Maintenance Recommendations
Perkins Eng
ines Company Limited engines are
certified by the EPA and the CARB in order to comply
with exhaust emission standards and gaseous
emission st
andards that are prescribed by the law at
the time of manufacture.
Efficiency
of the emission control and the engine
performance depends on adherence to proper
operation and maintenance recommendations and
use of rec
ommended fuels and lubricating oils.
According to recommendations, major adjustments
and repairs should be made by your authorized
Perkins d
istributor or your authorized Perkins dealer.
Various chemical fuel additives which claim to reduce
visible
smoke are available commercially. Although
additives have been used to solve some isolated
smoke problems in the field, additives are not
recomme
nded for general use. The engines should
be certified without smoke depressants according to
federal smoke regulations.
Take corrective steps immediately after worn parts
which may affect the emissions level are discovered
in ord
er to ensure the proper operation of the
emission control systems. The use of genuine
Perkins components is recommended. If the owner
uses n
on-Perkins components, then the non-Perkins
components must not adversely affect the emissions
level of the engine.
For information on the use of Aftermarket Products
and Perkins Engines, refer to this Operation and
Main
tenance Manual, “Engine Description”.
Regular maintenance intervals with a special
emp
hasis on the following items are necessary in
order to keep exhaust emissions within acceptable
limits for the useful life of the engine. Refer to the
Ope
ration and Maintenance Manual, “Severe Service
Application - Check” topic (Maintenance Section).
If the engine is operating under severe conditions,
ad
just the maintenance schedule accordingly.
See your authorized Perkins distributor/dealer in
order to help analyze your specific application,
op
erating environment, and maintenance schedule
adjustments.
