4016-E61TRS Clothing l Do not wear loose clothing, ties, jewellery, etc. l Always wear steel toe cap shoes/boots. l Always wear the correct head, eye and ear protection. l Always wear suitable overalls. l Always replace a spillage contaminated overall immediately.
Company Limited and subject to oil analysis being performed at regular intervals. Refer to "Oil and filter change programme" on page 42. Ensure that all adjustments and repairs are done by personnel who have had the correct training. Perkins distributors have this type of personnel available. You can also obtain parts and service from your Perkins distributor.
4016-E61TRS Dangers from used engine oils Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will result in the removal of natural oils from the skin, leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. The oil also contains potentially harmful contaminants which may result in skin cancer.
4016-E61TRS Danger from ‘fluorosilicone’ (Viton) ‘O’ ring seals All of the engines ‘O’ ring seals are made from fluorosilicone material. It is a safe material under normal conditions of operation, but if it is burned the extremely dangerous hydroflouric acid is produced.
Local training for the correct operation, service and overhaul of engines is available at certain Perkins distributors. If special training is necessary, your Perkins distributor can advise you how to obtain it at the Perkins Customer Training Department or other main centres.

Operating instructions Introduction Information for the mechanical maintenance of the 4016-E61TRS gas engine is given in this User’s Handbook (TSL 4230) and the Workshop Manual (TSL 4235). Information on the EMS system which controls all functions on the engine, including oil circuit priming, starting and stopping sequences is given in the OEM Application, Installation and Commissioning Manual (TSL 4232) and the Diagnostic Manual (TSL 4233) issue 3.
4016-E61TRS How to fill the engine with oil 1 Remove the sump drain plug and check that the sump is clean and empty. Refit and tighten the plug. Note: The oil filler and sump dipstick are at the front end of the engine, on the ‘B’ Bank side.
4016-E61TRS How to fill a CHP type cooling system The siting of the cooling system filler cap and air vent plugs is dictated by each OEM’s individual installation. The operator must be aware of their position. Caution: All trapped air must be vented from the engines cooling system. If an airlock is present on engine start up localised overheating will occur, possibly causing engine damage.

4016-E61TRS Preventive maintenance Maintenance procedures The service schedule is suitable for an engine working under average conditions. If your engine is working under particularly dirty or dusty conditions, more frequent servicing will be necessary particularly in respect of the lubricating oil and air cleaners.
4016-E61TRS Service schedule Oil and filter change intervals For engines running on gas to the specification given in "Gas specification" on page 41 and using the approved lubricating oil given in "Lubricating oil recommendations" on page 42, the oil and filters must be changed after the first 500 hours of operation.

4016-E61TRS How to check the lubricating oil level 1 Stop the engine and wait 5 minutes to allow the oil to drain into the sump. 2 Withdraw the dipstick and wipe clean. 3 Insert the dipstick and wait 2 seconds.
4016-E61TRS How to change the engine oil and filters 1 Place a container with a capacity of 250 litres (35 gal) under the sump drain plug. 2 Remove the sump drain plug and allow the oil to drain into the container.
4016-E61TRS How to clean the plug filter fitted in the oil gallery for the piston cooling jets 1 Remove the plug filter (A1). 2 Clean the filter using a suitable solvent, if necessary use compressed air to remove small particles from the gauze.
4016-E61TRS How to check the filter restriction indicator for the closed circuit breather 1 Examine the clear plastic cover (A7) on the breather filter. If the red indicator button is not showing the filter is in serviceable condition. 2 When the filter reaches its contamination limit the red restriction indicator button will show. At this point the filter element must be renewed, see "To change the filter element of the closed circuit breather"...
4016-E61TRS To change the filter element of the closed circuit breather 1 Disconnect the oil drain pipe (A1). 2 Release the three retaining clips (A2) and lift the filter container (A3) from the filter body. 3 Pull the filter element (A4) down from the filter body and discard it.
4016-E61TRS How to check the air cleaner restriction indicator 1 Examine the middle section of the restriction indicator (A1). It will remain clear while the air cleaner is in serviceable condition. 2 When the filter reaches its contamination limit the restriction indicator will sense the change in manifold pressure and the middle section will change to red.
4016-E61TRS How to change the air filter element and clean the gas mixer 1 Release the five over-centre catches (A1) and remove the air filter end cover (A2). 2 Pull out the filter element (A3). 3 Clean any dust accumulation from inside the air filter body and the gas mixer (A4) using a clean cloth. If necessary remove the coupling hose (A5) to give access.
4016-E61TRS How to change the oxygen sensor 1 Disconnect the multi-pin plug (A1) on the oxygen sensor power cable from the connector on the oxygen sensor interface (A2). 2 Remove the oxygen sensor (A3) from the turbocharger outlet. 3 Fit the new oxygen sensor into the turbocharger outlet tighten it down to 25 Nm (18 lbf ft).
4016-E61TRS How to remove a spark plug Special requirements Special tools Description Part number Spark plug removal socket and extension 27610190 1 Disconnect the power lead (A1) to the ignition coil. 2 Remove the two retaining nuts (A2). 3 Pull the combined ignition coil/plug cap (A3) out of the rocker cover.
4016-E61TRS How to clean, set and fit a spark plug Special requirements Special tools Description Part number Cylinder head spark plug thread cleaning 27610178 tool 1 Clean any carbon/ash deposits from the spark plug thread and ceramic insulator using a suitable solvent and a dry cloth.
4016-E61TRS Preparation for equalising bridge pieces and setting valve clearances Special requirements Special tools Description Part number Engine cranking device SE253 1 Disconnect the power lead (A1) from the ignition coil. 2 Remove the two retaining nuts (A2). 3 Pull the combined ignition coil/plug cap (A3) out of the rocker cover.
4016-E61TRS How to equalise bridge pieces 1 Rotate the engine to the position given in "Bridge piece and valve clearance setting sequence" on page 37. Caution: Check the inlet and exhaust rockers have clearance on the bridge piece. 2 Loosen the locknut on the bridge piece (A1).
4016-E61TRS How to set valve clearances Special requirements Special tools Description Part number Feeler gauges 1 Check the clearance using a feeler gauge. Note: The inlet and exhaust valve clearance is 0,4 mm (0.016 in). 2 To set the valve clearance loosen the locknut (A2).
3 To check the exhaust valve, place the tool around bolt (A2). Note: As a result of product improvements, the rocker box to cylinder head joint has been improved using a graphite material which is 0,7 mm thicker than the joint it has replaced. This change covers all 4016-E61TRS engines.
(930 BTU/Sft Also pressure must be constant to maintain emissions and stability. If any of the above parameters are not met, Perkins Engines Company Limited should be consulted for advice. Gas safety regulations There are legal requirements that within the U.K. gas fittings and equipment must be installed only by competent persons and in accordance with the Institution of Gas Engineers Procedures IGE UP2.
Approved lubricating oil Esso Estor HPC 40 Caution: To use a lubricating oil other than that specified, it is essential that Perkins Engines Company Limited, Stafford, is consulted, failure to do so could affect the engine warranty. Oil and filter change programme The lubricating oil and filter life is governed by the engine load and gas quality.
For combined heat and power systems and where there is no likelihood of ambient temperatures below 10 °C, then clean ‘soft’ water may be used, treated with 1% by volume of Perkins inhibitor. The inhibitor is available under Perkins part number OE45350.
