exterior of the radiator, if necessary.
Warnings!
During the use of high pressure air, wear a protective face shield and protective clothing.
Maximum air pressure at the nozzle must be less than 205 kPa (30 psi) for cleaning purposes.
Use a high pressure air jet to remove loose debris. Direct the air in the opposite direction to the fan's air flow.
Hold the nozzle approximately 6 mm (0.25 in) away from the fins. Move the air nozzle slowly in a direction that
is parallel with the tubes to remove debris from between them.
A high pressure water jet may also be used to clean the radiator. The maximum water pressure for cleaning
purposes must be less than 275 kPa (40 psi) 2,8 kg/cm . Do not hold the nozzle too close to the radiator as
the fins can be damaged. Use pressurized water to soften mud. Clean the core from both sides.
Use a degreaser and steam for the removal of oil and grease. Clean both sides of the core. Wash the core with
detergent and hot water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
After the radiator has been c leaned, start the engine and run it at high idle speed. This will help to dry the core
and remove debris. Stop the engine and use a light bulb, held behind the core, to inspect for cleanliness. Clean
again, if necessary.
Inspect the fins for damage. Check the condition of the welds, the mounting brackets, the connections and
seals. Arrange for repairs as necessary.
How to inspect the engine mountings
Inspect the engine mountings. Check for damage or deterioration and check that the bolts are tightened to the
correct torque. Note that engine v ibration can be caused by:
Incorrect mounting of the engine.
Deterioration of the engine mounts.
If an engine mount shows signs of deterioration, it must be renewed.

How to drain the coolant system
2800 Series
Warnings!
Do not remove the coolant filler cap while the engine is still hot and the system is under pressure because
dangerous hot coolant can be discharged.
Discard used coolant in a safe place and in accordance with local regulations.
1 Stop the engine and allow the engine to cool. Loosen slowly the filler cap of the coolant system to relieve
any pressure. Remove the filler cap.
2 Open the drain valve of the coolant system (if fitted). If the coolant system is not fitted with a drain valve,
disconnect the lowest coolant hose.
3 Allow the coolant to drain.
How to clean the coolant system
Warning! Discard used coolant in a safe place and in accordance with local regulations.
1 Drain the coolant system, see "How to drain the coolant system" on page 38.
2 Flush the coolant system with clean water.
3 Fill the coolant system, see "How to fill the coolant system" on page 38.
How to fill the coolant system
Cautions:
To av oid air locks, the coolant system must be filled at a rate not faster than 19 L (4.2 UK gal) per minute.
If the recommended coolant and procedures are not used, Perkins Engines Company Limited cannot be
held responsible for damage caused by frost or corrosion or for loss of cooling efficiency.
1 Fill the coolant system with POWERPART ELC (Extended Life Coolant), see "Coolant" on page 51. Do not
fit the filler cap.
2 Start and run the engine at idle for 1 minute to eliminate air from the cavities of the engine block. Stop the
engine.
3 Check the coolant level. Maintain the coolant level at the bottom of the filler pipe in the expansion tank.
4 Clean the filler cap of the coolant system. Inspect the gasket on the filler cap. If the gasket is damaged,
renew the filler cap. If the gasket is not damaged, use a proprietary pressure test kit to perform a test on the
filler cap. The correct pressure for the filler c ap is stamped on its face. If the filler cap does not retain the correct
pressure, fit a new filler cap.
5 Start the engine. Inspect the coolant system for leaks and for c orrect temperature of operation.
