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.

Uncontrolled electrical circuit paths can result in damage to the 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.

The connections for the grounds should be tight and free of corrosion. The engine alternator must be grounded to the negative “-” battery terminal. The wire used must be adequate to handle the full charging current of the alternator.

The power supply connections and the ground connections for the engine electronics should always be from the isolator to the battery.

This engine has a comprehensive, programmable Engine Monitoring System. The Electronic Control Module (ECM) monitors the engine operating conditions. If any of the engine parameters extend outside an allowable range, the ECM will initiate an immediate action.

The following actions are available for engine monitoring control:

• Warning

• Derate

• Shutdown

The following monitored engine operating conditions and components can limit engine speed and/or the engine power:

• Engine Coolant Temperature

• Engine Oil Pressure

• Engine Speed

• Intake Manifold Air Temperature

• Wastegate Regulator

• Supply Voltage to Sensors

• Fuel Temperature

• Fuel Pressure in Manifold (Rail)

• NOxReduction System

• Engine Aftertreatment System

The Engine Monitoring package can vary for different engine models and different engine applications. However, the monitoring system and the engine monitoring control will be similar for all engines.

Note: Many of the engine control systems and display modules that are available for Perkins engines will work in unison with the Engine Monitoring System. Together, the two controls will provide the engine monitoring function for the specific engine application. Refer to the Troubleshooting for more information on the Engine Monitoring System.

Electronic Engine Features

The engine and aftertreatment operating conditions

are monitored. The Electronic Control Module (ECM)

controls the response of the engine to these

conditions and to the demands of the operator. These

conditions and operator demands determine the

precise control of fuel injection by the ECM. The

electronic engine control system provides the

following features:

• Engine monitoring

• Engine speed governing

• Control of the injection pressure

• Cold start strategy

• Automatic air/fuel ratio control

• Torque rise shaping

• Injection timing control

• System diagnostics

• NOx reduction system control

• Aftertreatment system control

The ECM provides an electronic governor that

controls the injector output in order to maintain the

desired engine speed.

For more information on electronic engine features,

refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual,

“Features and Controls” topic (Operation Section).

Engine Diagnostics

The engine has built-in diagnostics in order to ensure

that the engine systems are functioning correctly. The

operator will be alerted to the condition by a “Stop or

Warning” lamp. Under certain conditions, the engine

horsepower and the vehicle speed may be limited.

The electronic service tool may be used to display the

diagnostic codes.

28 SEBU8732 General Information

Product Description

There are three types of diagnostic codes: active, logged and event.

Most of the diagnostic codes are logged and stored in the ECM. For additional information, refer to the

Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Engine Diagnostics” topic (Operation Section).

Engine Cooling and Lubrication

The cooling system and lubrication system consists of the following components:

• Gear-driven centrifugal water pump

• Water temperature regulator which regulates the

engine coolant temperature

• Gear-driven gerotor type oil pump

• Oil cooler

The engine lubricating oil is supplied by a gerotor type oil pump. The engine lubricating oil is cooled and the engine lubricating oil is filtered. The bypass valve can provide unrestricted flow of lubrication oil to the engine 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 this Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Maintenance Interval Schedule” for more

information on maintenance items.

When auxiliary devices, accessories, or consumables

(filters, additives, catalysts,) which are made by other

manufacturers are used on Perkins products, the

Perkins warranty is not affected simply because of

such use.

However, failures that result from the installation

or use of other manufacturers devices,

accessories, or consumables are NOT Perkins

defects. Therefore, the defects are NOT covered

under the Perkins warranty.

Aftertreatment System

The aftertreatment system is approved for use by

Perkins . In order to be emission-compliant only the

approved Perkins aftertreatment system must be

used on a Perkins engine.

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 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. For more information, refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Overhaul Considerations”

topic (Maintenance Section).
