The idle or maximum speed settings must not be changed by the engine operator because this can damage the engine or transmission. The warranty of the engine can be affected if the seals on the fuel injection pump are broken during the warranty period by a person who is not approved by Perkins. Running-in A gradual running-in of a new engine or POWER EXCHANGE engine is not necessary. -
Page 20: Turbocharged Engines
Information for turbocharged engines can be obtained from Perkins. Changes to the settings of the fuel injection pump must be made by a Perkins distributor or by an approved distributor for the fuel injection pump. -
Page 21: Preventive Maintenance Periods
3.152 Preventive maintenance Preventive maintenance periods These preventive maintenance periods apply to average conditions of operation. Check the periods given by the manufacturer of the equipment in which the engine is installed. If necessary, use the shorter periods. When the operation of the engine must conform to the local regulations these periods and procedures may need to be adapted to ensure correct operation of the engine. - Page 22 3.152 Schedules First service at 25/50 hours (All engines) Every 500 hours or 12 months (D3.152) Every day or every 8 hours (All engines) Every 800 hours or 12 months (3.1524, T3.1524) Every 200 hours or 4 months (3.1524, T3.1524) Every 2400 hours (3.1524, T3.1524) Every 250 hours or 4 months (D3.152) Every 2500 hours (D3.152)

Page 27: How To Eliminate Air From The Fuel System
3.152 How to eliminate air from the fuel system There are two methods to eliminate air from the fuel system according to the type of pump fitted: Standard method: This method is used on the Lucas DPA fuel injection pump. Vent screws (A1 and A2) are fitted to this pump. - Page 28 3.152 Standard method to eliminate air from the fuel system 1 Loosen the banjo connection bolt which is fitted on the top of the filter (A1). 2 Operate the priming lever on the fuel lift pump (B) until fuel, free from air, comes from the filter vent point. Tighten the banjo connection bolt.
- Page 29 3.152 7 Loosen the union nut (D1) at the fuelled starting aid (if one is fitted) and operate the lift pump until fuel, free from air, comes from the connection. Tighten the union nut at the starting aid. 8 Loosen the union nuts of the high-pressure pipes (E1) at two of the atomisers. Operate the starter motor until fuel, free from air, comes from the pipe connections.
- Page 30 3.152 Self-vent method to eliminate air from the fuel system If the engine has been stopped by air in the fuel system: Ensure that fuel has been added to the tank or that the leakage has been corrected. 1 If a manual stop control is fitted, ensure that it is in the “run” position. 2 Operate the starter motor until the engine starts.

Page 34: Air Filter
3.152 Air filter Environmental conditions have an important effect on the frequency at which the air filter needs service. Certain air filters have a separate dust bowl (A1) which must be cleaned at intervals. The amount of dust in the bowl shows if it has been removed at the correct time for the conditions of operation. -
Page 35: Restriction Indicator
3.152 Restriction indicator The restriction indicator for these engines must work at a pressure difference of 381/457 mm (15/18 in) of water gauge. It is fitted on the air filter outlet or between the air filter and the induction manifold. When the red warning indicator (A1) is seen through the clear panel (A2) after the engine has stopped, the air filter element must be removed for service. - Page 36 3.152 How to check the tappet clearances These are checked between the top of the tappet and the rocker lever (A1). For D3.152 engines the correct clearances are 0,30 mm (0.012 in) for inlet and exhaust valves with the engine cold. For 3.1524 and T3.1524 engines the correct clearances are 0,20 mm (0.008 in) for the inlet valves and 0,32 mm (0.0125 in) for the exhaust valves with the engine hot or cold.
