures: Overheating, leakage of the water
pump, and plugged radiators or heat exchangers.
These failures can be avoided with correct cooling
system maintenance. Cooling system maintenance is
as important as maintenance of the fuel system and
the lubrication system. Quality of the coolant is as
important as the quality of the fuel and the lubricating
oil.
Coolant is normally composed of three elements:
Water, additives, and glycol.

the accumulation of ash on the surface of the filter.
Ash is the inert part of the particulate matter. The

Aftermarket Oil Additives
Perkins does not recommend the use of aftermarket
additives in oil. It is not necessary to use aftermarket
additives in order to achieve the engines maximum
service life or rated performance. Fully formulated,
finished oils consist of base oils and of commercial
additive packages. These additive packages are
blended into the base oils at precise percentages in
order to help provide finished oils with performance
characteristics that meet industry standards.
There are no industry standard tests that evaluate
the performance or the compatibility of aftermarket
additives in finished oil. Aftermarket additives may
not be compatible with the finished oils additive
package, which could lower the performance of the
finished oil. The aftermarket additive could fail to mix
with the fi nished oil. This failure could produce sludge
in the crankcase. Perkins discourages the use of
aftermarket additives in finished oils.
To achieve the best performance from a Perkins
engine, conform to the following guidelines:

Cetane Number
Fuel that has a high cetane number will give a
shorter ignition delay. A high cetane number will
produce
a better ignition quality. Cetane numbers are
derived for fuels against proportions of cetane and
heptamethylnonane in the standard CFR engine.
Refer t
o “ISO 5165” for the test method.

Visc
Viscosity is the property of a liquid of offering
istance to shear or flow. Viscosity decreases
res
with increasing temperature. This decrease in
viscosity follows a logarithmic relationship for normal
sil fuel. The common reference is to kinematic
fos
viscosity. Kinematic viscosity is the quotient of the
dynamic viscosity that is divided by the density. The
termination of kinematic viscosity is normally by
de
readings from gravity flow viscometers at standard
temperatures. Refer to “ISO 3104” for the test
thod.
me
The visco
sity of the fuel is significant because fuel
serves as a lubricant for the fuel system components.
Fuel must have sufficient viscosity in order to lubricate
the fuel
system in both extremely cold temperatures
and extremely hot temperatures. If the kinematic
viscosity of the fuel is lower than “1.4 cSt” at the fuel
on pump, damage to the fuel injection pump
injecti
can occur. This damage can be excessive scuffing
and seizure. Low viscosity may lead to difficult hot
ting, stalling, and loss of performance. High
restar
viscosity may result in seizure of the pump.
s recommends kinematic viscosities of 1.4 and
Perkin
4.5 mm2/sec that is delivered to the fuel injection
pump. If a fuel with a low viscosity is used, cooling of
el may be required to maintain 1.4 cSt or greater
the fu
viscosity at the fuel injection pump. Fuels with a high
viscosity might require fuel heaters in order to lower
scosity to 4.5 cSt at the fuel injection pump.
the vi
Density
Density is the mass of the fuel per unit volume
at a specific temperature. This parameter has a
ct influence on engine performance and a direct
dire
influence on emissions. This influence determines
from a heat output given injected volume of fuel. This
ameter is quoted in the following kg/m

po
Sulfur
The level of sulfur is governed by emissions
legislations. Regional regulation, national regulations,

o
aspecific sulfur limit. The sulfur content of the fuel
and the fuel quality must comply with all existing local
egulations for emissions.

High Pressure Fuel Lines
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 inspe ction, maintenance and service instructions may cause personal injury or death.
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

Proper welding procedures are necessary in order
to avoid damage to the engines ECM, sensors, and
associated components. When possible, remove
the component from the unit and then weld the
component. If removal of the component is not
possible, the following procedure must be followed
when you weld on a unit equipped with an Electronic
Engine. The following procedure is considered to be
the safest procedure to weld on a component. This
procedure should provide a minimum risk of damage
to electronic components.

Do not ground the welder to electrical components
such as the ECM or sensors. Improper grounding can
use damage to the drive train bearings, hydraulic

1. Remove the cooling system filler cap slowly in
order to relieve pressure.
2. Maintain the coolant level at the maximum mark
that is correct for your application. If the engine is
equipped with a sight glass, maintain the coolant
level to the correct level in the sight glass.
3. Clean the cooling system filler cap and inspect the
gasket. If the gasket is damaged, discard the old
filler cap and install a new filler cap. If the gasket
is not damaged, use a suitable pressurizing pump
in order to pressure test the filler cap. The correct
pressure is stamped on the face of the filler cap. If
the filler cap does not retain the correct pressure,
install a new filler cap.
4. Inspect the cooling system for leaks.
NOTICE
Do not exceed the recommended amount of supplemental coolant additive concentration. Excessive
supplemental coolant additive concentration can form
deposits on the higher temperature surfaces of the
cooling system, reducing the engine's heat transfer
characteristics. Reduced heat transfer could cause
cracking of the cylinder head and other high temperature components. Excessive supplemental coolant
additive concentration could also result in radiator
tube blockage, overheating, and/or accelerated water
pump seal wear. Never use both liquid supplemental
coolant additive and the spin-on element (if equipped)
at the same time. The use of those additives together
could result in supplemental coolant additive concentration exceeding the recommended maximum.
