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.

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 in order
to obtain a true level indication.
Note: After the engine has been switched OFF, wait
for 10 minutes in order to allow the engine oil to drain
i05909059
to the oil pan. Then, check the oil level.
1. Maintain the oil level between the "ADD" mark (Y)
and the "FULL" mark (X) on the engine oil dipstick.
Or maintain the engine oil level between the H and
L mark. Do not over fill the crankcase.
Operating your engine when the oil level is above the
"FULL" mark could cause your crankshaft to dip into
the oil. The air bubbles created from the crankshaft
dipping into the oil reduces the oil's lubricating char-
acteristics and could result in the loss of power.
2. Remove the oil filler cap and add oil, if necessary.
Clean the oil filler cap. Install the oil filler cap.

Engine Oil Sample - Obtain

The condition of the engine lubricating oil may be
checked at regular intervals as part of a preventive
maintenance program. Perkins include an oil
sampling valve as an option. The oil sampling valve
g01165836
(if equipped) is included in order to regularly sample
the engine lubricating oil. The oil sampling valve is
positioned on the oil filter head or the oil sampling
valve is positioned on the cylinder block.
