Always use a safety cage to protect the operator when a component is to be pressure tested in a container
of water. Fit safety wires to secure the plugs which seal the hose connections of a component which is to
be pressure tested.
Do not allow compressed air to contact your skin. If compressed air enters your skin, obtain medical help
immediately.
Turbochargers operate at high speed and at high temperatures. Keep fingers, tools and debris away from
the inlet and outlet ports of the turbocharger and prevent contact with hot surfaces.
The fuel injector units of this engine are controlled electronically by a pulse of 110 volts.
The fuel injector units are actuated by high-pressure engine lubricating oil. Do not remove any component
of the high-pressure system while the engine oil is under pressure, because dangerous oil can be
discharged.
Fit only genuine Perkins parts.

How to care for your engine

This handbook has been written to assist you to maintain and operate your engine correctly.
To obtain the best performance and the longest life from your engine, you must ensure that the maintenance
operations are done at the intervals indicated in Chapter 4, Preventive maintenance. If the engine works in a
very dusty environment or other adverse conditions, certain maintenance intervals will have to be reduced.
Renew the filter canisters and lubricating oil regularly in order to ensure that the inside of your engine remains
clean.
Ensure that all adjustments and repairs are done by personnel who have had the correct training. Perkins
distributors have this type of personnel available. You can also obtain parts and service from your Perkins
distributor.
The terms "left side" and "right side" apply when the engine is seen from the flywheel end.
Warning! Read the "Safety precautions" on page 2 and remember them. They are given for your protection
and must be applied at all times.
