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.

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.

Illustration 7 g00687600

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.

Containing Fluid Spillage

Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are
contained during performance of inspection,

maintenance, testing, adjusting, and repair of the
product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable
containers before opening any compartment or
disassembling any component containing fluids.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations
and mandates.

Static Electricity Hazard when
Fueling with Ultra-low Sulfur Diesel
Fuel

The removal of sulfur and other compounds in ultra­low sulfur diesel fuel (ULSD fuel) decreases the
conductivity of ULSD and increases the ability of
ULSD to store static charge. Refineries may have
treated the fuel with a static dissipating additive.
Many factors can reduce the effectiveness of the
additive over time. Static charges can build up in
ULSD fuel while the fuel is flowing through fuel
delivery systems. Static electricity discharge when
combustible vapors are present could result in a fire
or explosion. Ensure that the entire system used to
refuel your machine (fuel supply tank, transfer pump,
transfer hose, nozzle, and others) is properly
grounded and bonded. Consult with your fuel or fuel
system supplier to ensure that the delivery system
complies with fueling standards for proper grounding
and bonding.

M0068760 9

Safety Section

General Hazard Information

• Avoid brushing materials that contain asbestos.

Avoid static electricity risk when fueling. Ultra­low sulfur diesel fuel (ULSD fuel) poses a greater
static ignition hazard than earlier diesel formula­tions with a higher sulfur contents. Avoid death
or serious injury from fire or explosion. Consult
with your fuel or fuel system supplier to ensure
the delivery system is in compliance with fueling
standards for proper grounding and bonding
practices.

Inhalation

• Avoid grinding materials that contain asbestos.

• Use a wet method in order to clean up asbestos
materials.

• A vacuum cleaner that is equipped with a high
efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA) can also be
used.

• Use exhaust ventilation on permanent machining
jobs.

• Wear an approved respirator if there is no other
way to control the dust.

• Comply with applicable rules and regulations for
the work place. In the United States, use
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) requirements. These OSHA requirements
can be found in “29 CFR 1910.1001”.

• Obey environmental regulations for the disposal of
asbestos.

• Stay away from areas that might have asbestos
particles in the air.

asbestos free. Perkins recommends the use of only
genuine Perkins replacement parts. Use the following
guidelines when you handle any replacement parts
that contain asbestos or when you handle asbestos
debris.

Use caution. Avoid inhaling dust that might be
generated when you handle components that contain
asbestos fibers. Inhaling this dust can be hazardous
to your health. The components that may contain
asbestos fibers are brake pads, brake bands, lining
material, clutch plates, and some gaskets. The
asbestos that is used in these components is usually
bound in a resin or sealed in some way. Normal
handling is not hazardous unless airborne dust that
contains asbestos is generated.

If dust that may contain asbestos is present, there
are several guidelines that should be followed:

• Never use compressed air for cleaning.

Illustration 9 g00706404

Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the
environment. Potentially harmful fluids should be
disposed of according to local regulations.

To ensure that the jacket water heater (if equipped) is
working correctly, check the water temperature
gauge and/or the oil temperature gauge during the
heater operation.

Engine exhaust contains products of combustion
which can be harmful to your health. Always start the
engine and operate the engine in a well ventilated
area. If the engine is started in an enclosed area,
vent the engine exhaust to the outside.

Note: The engine may be equipped with a device for
cold starting. If the engine will be operated in very
cold conditions, then an extra cold starting aid may
be required. Normally, the engine will be equipped
with the correct type of starting aid for your region of
operation.

Electrical System

Do not start an engine when the governor linkage is
disconnected.

Do not bypass the automatic shutoff circuits. Do not
disable the automatic shutoff circuits. The circuits are

provided in order to help prevent personal injury. The
circuits are also provided in order to help prevent
engine damage.

Never disconnect any charging unit circuit or battery
circuit cable from the battery when the charging unit
is operating. A spark can cause the combustible
gases that are produced by some batteries to ignite.

14 M0068760
Safety Section

Engine Electronics

To help prevent sparks from igniting combustible
gases that are produced by some batteries, the
negative “−” jump-start cable should be connected
last from the external power source to the negative
“−” terminal of the starting motor. If the starting motor
is not equipped with a negative “−” terminal, connect
the jump-start cable to the engine block.

Check the electrical wires daily for wires that are
loose or frayed. Tighten all loose electrical wires
before the engine is started. Repair all frayed
electrical wires before the engine is started. Refer to
the “Engine Starting” section of this Operation and
Maintenance Manual for specific starting instructions.

Grounding Practices

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.

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.

i06091234

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.

Electronic Engine Features

The engine is designed for electronic controls. The
integral on board computer controls the operation of
the engine. Current 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 speed governor

• Automatic air/fuel ratio control

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

topic.

Product Lifting

Illustration 25 g00103219

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 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 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

(Engine and Aftertreatment)

Your Perkins distributor can help in preparing the
engine for extended storage periods.

Some applications, the engine can be equipped with
delayed engine shutdown. Allow at least 2 minutes
after the engine has stopped before you turn the
battery disconnect switch to OFF. Disconnecting the
battery power too soon will prevent purging of the
DEF fluid lines after the engine is shut down. Also,
during the 2 minutes the engine electronic control
module is active storing information from the engine
and aftertreatment sensors.

Condition for Storage

An engine can be stored for up to 6 months provided
all the recommendation are adhered to.

26 M0068760
Operation Section

Engine and Aftertreatment

Engine

1. Clean the engine of any dirt, rust, grease, and oil.

Inspect the exterior. Paint areas that contain paint
damage with a good quality paint.

2. Remove dirt from the air cleaners. Check all seals,
gaskets, and the filter element for damage.

3. Apply lubricant to all points in this Operation and
Maintenance Manual, “Maintenance Interval
Schedule”.

4. Drain the crankcase oil. Replace the crankcase oil
and change the oil filters. For the proper
procedure, refer to this Operation and
Maintenance Manual.

5. Add Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) oil to the
crankcase oil. The volume of VCI oil in the
crankcase oil should be 3 to 4 percent.

Note: If the engine crankcase is full, drain enough
engine oil so the mixture can be added.

6. Remove the air filter elements. Turn the engine at
cranking speed with the throttle control in FUEL
OFF position. Use a sprayer to add a mixture of 50
percent VCI oil and 50 percent engine oil into the
air inlet or turbocharger inlet.

Note: The mixture of VCI oil can be added to the inlet
by removing the plug for checking turbocharger boost
pressure. The minimum application rate for the VCI
oil mixture is 5.5 mL per L (3 oz per 1000 cu in) of
engine displacement.

7. Use a sprayer to apply a mixture of 50 percent VCI
oil and 50 percent crankcase oil into the exhaust
openings. The minimum application rate for the oil
mixture is 5.5 mL per L (3 oz per 1000 cu in) of
engine displacement. Seal the exhaust pipe and
seal any drain holes in the muffler.

8. Remove the fuel from the secondary fuel filter
housing. Alternately, empty and reinstall the spin­on fuel filter element to remove any dirt and water.
Drain any sleeve metering fuel pump.

Clean the primary fuel filter. Fill with calibration
fluid or kerosene. Install the primary fuel filter and
operate the priming pump. This procedure will
send clean oil to the secondary filter and the
engine.

Open the fuel tank drain valve to drain any water
and dirt from the fuel tank. Apply a spray of
calibration fluid or kerosene at the rate of

30 mL per 30 L (1 oz per 7.50 gal US) of fuel tank
capacity to prevent rust in the fuel tank. Add

0.15 mL per L (.02 oz per 1 gal US) of commercial
biocide such as Biobor JF to the fuel.

Apply a small amount of oil to the threads on the
fuel tank filler neck and install the cap. Seal all
openings to the tank to prevent evaporation of the
fuel and as a preservative.

9. Remove the fuel injectors. Apply 30 mL (1 oz) of
the mixture of oils (50 percent VCI oil and 50
percent engine oil) into each cylinder.

Use a bar or a turning tool to turn over the engine
slowly. This procedure puts the oil on the cylinder
walls. Install all fuel injectors and tighten to the
correct torque. Refer to Disassembly and
Assembly Manual for more information.

10. Spray a thin amount of a mixture of 50 percent
VCI oil and 50 percent engine oil onto the following
components: flywheel, ring gear teeth, and starter
pinion. Install the covers to prevent evaporation of
the vapors from the VCI oil.

11. Apply a heavy amount of Multipurpose Grease to
all outside parts that move, such as rod threads,
ball joints, linkage.

Note: Install all covers. Ensure that tape has been
installed over all openings, air inlets, exhaust
openings, the flywheel housing, the crankcase
breathers, the dipstick tubes.

Ensure that all covers are airtight and
weatherproof. Use a waterproof weather resistant
tape such as Kendall No. 231 or an equivalent. Do
not use duct tape. Duct tape will only seal for a
short time.

12. Under most conditions, removing the batteries is
the best procedure. As an alternative, place the
batteries in storage. As needed, periodically
charge the batteries whilst the batteries are in
storage.

If the batteries are not removed, wash the tops of
the batteries until the tops are clean. Apply an
electrical charge to the batteries to obtain a
specific gravity of 1.225.

Disconnect the battery terminals. Place a plastic
cover over the batteries.

13. Remove the drive belts from the engine

14. Place a waterproof cover over the engine. Ensure

that the engine cover is secure. The cover should
be loose enough to allow air to circulate around
the engine to prevent damage from condensation.

15. Attach a tag with the storage date to the engine.

16. Remove the waterproof cover at 2 month or 3-

month intervals to check the engine for corrosion.
If the engine has signs of corrosion, repeat the
protection procedure.
