In order to determine the optimum program for the
oil and filter service, use the oil analysis program
that follows.

Initiating an Oil analysis Program

The oil sample must be taken from the mean level in
the engine oil pan. Do not take an oil sample from
the drain plug.
Oil analysis in the first 500 hours will show higher
levels of iron and copper than the acceptable
parameters. This is shown in the list that follows. As
the engine continues to operate the levels will drop
within the specified parameters.
Every 250 Hours
Run the engine for the first 500 hours. Replace the
engine oil and the engine oil filter. Every 250 hours
obtain an oil sample.
A trend can be established by analyzing the results
of the oil sampling. Each individual operator can
develop a service program for the engine.
Note: The engine oil and the engine oil filter must be
replaced at 2000 hours.

•
Nitration 30 abs/cm max
•
Oxidation 30 abs/cm max
•
Water 0.2% vol max
•
Iron - Fe less than 20 ppm
•
Copper - Cu less than 40 ppm
Note: Perkins Engines Stafford must agree to the
maintenance schedule.

Engine Protective Devices - Check

Engine Protective Devices -
Check
Alarms and shutoffs must function properly. Alarms
provide timely warning to the operator. Shutoffs help
to prevent damage to the engine. It is impossible
to determine if the engine protective devices are
in good working order during normal operation.
Malfunctions must be simulated in order to test the
engine protective devices.
A calibration check of the engine protective devices
will ensure that the alarms and shutoffs activate
at the setpoints. Ensure that the engine protective
devices are functioning properly.
NOTICE
During testing, abnormal operating conditions must be
simulated.
The tests must be performed correctly in order to pre-
vent possible damage to the engine.
To prevent damage to the engine, only authorized
service personnel or your Perkins dealer should
perform the tests.

Visual Inspection

Visually check the condition of all gauges, sensors
and wiring. Look for wiring and components that
are loose, broken, or damaged. Damaged wiring
or components should be repaired or replaced
immediately.
Engine Speed/Timing Sensor -
Clean/Inspect
Ensure that all power is disconnected to the engine
before performing these procedures.
