How To Care For Your Engine - Perkins 1106 Series User Handbook Manual

Chapter 2 N40469

How to care for your engine

Warning! Read the "Safety precautions" and
remember them. They are given for your protection
and must be applied at all times.
Caution: Do not clean an engine whilst it is running.
If cold cleaning fluids are applied to a hot engine,
certain components on the engine may be damaged.
This handbook has been written to assist you to
maintain and operate your 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 correct intervals. If the
engine works in a very dusty environment or other
adverse conditions, certain maintenance intervals will
have to be reduced. Renew the filter canisters and
lubricating oil regularly in order 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.
Personnel with this training are available at your
Perkins distributor. You can also obtain parts and
service from your Perkins distributor. If you do not
know the address of your nearest distributor, enquire
at Wimborne Marine Power Centre.
When reference is made to the "left" or "right" side
of the engine, this is as seen from the crankshaft
damper end of the engine.
