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.

Proper grounding for the engine electrical system is necessary for optimum engine performance and reliability. Improper grounding will result in
uncontrolled electrical circuit paths and in unreliable electrical circuit paths.
Uncontrolled electrical circuit paths can result in damage to main bearings, to 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 properly, 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 starting motor ground, a starting motor ground to the frame, or a direct engine ground to the frame.
All 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.
i02583382
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) has the ability to 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, ACTION ALERT, and SHUTDOWN.
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:
•Atmospheric Pressure
•Inlet Manifold Pressure
•Coolant Temperature
•Engine Oil Pressure
•Crankshaft Position
•Camshaft Position
•Fuel Temperature

Very high injection pressures are produced by electronically controlled, mechanically actuated unit injectors. The injectors combine the pumping and the electronic fuel metering (duration and timing) during injection. The unit injectors accurately control smoke limiting, white smoke, and engine acceleration rates.
Engine efficiency, efficiency of emission controls, and engine performance depend on adherence to proper operation and maintenance recommendations. This includes the use of recommended fuels, coolants and lubrication oils.
There is one unit injector per cylinder. Individual unit injectors meter the fuel. The individual unit injectors also pump the fuel. The metering and the pumping is done under high pressure. High injection pressures help to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
The use of this type of unit injector provides total electronic control of injection timing. The injection timing varies with engine operating conditions. The engine performance is optimized in the following areas:
•Starting
•Emissions
•Noise
•Fuel consumption

Engines
When auxiliary devices, accessories, or consumables (filters, additives, catalysts, etc) 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.
The timing advance is achieved through precise control of the injector firing. Engine speed is controlled by adjusting the firing duration. The information is provided to the Electronic Control Module (ECM) by the crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft position sensor. The information is for detection of cylinder position and engine speed.
The engines have built-in diagnostics in order to ensure that all of the components are functioning and operating properly. In the event of a system component deviation from the programmed limits, the operator will be alerted to the condition by a DIAGNOSTIC lamp that is mounted on the control panel. An electronic service tool that is provided by Perkins may be used to read the numerical code of the diagnostic flash code. There are three types of diagnostic codes: ACTIVE, LOGGED, and EVENT. These codes are logged and stored in the ECM. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Engine Diagnostics” for additional information.
The cooling system consists of the following items: a centrifugal pump that is driven by a gear, water temperature regulator, an oil cooler, and a radiator that incorporates a shunt system.
The engine lubricating oil is supplied by a gear type pump. The engine lubricating oil is cooled and filtered. Bypass valves provide unrestricted flow of lubrication oil to the engine parts when the oil viscosity is high or if either the oil cooler or the oil filter elements (paper cartridge) become plugged.

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.
To remove the engine ONLY, use the lifting eyes that are on the engine.
Lifting eyes are designed and installed for specific engine arrangements. 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 dealer for information regarding fixtures for proper engine lifting.
Refer to Perkins Engine Company limited, Stafford for information on engine storage.
There is three different levels of engine storage. Level “A, B and C”.
Level “A ”
Level “A” will give protection for six month for diesel engines and protection for one year for gas engines. This is for engines that are transported by a container or a truck.
Level “B ”
This level is additional to level “A”. Level “B ” will give protection under normal storage condition from í15° to +55°C (5.0000° to 99.0000°F) and “90%” relative humidity for one year.
Level “C ”
This level is additional to level “B”. Level “C” will give protection for five year in tropical temperatures or arctic climates. Level “C” also meets MOD NES 724 level “J” for europe, when engines are stored in a unheated building or in the open under waterproof covers.

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 OEM information.
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 dealer or your Perkins distributor for assistance.
NOTICE
If no oil pressure is indicated, STOP the engine. If maximum coolant temperature is exceeded, STOP the engine. Engine damage can result.
Engine Oil Pressure – The range for the engine oil pressure is 420 kPa (61 psi).
Jacket Water Coolant Temperature –
Typical water temperature into the engine is 88 °C (190 °F). Higher temperatures
may occur under certain conditions. The water temperature reading may vary according to load. The reading should never exceed 107 °C (224 °F).
1.A high water temperature switch is installed in the cooling system.
Tachometer – This gauge indicates engine speed (rpm).
Ammeter – This gauge indicates the amount of charge or discharge in the battery charging circuit. Operation of the
indicator should be to the right side of “0” (zero).
Service Hour Meter – The gauge indicates operating hours of the engine.
