Safety precautions
These safety precautions are important.
Reference must also be made to the local regulations in the country of operation.
z Do not use salt water or any other coolant which can cause corrosion in the cooling system.
z Do not change the specification of the engine. Do not allow sparks or fire near the batteries (especially
when the batteries are on charge) as the gases from the electrolyte are highly flammable. The battery fluid
is dangerous to the skin and especially to the eyes.
z Keep away from naked flames, hot exhaust pipes and sparks when working with gaseous fuels and when
conducting fuel tests.
z Do not smoke when you are on or near the gas pipes or system.
z Do not replenish the gas supply while the engine runs.
z Disconnect the battery terminals before you make a repair to the electrical system.
z Beware of electric shocks from the high tension current in the ignition system. Shocks from this system can
propel limbs into moving machinery.
z Never clean, add lubricating oil to, or adjust the engine while it runs (unless you have had the correct
training, when extreme caution must be used to prevent injury).
z 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.
z Do not wear clothing which is contaminated by lubricating oil Do not put material which is contaminated
with oil into the pockets.
z Fuel and oil pipes must be inspected for cracks or damage before they are fitted to the engine.
z Discard used lubricating oil in a safe place to prevent contamination.
z Only one person must control the engine. Ensure that the engine is operated only from the control panel or
from the operator's position.
z Do not make any adjustments that you do not understand.
z Ensure that the engine is not in a position to cause a concentration of toxic emissions.
z Other people must be kept at a safe distance while the engine is operated.
z Do not permit loose clothing or long hair near parts which move.
z Keep away from parts which move during engine operation.
Warning! The fan cannot be seen clearly while the engine runs.
z Do not operate the engine if one or more of the safety guards have been removed.
z Do not remove the coolant caps while the engine is hot and while the coolant is under pressure, because
dangerous hot coolant can be discharged.
z 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.
z Fit only genuine Perkins parts.

How to care for your engine
This handbook has been written to assist you to maintain and operate the engine correctly.
To obtain the best performance and the longest life from your engine, you must ensure that the maintenance
operations are done at the intervals given in Chapter 4, Preventive maintenance.
If the engine is operated in very dusty or other adverse conditions, certain maintenance intervals will have to
be reduced. Change the filter elements and lubricating oil regularly to ensure that the inside of your engine
remains clean.
Ensure that all adjustments and repairs are done by personnel who have had the correct training.
The left and right sides of the engine are as seen from the rear (flywheel) end.
Read and remember the "Safety precautions" on page 2. They are given for your protection and must be
applied at all times.
Engine preservation
All new or reconditioned engines leaving the factory have been treated with corrosion inhibitors to Perkins
standards. Each engine may be stored under cover, in dry conditions, for a period of up to 12 months from the
date of despatch from the factory, without the need for further inhibition.
Should the storage period exceed 12 months, the engine must be thoroughly examined and re- inhibited. For
further details contact Perkins Engines Company Limited.

Routine procedure with a new or an overhauled engine
Gas quality and type will have a major effect on the performance and reliability of the engine. It is imperative
that all Perkins spark ignited engines are commissioned by Perkins approved installers, to ensure correct and
safe operation of the equipment.
Refer to Chapter 5, Engine systems which outlines the safeguards required for the fuel and lubricating oil
systems.
1 Check that all wrappings and sealing blanks have been removed.
2 Refit any components removed for storage or transportation.
3 Ensure that all coolant and lubricating oil drain plugs are securely fitted.
4 Dependent on installation, connect the remote control linkages, pressure gauge pipework, air intake duct
and electrical wiring.
5 Connect the gas supply and exhaust pipework ensuring that all valves and filters are correctly positioned
and operating.
6 Fill the coolant system with the approved coolant mixture, see "Coolant" on page 38.
7 Fill the sump to the upper mark on the dipstick with the correct grade of lubricating oil, see "Lubricating oil
specification" on page 40.
8 Lubricate all control linkages and check for freedom of movement.
9 Prime the turbocharger, see "To prime the turbocharger" on page 14.
Note: Every new or reconditioned engine supplied by Perkins Engines Company Limited, Shrewsbury, is run
in before delivery to the customer.

Routine starting
Daily checks before initial start
1 Where a radiator is fitted check that the coolant level is about 76 mm (3 in) below the filler neck, or as
otherwise specified in the equipment manufacturer’s manual. Top up, if necessary, with the correct coolant.
Investigate any marked loss of coolant.
2 Check the oil level in the engine sump. Replenish, as necessary, to the H mark on the dipstick. Use the
correct grade of oil.
Caution: Do not overfill.
3 For a turbocharged engine which has not run for a long period the turbocharger must be primed.
To prime the turbocharger
Clean the area around the connection for the oil feed on top of the bearing housing. Remove the pipe
connection from the turbocharger or the plug if fitted. The clip which supports the pipe and the lower connection
may have to be loosened to allow the top of the pipe to be moved.
1
Add 0,2 litre ( / pint) of clean engine oil to the turbocharger. Fit the connection or plug. Tighten the plug or
3
connections and the clip securely.
Starting procedure
Perform daily service checks detailed above, then proceed as follows:
1 Move the gas tap (if fitted) to the ON or OPEN position.
2 Turn the ignition switch to ON, this will open the gas solenoids and energise the ignition electrical circuit.
3 Press the starter button, or turn the key further to the START position to activate the starter motor. Hold in
the START position for a period of 3 to 5 seconds when the engine will start.
Running the engine
The following precautions will help to ensure a long and trouble-free life for the engine.
1 Do not subject the engine to high speeds and loads until working temperature is reached.
2 Avoid long periods of idling or "OFF LOAD" running.
3 Do not allow engine speeds to exceed the rated maximum. Over-speeding will shorten engine life and can
result in component failure.
Stopping the engine
Run the engine "OFF LOAD" for a short period. Move the ignition key to the OFF position.

Preventive maintenance periods
These preventive maintenance periods are general in application. Check the periods given by the
manufacturer of the equipment in which the engine is installed.
The servicing intervals may be reduced at the discretion of operators to suit local conditions but must NOT be
extended without the written consent of Perkins Engines Company Limited as required by the Perkins
Guarantee.
It is good maintenance to check for leakage and loose fasteners at each service.
These maintenance periods are only for engines that are operated with coolant, gas and lubricating oil to the
specifications given in this handbook.
Schedules
The schedules which follow must be applied at the recommended interval as shown.
Engines in normal use
Engines in this category are those which are in use for an aggregate of more than 400 hours in twelve months.
Refer to the appropriate schedules on page 16 and page 18.
Engine in intermittent use
Engines in this category are those which are in use for an aggregate of less than 400 hours in twelve months.
Refer to the appropriate schedules on page 17 and page 19.
