Engine Operation

Engine Operation
General Engine Operation
Correct operation and maintenance are key factors in
obtaining the maximum life and economy of the
engine. If the directions in the Operation and
Maintenance Manual are followed, costs can be
minimized and engine service life can be maximized.
The engine can be operated at the rated rpm after
the engine reaches operating temperature. The
engine will reach normal operating temperature
sooner during a low engine speed (rpm) and during a
low-power demand. This procedure is more effective
than idling the engine at no load. The engine should
reach operating temperature in a few minutes.
Gauge readings should be observed and the data
should be recorded frequently while the engine is
operating. Comparing the data over time will help to
determine normal readings for each gauge.
Comparing data over time will also help detect
abnormal operating developments. Significant
changes in the readings should be investigated.
The engine and emissions control system shall be
operated, used, and maintained in accordance with
the instructions provided. Failure to follow the instruc-
tions could result in emissions performance that does
not meet the requirements applicable to the category
of the engine. No deliberate tampering with, or mis-
use of the engine emissions control system should
take place. Prompt action is critical to rectify any in-
correct operation, use, or maintenance of the emis-
sions control system.
Carbon Dioxide (CO
Statement
Emissions regulations require that the value of the
CO emissions be reported to the end user. For the
2
engines listed in table 9 , g/kWh was determined to
be the CO value during the EU type approval
2
process. This value was recorded in EU type
approval certificate. This CO
from testing over a fixed test cycle, under laboratory
conditions, with a parent engine representative of the
engine family. These values shall not imply or
express any guarantee of the performance of a
particular engine.

Fuel Conservation Practices
The efficiency of the engine can affect the fuel
economy. Perkins design and technology in
manufacturing provides maximum fuel efficiency in
all applications. Follow the recommended procedures
in order to attain optimum performance for the life of
the engine.
• Avoid spilling fuel.
Fuel expands when the fuel is warmed up. The fuel
may overflow from the fuel tank. Inspect fuel lines for
leaks. Repair the fuel lines, as needed.
• Be aware of the properties of the different fuels.
Use only the recommended fuels. Refer to the
Operations and Maintenance Manual, "Fuel
Recommendations"for further information.
• Avoid unnecessary idling.
Shut off the engine rather than idle for long periods of
time.
• Observe the service indicator frequently. Keep the
air cleaner elements clean.
• Maintain a good electrical system.
One faulty battery cell will overwork the alternator.
This fault will consume excess power and excess
fuel.
• The belt should be in good condition.
