Typical example
2. Clean sealing surface (1).
3. Apply clean engine oil to O ring seal (2) for the new
oil filter (3).
NOTICE
Do not fill the oil filter with oil before installing. This oil
would not be filtered and could be contaminated.
Contaminated oil can cause accelerated wear to en-
gine components.
4. Install the new oil filter (3). Spin on the oil filter until
the O ring contacts the sealing surface (1). Then
rotate the oil filter 1 full turn. Remove the container
and disposal of the waste oil in accordance with
local regulations.
Fill the Oil Pan
1. Remove the oil filler cap. Refer to this Operation
and Maintenance Manual, "Fluid
Recommendations" for more information on
suitable oils. Fill the oil pan with the correct
amount of new engine lubricating oil. Refer to this
Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Refill
Capacities" for more information on refill
capacities.
2. Start the engine and run the engine at LOW IDLE
for 2 minutes. Perform this procedure 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 oil pan for a minimum of 10 minutes.
4. .Remove the oil level gauge to check the oil level.
Maintain the oil level between the ADD and FULL
marks on the side of the oil level gauge.
Engine Valve Lash - Check
Ensure that the engine cannot be started while
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
measuring/adjusting valve lash clearance.

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 engines with incorrect valve
lash can reduce engine efficiency, and also reduce
engine component life.
The initial valve lash adjustment on new engines,
rebuilt engines, or remanufactured engines is
recommended only on engine ratings 522 kW
(700 hp) and greater. The adjustment is necessary
due to the initial wear of the valve train components
and to the seating of the valve train components.
This maintenance is recommended as part of a
lubrication and preventive maintenance schedule to
help provide maximum engine life. For engine ratings
less than 522 kW (700 hp), the initial valve lash
adjustment is not necessary.
Note: All engine ratings must have the engine valve
lash performed at 2500 hours.
Ensure that the engine is stopped before measuring
the valve lash. To obtain an accurate measurement,
allow the valves to cool before this maintenance is
performed.
During valve adjustment, visibly inspect the valve
train of wear or damage.
Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting,
"Engine Valve Lash - Inspect/Adjust" for more
information.
