NOTICE
Failure to rep
lace your water temperature regulator
on a regularly scheduled basis could cause severe
engine damage.
Perkins engines incorporate a shunt design cooling
system and require operating the engine with a water
temperature
regulator installed.
If the water temperature regulator is installed incor-
rectly, the
engine may overheat, causing cylinder head
damage. Ensure that the new water temperature reg-
ulator is installed in the original position. Ensure that
the water te
mperature regulator vent hole is open.
Do not use liquid gasket material on the gasket or
cylinder h
ead surface.
Refer to two articles in the Disassembly and
Assembly
Manual, “Water Temperature Regulators
- Remove and Water Temperature Regulators -
Install” for the replacement procedure of the water
tempera
ture regulator, or consult your Perkins dealer
or your Perkins distributor.
Note: If
only the water temperature regulators are
replaced, drain the coolant from the cooling system to
a level that is below the water temperature regulator
housin
g.

ard. Keep the engine clean. Remove debris and fluid
spills whenever a significant quantity accumulates on
the engine.
Periodic cleaning of the engine is recommended.
Steam cleaning the engine will remove accumulated
oil and grease. A clean engine provides the following
benefits:
•
Easy detection of fl uid leaks
•
Maximum heat transfer characteristics
•
Ease of maintenance
Note: Caution must be used in order to prevent
electrical components from being damaged by
excessive water when the engine is cleaned.
Pressure washers and steam cleaners should not be
directed at any electrical connectors or the junction of
cables into the rear of the connectors. Avoid electrical
components such as the alternator, the starter, and
the ECM. Protect the fuel injection pump from fluids
in order to wash the engine.
Aftertreatment
During the engine cleaning process, ensure
that water or cleaning fluids cannot enter the
aftertreatment system. If cleaning fluids enters the
aftertreatment system, damage could occur.
