NOTICE

If equipped with an auxiliary oil filter system or a re-

mote oil filter system, follow the OEM or filter manu-

facturer's recommendations. Under filling or overfilling

the crankcase with oil can cause engine damage.

NOTICE

To prevent crankshaft bearing damage, crank the en-

gine with the fuel OFF. This will fill the oil filters before

starting the engine. Do not crank the engine for more

than 30 seconds.

2. Start the engine and run the engine at "LOW IDLE"

for 2 minutes. Perform this procedure in order to

ensure that the lubrication system has oil and that

the oil filters are filled. Inspect the oil filter for oil

leaks.

3. Stop the engine and allow the oil to drain back to

the sump for a minimum of 10 minutes.

Engine Valve Lash - Inspect/

Adjust

This maintenance is recommended by Perkins as

part of a lubrication and preventive maintenance

schedule in order to help provide maximum engine

life.

Only qualified service personel should perform this

maintenance. Refer to the Service Manual or your au-

thorized Perkins dealer or your Perkins distributor

for the complete valve lash adjustment procedure.

Operation of Perkins

lash can reduce engine efficiency, and also reduce

engine component life.

Ensure that the engine can not be started while

g00998024

this maintenance is being performed. To help pre-

vent possible injury, do not use the starting motor

to turn the flywheel.

Hot engine components can cause burns. Allow

additional time for the engine to cool before meas-

uring/adjusting valve lash clearance.

Ensure that the engine is stopped before measuring

the valve lash. The engine valve lash can be

inspected and adjusted when the temperature of the

engine is hot or cold.

Refer to Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting,

"Engine Valve Lash - Inspect/Adjust" for more

information.
