Introduction

The Peregrine EDi and the 1300 Series EDi are a family of turbocharged engines that have an electronic

management system. The Peregrine EDi engines are designed for automotive applications and the 1300

Series EDi engines are designed for industrial and agricultural applications. The Peregrine EDi and the 1300

Series EDi engines are from Perkins Engines Limited, a world leader in the design and manufacture of high-

performance diesel engines.

Perkins approved assembly and quality standards, together with the latest technology, have been applied to

the manufacture of your engine to give you reliable and economic power.

Most of the general information which is included in the relevant User’s Handbook (Chapters 1 to 6) has not

been repeated in this Workshop Manual and the two publications should be used together.

To ensure that you use the relevant information for your specific engine type, refer to "Engine identification"

on page 3.

Where the information applies only to certain engine types, this is indicated in the text by use of the engine

model code letters, refer to "Engine identification" on page 3.

When reference is made to the "left" or "right" side of the engine, this is as seen from the flywheel end of the

engine.

Special tools have been made available and a list of these is given in Chapter 16, Special tools. Reference to

the relevant special tools is also made at the beginning of each operation.

Data and dimensions are included in Chapter 2, Specifications.

Read and remember the "Safety precautions" on page 4. They are given for your protection and must be used

at all times.

Danger is indicated in the text by two methods:

Warning! This indicates that there is a possible danger to the person.

Caution: This indicates that there is a possible danger to the engine.

Note: Is used where the information is important, but there is not a danger.

Engine identification

The engines consist of a range of six cylinder in-line engines, which are turbocharged or turbocharged /

intercooled. These engines have an electronic management system.

In this publication, the different engine types are indicated by their code letters, which are the first two letters

of the engine number as indicated below:

The engine number is stamped on the left side of the cylinder block (A1), behind the high pressure pump.

An example of an engine number is WK1296N123456B.

The components of the engine number are as follows:

WK1296N123456B

WK = Model code letters

1296 = Build list number

N = Built in the USA

123456 = Engine serial number

B = Year of manufacture

If you need parts, service or information for your engine, you must give the complete engine number to your

Perkins distributor.

Safety precautions

These safety precautions are important. You must refer also to the local regulations in the country of use.

Some items only apply to specific applications.

l   Only use these engines in the type of application for which they have been designed.

l   Do not change the specification of the engine.

l   Do not smoke when you put fuel in the tank.

l   Clean away fuel which has been spilt. Material which has been contaminated by fuel must be moved to a

safe place.

l   Do not put fuel in the tank while the engine runs (unless it is absolutely necessary).

l   Do not clean, add lubricating oil, or adjust the engine while it runs (unless you have had the correct training;

even then extreme caution must be used to prevent injury).

l   Do not make adjustments that you do not understand.

l   Ensure that the engine does not run in a location where it can cause a concentration of toxic emissions.

l   Other persons must be kept at a safe distance while the engine or auxiliary equipment is in operation.

l   Do not permit loose clothing or long hair near moving parts.

l   Keep away from moving parts during engine operation.

Warning! Some moving parts cannot be seen clearly while the engine runs.

l   Do not operate the engine if a safety guard has been removed.

l   Do not remove the filler cap or any component of the cooling system while the engine is hot and while the

coolant is under pressure, because dangerous hot coolant can be discharged.

l   Do not use salt water or any other coolant which can cause corrosion in the closed coolant circuit.

l   Do not allow sparks or fire near the batteries (especially when the batteries are on charge) because the

gases from the electrolyte are highly flammable. The battery fluid is dangerous to the skin and especially

to the eyes.

l   Disconnect the battery terminals before a repair is made to the electrical system.

l   Only one person must control the engine.

l   Ensure that the engine is operated only from the control panel or from the operator’s position.

l   Discard used lubricating oil in a safe place to prevent contamination.

l   Ensure that the control lever of the transmission drive is in the "out-of-drive" position before the engine is

started.

l   The combustible material of some components of the engine (for example certain seals) can become

extremely dangerous if it is burned. Never allow this burnt material to come into contact with the skin or with

the eyes.

l   Diesel fuel and lubricating oil (especially used lubricating oil) can damage the skin of certain persons.

Protect your hands with gloves or a special solution to protect the skin.

l   Do not wear clothing which is contaminated by lubricating oil. Do not put material which is contaminated

with oil into the pockets of clothing.

l   Discard used lubricating oil in accordance with local regulations to prevent contamination.

l   Use extreme care if emergency repairs must be made in adverse conditions.

l   Always use a safety cage to protect the operator when a component is to be pressure tested in a container

of water. Fit safety wires to secure the plugs which seal the hose connections of a component which is to

be pressure tested.

l   Do not allow compressed air to contact your skin. If compressed air enters your skin, obtain medical help

immediately.

l   Turbochargers operate at high speed and at high temperatures. Keep fingers, tools and debris away from

the inlet and outlet ports of the turbocharger and prevent contact with hot surfaces.

l   The fuel injector units of this engine are controlled electronically by a pulse of 110 volts.

l   The fuel injector units are actuated by high-pressure engine lubricating oil. Do not remove any component

of the high-pressure system while the engine oil is under pressure, because dangerous oil can be

discharged.

l   Fit only genuine Perkins parts.

Asbestos joints

The engines are asbestos free.

Engine lift equipment

l   The maximum weight of the engine without coolant, lubricant or a gearbox fitted will vary for different

applications, it is recommended that lift equipment with a minimum capacity of 770 kg (1700 lbs) is used.

l   Always use engine lift equipment of the approved type and of the correct capacity to lift the engine. It is

recommended that lift equipment of the type shown in (A) is used, to provide a vertical lift directly above

the engine lift brackets. Never use a single lift bracket to raise an engine.

l   Check the engine lift brackets for damage and security before the engine is lifted.

l   Use lift equipment or obtain assistance to lift heavy engine components such as the cylinder block, cylinder

head, flywheel housing, crankshaft and flywheel.

l   To avoid possible damage to the engine rocker cover by contact from the lift equipment, use the correct lift

equipment (A) to raise the engine.
