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.

“L” Low
“H” High
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 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
to the oil pan before checking the oil level.
1. Maintain the oil level between the mark (L) and the
mark (H) on the engine oil dipstick. Do not fill the
crankcase above the “H” .
NOTICE
Operating your engine when the oil level is above the
“H” mark could cause your crankshaft to dip into the
oil. The air bubbles created from the crankshaft dip-
ping into the oil reduces the oils lubricating character-
istics 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.
