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.

Engine Electronics
Tampering with the electronic system installation or the OEM wiring installation can be dangerous and could result in personal injury or death and/or engine damage.
This engine has a comprehensive, programmable Engine Monitoring System. The Engine Control Module (ECM) will monitor 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 and SHUTDOWN. These engine monitoring modes can limit engine speed and/or the engine power.
Many of the parameters that are monitored by the ECM can be programmed for the engine monitoring functions. The following parameters can be monitored as a part of the Engine Monitoring System:
•Operating Altitude
•Engine Coolant Level
•Engine Coolant Temperature
•Engine Oil Pressure
•Engine Speed
•Fuel Temperature
•Intake Manifold Air Temperature
•System Voltage
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 Manual for more information.

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.

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.
