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.

SEBU9070

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.

,

design.

The engine lubricating oil that is supplied is cooled.

 

The engine lubricating oil is also filtered. Bypass

 

valves provide unrestricted flow of lubrication oil to

 

the engine components during the following

 

conditions:

 

• High oil viscosity

 

• Plugged oil cooler or plugged oil filter element

 

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.

24

SEBU9070

General Information

Product Description

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 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.

Aftermarket Products and Perkins

Engines

Perkins does not warrant the quality or performance of non-Perkins fluids and filters.

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 NOTcovered under the Perkins warranty.

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.

Lifting eyes are designed and installed for the specific engine arrangement. 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 distributor for information regarding fixtures for proper engine lifting.

Features and Controls

Gauges and Indicators

Features and Controls

i05952344

Gauges and Indicators

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 literature that is provided by the OEM.

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 distributor or the Perkins dealer for assistance.

Engine Oil Pressure – Typical oil pressure for an engine at rated speed with SAE 10W30 or with SAE 15W40 is

240 to 480 kPa (35 to 70 psi).

Engine Oil Temperature – This gauge indicates the engine oil temperature. An oil temperature that is higher than

normal indicates a heat problem in the lubrication system and/or the cooling system. This problem can damage the cylinder heads, the cylinder liners, the pistons, and the crankshaft bearings.

Jacket Water Coolant Temperature – Typical temperature range is 88 to 102 °C (190 to 215 °F). The maximum allowable

temperature with the pressurized cooling system is 105 °C (220 °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 or steam becomes apparent, perform the following procedure:

1.Reduce the engine load .

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.

SEBU9070

Pressurized System: Hot coolant can cause serious burns. To open the cooling system filler cap, stop the engine and wait until the cooling system components are cool. Loosen the cooling system pressure cap slowly in order to relieve the pressure.

4. Check the coolant level.

Tachometer – This gauge indicates engine speed. 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.

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

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

Service Hour Meter – This gauge indicates the total number of clock hours of engine operation. Hours of operation

are logged in the ECM. A service tool is needed to retrieve the hours from the ECM. A Service Hour Meter may be installed on the engine.

Fuel Level – This gauge indicates the level of fuel in the fuel tank. The fuel level gauge registers the fuel level only

when the ignition switch is in the ON position.

Warning Indicators

There are two warning lamps available.

Warning Lamp

Shutdown Lamp

Instrument Panels and Displays

In order to monitor the engine a wide verity of instrument panels are available. These instrument panels can contain the indicator lamps and the gauges for the application.

Also available are mini power displays and performance monitors.
