Typical example
2. Remove drain plug (1) on the engine. Open the
drain cock or remove the drain plug on the radiator
and allow the coolant to drain.
For information regarding the disposal and the
recycling of used coolant, consult your Perkins dealer
or Perkins distributor.
Flush
REMARQUE
Cleaning agents for an industrial cooling system must
not be used. These cleaning agents are very aggres-
sive and cause damage to the cooling system
components.
1. Flush the cooling system with distilled or deionized
water to remove any debris.
2. Install the connection hose. Clean the drain plugs
and install the drain plugs. Tighten the drain plugs
securely.
REMARQUE
Ne pas remplir le circuit de refroidissement à raison
de plus de 5 l (1,3 US gal) par minute pour éviter les
poches d'air.
La présence de poches d'air dans le circuit de refroi-
dissement risque d'endommager le moteur.
3. Fill the cooling system with distilled or deionized
water. Install the cooling system filler cap.

4. Start and run the engine at low idle until the
temperature reaches 50° to 70°C (122° to 158°F).
5. Stop the engine and allow the engine to cool.
Loosen the cooling system filler cap slowly to
relieve any pressure. Remove the cooling system
filler cap. Remove the connection hose and
remove the cooling system drain plugs. Allow the
water to drain. Flush the cooling system with clean
water. Install the connection hose.
6. Install the drain plugs and securely.

1. Fill the cooling system with Extended Life Coolant
(ELC). Refer to this Operation and Maintenance
Manual, "Refill Capacities" topic (Maintenance
Section) for more information on cooling system
specifications. Do not install the cooling system
filler cap.
2. Start and run the engine at low idle. Increase the
engine rpm to high idle. Operate the engine to
open the engine thermostat. An open thermostat
will allow any air in the system to be purged.
Decrease the engine speed to low idle. Stop the
engine.
3. Maintain the coolant level at the maximum mark
that is correct for your application.
4. Clean the cooling system filler cap. Inspect the
gasket that is on the cooling system filler cap. If
the gasket that is on the cooling system filler cap is
damaged, discard the old cooling system filler cap
and install a new cooling system filler cap. If the
gasket that is on the cooling system filler cap is not
damaged, pressure test the cooling system filler
cap. The correct pressure for the cooling system
filler cap is stamped on the face of the cooling
system filler cap. If the cooling system filler cap
does not retain the correct pressure, install a new
cooling system filler cap.
