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.

SEBU8726

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 6	g00702022
Perkins	replacement parts that are shipped from
Perkins	are 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:

SEBU8726

•Never use compressed air for cleaning.

•Avoid brushing materials that contain asbestos.

•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.

Dispose of Waste Properly

Safety Section

High Pressure Fuel Lines

Illustration 11
(1) High-pressure line	(3) High-pressure line
(2) High-pressure line	(4) High-pressure line

The high-pressure fuel lines are the fuel lines that are between the high-pressure fuel pump and the highpressure fuel manifold and the fuel lines that are between the fuel manifold and cylinder head. These

fuel lines are different from fuel lines on other fuel systems.

These differences are because of the following items:

•The high-pressure fuel lines are constantly charged with high pressure.

•The internal pressures of the high-pressure fuel lines are higher than other types of fuel system.

•The high-pressure fuel lines are formed to shape and then strengthened by a special process.

Do not step on the high-pressure fuel lines. Do not deflect the high-pressure fuel lines. Do not bend or strike the high-pressure fuel lines. Deformation or damage of the high-pressure fuel lines may cause a point of weakness and potential failure.

Do not check the high-pressure fuel lines with the engine or the starting motor in operation. After the engine has stopped wait for 10 minutes in order to allow the fuel pressure to be purged from the highpressure fuel lines before any service or repair is performed.

Do not loosen the high-pressure fuel lines in order to remove air from the fuel system. This procedure is not required.

Visually inspect the high-pressure fuel lines before the engine is started. This inspection should be each day.

General Information

Product Description

Electronic Engine Features

The engine 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 monitoring

•Engine speed governing

•Control of the injection pressure

•Cold start strategy

•Automatic air/fuel ratio control

•Torque rise shaping

•Injection timing control

•System diagnostics

•Aftertreatment Regeneration

For more information on electronic engine features, refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Features and Controls” topic (Operation Section).

Engine Diagnostics

The engine has built-in diagnostics in order to ensure that the engine systems are functioning correctly. The operator will be alerted to the condition by a “Stop or Warning” lamp. Under certain conditions, the engine horsepower and the vehicle speed may be limited.

The electronic service tool may be used to display the diagnostic codes.

There are three types of diagnostic codes: active, logged and event.

Most of the diagnostic codes are logged and stored in

the ECM. For additional information, refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Engine

Diagnostics” topic (Operation Section).

The ECM provides an electronic governor that controls the injector output in order to maintain the desired engine rpm.

Engine Cooling and Lubrication

The cooling system and lubrication system consists of the following components:

SEBU8726

Typical example

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.

SEBU8726

Some removals require lifting the fixtures in order to obtain correct 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 correct lifting devices are provided. Consult your

Perkins dealer or your Perkins distributor for information regarding fixtures for correct engine lifting.

Note: The engine is equipped with three lifting eyes. All the lifting eyes must be used in order to lift the engine.
