Engine Mounts - Inspect

Note: The engine mounts may not have been
supplied by Perkins. Refer to the Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) information for further details on
the engine mounts and the correct bolt torque.
Inspect the engine mounts for deterioration and for
correct bolt torque. Excessive engine vibration can
be caused by the following conditions:
• Incorrect mounting of the engine
• Deterioration of the engine mounts
• Loose engine mounts
Any engine mount that shows deterioration should be
replaced. Refer to the OEM information for the
recommended torques.
When the engine mounts are supplied by Perkins the
maintenance procedure will be supplied in the
Disassembly and Assembly manual for your engine.

Engine Oil Level - Check

Hot oil and hot components can cause personal
injury. Do not allow hot oil or hot components to
contact the skin.
NOTICE
Perform this maintenance with the engine stopped.
Note: Ensure that the engine is either level or that
the engine is in the normal operating position to
obtain a true level indication.
NOTICE
Do not overfill the crankcase. Engine damage can
result.

1. Maintain the oil level between the mark (L) and the
mark (H) on the engine oil level gauge (dipstick).
Do not fill the crankcase above the (H).
The oil level checked that falls in the crosshatched (
Position "A" ) area between the (H) and below the
warning triangle ( Position "B" ) is safe for engine
operation.
Operating your engine when the oil level is the in
warning triangle area ( Position "B" ) above cross-
hatched section ( Position "A" ) could cause your
crankshaft to dip into the oil. The air bubbles created
from the crankshaft dipping into the oil reduces the
oils lubricating characteristics and could result in the
loss of power.
2. Remove the oil filler cap and add oil, if necessary.
3. Clean the oil filler cap. Install the oil filler cap.
