How to care for your engine
Warning! Read the “Safety precautions” and
remember them. They are given for your protection
and must be applied at all times.
Caution: Do not clean an engine while it runs. If cold
cleaning uids are applied to a hot engine, certain
components on the engine may be damaged.
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 “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 lter 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. If you do not know the address
of your nearest distributor, enquire at one of the
Perkins companies listed on page 6.
When reference is made to the “left side” and “right
side” of the engine, this is as seen from the ywheel
