INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Manual is to enable the operator to carry out routine servicing of the engine.
Before undertaking any work on the engine the appropriate section in the Workshop Manual should be read
fully and completely understood prior to starting work.
The informationcontained withinthe manual is based on such information as was available at the time of going
to print. In line with Perkins Engines (Stafford) Limited policy of continual development and improvement that
information may change at any time without notice. The engine user should therefore ensure that he has the
latest information before starting work.
The instructions contained in this manual will, provided that they are correctly carried out, ensure the safe
operation of the equipment.
Users are respectfully advised that it is their responsibility to employ competent persons to operate, maintain
and service the equipment in the interest of safety.
Certain overhaul operations are impracticable without the use of special tools, and those operators who are
not equipped to undertake major repairs are urged to consult their Perkins distributor.
When not working on the engine, ensure that all covers, blank flanges, doors, etc., are refitted to openings to
prevent the ingress of dirt,etc.
Please quote the engine type and serial number with all your enquiries. This will help us to help you. The type
and serial number are on a plate fitted to the crankcase.
If any doubt exists regarding the installation, use or application of the engine, the Installation Manual should
be consulted for further advice contact Applications Department at Perkins Engines (Stafford) Ltd.
Oil change intervals may be changed according to operating experience by agreement with Perkins Engines
(Stafford) Limited and subject to oil analysis being carried out at regular intervals.
Please note that this 4000 Series manual also covers SE engines dispatched from the factory from 1 March
1996. A table of equivalent engine designations is given on page 2.

SAFETY
Engine lift equipment
Use onlythe lift equipment which is designed
for the engine.
Use lift equipment or obtain assistance to lift
heavy engine components such as the
cylinderblock,cylinderhead,flywheel
housing, crankshaft and flywheel.
Check the engine lift brackets for security
before the engine is lifted.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fig. 1
Asbestos joints
Somejointsandgasketscontain
compressed asbestos fibres see WarninglabelFig.1in a rubber compound or in a
metal outer cover.The 'white' asbestos
(Chrysotile) which is used is a safer type of
asbestos and the danger of damage to
health is extremely small.
Contact with asbestos particles normally
occurs at joint edges or where a joint is
damaged during removal, or where a joint is
removed by an abrasive method.
To ensure that the risk is kept to a minimum,
theproceduresgivenbelowmustbe
followedwhenanenginewhichhas
asbestos joints is dismantled or assembled.
●
Work in an area with good ventilation.
●
Do NOT smoke.
●
Useahandscrapertoremovethejoints
- do NOT use a rotary wire brush.
●
Ensure that the joint to be removed is
wet withoil or water tocontain any loose
particles.
●
Sprayall asbestos debriswithwater and
placeitinaclosedcontainerwhichcan
be sealed for safe disposal.
Dangers from used engine oils
Prolongedandrepeated contact withmineral
oil will result in the removal of natural oils
from the skin, leading to dryness, irritation
anddermatitis.Theoilalsocontains
potentially harmful contaminants which may
result in skin cancer.
Adequate means of skin protection and
washing facilitiesshould be readilyavailable.
The following is a list of 'Health Protection
Precautions', suggested to minimise the risk
of contamination.
1.Avoid prolonged and repeated contact
with used engine oils.
2.Wearprotectiveclothing,including
impervious gloves where applicable.
3.Do not put oily rags into pockets.
4.Avoidcontaminatingclothes,
particularly underwear, with oil.
5.Overalls must be cleaned regularly.
Discard unwashable clothing and oil
impregnated footwear.
6.First aid treatment should be obtained
immediately for open cuts and wounds.
7.Apply barrier creams before eachperiod
of work to aid the removal of mineral oil
from the skin.
8.Wash with soap and hot water, or
alternatively use a skin cleanser and a
nail brush, to ensure that all oil is
removed from the skin.Preparations
containing lanolin will help replace the
naturalskin oilswhich havebeen
removed.
9.Do NOT use petrol, kerosene, diesel
fuel, gas oil, thinners or solvents for
washing the skin.
10. If skin disorder appears, medical advice
must be taken.
11. Degrease components before handling
if practicable.
12. Where there is the possibility of a risk to
the eyes, goggles or a face shield
should be worn.An eye wash facility
should be readily available.
4006/8 Diesel, May 19985
GENERAL INFORMATION
California Proposition 65 Warning
Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents
are known to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects, and other reproductive harm. Battery
posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead
and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.
Environmental protection
Thereislegislationtoprotectthe
environment from the incorrect disposal of
used lubricating oil. To ensure that the
environment is protected, consult your Local
Authority who can give advice.
Viton seals
Somesealsusedinenginesandin
components fitted to engines are made from
Viton.
Viton is used by many manufacturers and is
a safe material under normal conditions of
operation.
If Viton is burned, a product of this burnt
material is an acid which is extremely
dangerous. Never allow this burnt material
to come into contact with the skin or with the
eyes.
If it is necessary to come into contact with
components which have been burnt, ensure
that the precautions which follow are used:
●
Ensurethatthecomponentshave
cooled.
●
Use Neoprene gloves and discard the
gloves safely after use.
●
Wash the area with a calcium hydroxide
solution and then with clean water.
●
Disposal of gloves and components
which are contaminated, must be in
accordance with local regulations.
Practical Information
To clean components
It is important that the workarea is keptclean
and that the components are protected from
dirt and other debris. Ensure that dirt does
not contaminate the fuel system.
Before a component is removed from the
engine, clean around the component and
ensurethatallopenings,disconnected
hoses and pipes are sealed.
Remove, clean and inspecteach component
carefully. If it is usable, put it in a clean dry
place until needed. Ball and roller bearings
mustbe cleanedthoroughlyand inspected.If
the bearings are usable, they must be
flushed in low viscosity oiland protected with
clean paper until needed.
Before the components are assembled,
ensurethat thearea is freefrom dustand dirt
aspossible.Inspecteachcomponent
immediately before it is fitted, wash all pipes
and ports and pass dry compressed air
through them before connections are made.
Use suitable gloves for protection when
components are degreased or cleaned with
trichloroethylene,whitespirit,etc.
Degreasing solutions which are basically
trichloroethane are not recommended
If there is contamination of the skin or eyes,
wash the affected area with a continuous
supply of clean water or with a calcium
hydroxide solution for 15-60 minutes. Obtain
immediate medical attention.
