Additional Messages

The ether warning label is installed on the air cleaner
close to the intake. The location will depend on the
application. In some applications, the ether label will
be supplied loose for fitting by the engine installer.
Additional Messages
There are several specific messages on this engine.
The exact location of the messages and the
description of the information are reviewed in this
section. Become familiar with all messages.
Make sure that all the messages are legible. Clean
the messages or replace the messages if the
messages are not legible. Replace the illustrations if
the illustrations are not legible. When cleaning the
messages, use a cloth, water, and soap. Do not use
solvent, gasoline, or other harsh chemicals to clean
the messages. Solvents, gasoline, or harsh
chemicals could loosen the adhesive that secures the
messages. Loose adhesive will allow the messages
to fall.
Replace any message that is damaged, or missing. If
a message is attached to a part that is replaced,
install a message on the replacement part.
Replacement labels may be obtained from Perkins
distributors.
