Do not store ether cylinders in living areas or in the

engine compartment. Do not store ether cylinders in

direct sunlight or in temperatures above 49° C

(120° F). Keep ether cylinders away from open

flames or sparks.

Lines, Tubes, and Hoses

Do not bend high-pressure lines. Do not strike high-

pressure lines. Do not install any lines that are

damaged.

Leaks can cause fires. Consult your Perkins

distributor for replacement parts.

Replace the parts if any of the following conditions

are present:

• End fittings are damaged or leaking.

• Outer coverings are chafed or cut.

• Wires are exposed.

• Outer coverings are ballooning.

• Flexible parts of the hoses are kinked.

• Outer covers have embedded armoring.

• End fittings are displaced.

Make sure that all clamps, guards, and heat shields

are installed correctly. During engine operation,

correct installation will help to prevent vibration,

rubbing against other parts, and excessive heat.

Crushing Prevention and

Cutting Prevention

Support the component correctly when work beneath

the component is performed.

Unless other maintenance instructions are provided,

never attempt adjustments while the engine is

running.

Stay clear of all rotating parts and of all moving parts.

Leave the guards in place until maintenance is

performed. After the maintenance is performed,

reinstall the guards.

Keep objects away from moving fan blades. The fan

blades will throw objects or cut objects.

When objects are struck, wear protective glasses in

order to avoid injury to the eyes.

Chips or other debris may fly off objects when objects

are struck. Before objects are struck, ensure that no

one will be injured by flying debris.

Mounting and Dismounting

Do not climb on the engine. The engine has not been

designed with mounting or dismounting locations.

Refer to the OEM for the location of foot and hand

holds for your specific application.

Before Starting Engine

For initial start-up of a new or rebuilt engine, and for

start-up of an engine that has been serviced, make

provision to shut the engine off should an overspeed

occur. This may be accomplished by shutting off the

air and/or fuel supply to the engine.

Engine exhaust contains products of combustion

which may be harmful to your health. Always

start and operate the engine in a well ventilated

area and, if in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust

to the outside.

Inspect the engine for potential hazards.

Do not start the engine or move any of the controls if

i02143194

there is a "DO NOT OPERATE" warning tag or similar

warning tag attached to the start switch or to the

controls.

Before starting the engine, ensure that no one is on,

underneath, or close to the engine. Ensure that the

area is free of personnel.

If equipped, ensure that the lighting system for the

engine is suitable for the conditions. Ensure that all

lights work properly, if equipped.

All protective guards and all protective covers must

be installed if the engine must be started in order to

perform service procedures. To help prevent an

accident that is caused by parts in rotation, work

around the parts carefully.

Do not start an engine when the governor linkage is

disconnected.

Do not bypass the automatic shutoff circuits. Do not

disable the automatic shutoff circuits. The circuits are

provided in order to help prevent personal injury. The

circuits are also provided in order to help prevent

engine damage.
