Fuel Injector - Inspect/Adjust

Only qualified service personnel should perform this
maintenance. Refer to the Service Manual or your au-
thorized Perkins distributor for the complete proce-
dure in order to inspect or adjust the fuel injectors.
Operation of Perkins engines with fuel injectors that
have not been inspected or adjusted can reduce en-
gine efficiency, and also reduce engine component
life.
Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting,
"Fuel Injector Adjustment" for the correct procedures
to inspect and adjust the fuel injectors.
