    • Do not fill the sump past the full mark on the dipstick. • The canister contains a valve and special tube to ensure that lubricating oil does not drain from the filter. Therefore, ensure that the correct Perkins POWERPART canister is used. Page 86...
  • Page 95: Air Filter

    N39453 Chapter 4 Air filter Caution: Do not operate the engine if there is a blockage in the air filter or the induction hose. This can cause lubricating oil to enter the cylinders through the breather valve. Environmental conditions have an important effect on the frequency at which the air filter needs service. Air filters have automatic dust valves (AM1) through which dust is expelled from the filter.

    Chapter 4 N39453 Restriction indicator The restriction indicator is fitted on the air filter outlet or between the air filter and the induction manifold. When the red warning indicator (AO1) is seen through the clear panel (AO2) after the engine has stopped, the air filter element must be removed for service.
