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.
When replacement parts are required for this
product Perkins recommends using Perkins

NOTICE
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and
mandates.

Always use a board or cardboard when you check
for a leak. Leaking fluid that is under pressure can
penetrate body tissue. Fluid penetration can cause
serious injury and possible death. A pin hole leak can
cause severe injury. If fluid is injected into your skin,
you must get treatment immediately. Seek treatment
from a doctor that is familiar with this type of injury.

Personal injury can result from oil under high

DO NOT allow high pressure oil to contact skin.
Wear appropriate protective equipment while
working with high pressure oil systems.
The high-pressure oil line is the line that is between
the high-pressure oil pump and the high-pressure oil
manifold within the cylinder head. This high-pressure
line is different from fuel lines on other fuel systems.
These differences are because of the following items:
The high-pressure oil line is constantly charged
•
with high pressure.
The internal pressure of the high-pressure oil line
•
is higher than other types of fuel systems.
Do not step on the high-pressure oil line. Do not
deflect the high-pressure oil line. Do not bend or
strike the high-pressure oil line. Deformation or
damage of the high-pressure oil line may cause a
point of weakness and potential failure.
Do not check the high-pressure oil line with the
engine or the starting motor in operation. After the
engine has stopped, wait 10 minutes in order to allow
the pressure to be purged from the high-pressure oil
line, before any service or repair is performed.
Visually inspect the high-pressure oil line before the
engine is started. This inspection should be each day.

Before Starting Engine
Before the initial start-up of an engine that is new,
serviced or repaired, make provision to shut the
engine off, in order to stop an overspeed. This may
be accomplished by shutting off the air and/or fuel
supply to the engine.
Overspeed shutdown should occur automatically for
engines that are controlled electronically. If automatic
shutdown does not occur, press the emergency stop
button in order to cut the fuel and/or air to the engine.
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”.
Inspect the high-pressure oil line for damage,
•
deformation, a nick, a cut, a crease, or a dent.
Inspect the engine for potential hazards.
Before starting the engine, ensure that no one is on,
underneath, or close to the engine. Ensure that the
area is free of personnel.
If equipped, ensure that the lighting system for the
engine is suitable for the conditions. Ensure that all
lights work correctly, if equipped.

Correct grounding for the engine electrical system
is necessary for optimum engine performance
and reliability. Incorrect grounding will result in
uncontrolled electrical circuit paths and in unreliable
electrical circuit paths.
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 with
a wire that is adequate to handle the full charging
current of the alternator.

The diesel fuel
is drawn from the fuel tank into a
strainer and into a fuel pump. The fuel pump sends
the fuel into the main fuel filter. From the main fuel
filter the fuel
is sent internally to the fuel injectors by
means of an internal fuel manifold. The fuel injectors
use engine lubricating oil from a high-pressure
pump in order
to increase the injection pressure.
The injectors are controlled by the engine electronic
control module (ECM).

NOTICE
If the Warning/Derate/Shutdown mode has been
selected and the warning indicator activates,
bring the engine to a stop whenever possible. Depending on the application, special precautions
should be taken to avoid personal injury.
The engine can be programmed to the following
modes:
“Warning”
The orange “Warning” lamp will turn “ON” and the
warning signal is activated continuously in order to
alert the operator that one or more of the engine
parameters is not within normal operating range.
“Derate”
The engine will be derated if the engine exceeds
preset operational limits. The engine derate is
achieved by restricting the amount of fuel that is
available for each injection. The amount of this
reduction of fuel is dependent on the severity of the
fault that has caused the engine derate, typically up
to a limit of 50%. This reduction in fuel results in a
predetermined reduction in engine power.
“Shutdown”
The orange warning will turn “ON” and the red
shutdown lamp will also turn “ON”.
