How to stop the engine
1. Adjust the engine speed control to the minimum speed position. Ensure that the control lever for the
reverse gearbox is in the neutral position. If the engine has operated at high load for a long period of time,
allow the engine to cool for one to two minutes.
2. Press the stop button until the engine stops. Release the stop switch or rotate the switch to the off
position.
Adjustment of engine speed range
The idle or maximum speed settings must not be changed by the engine operator, because this can damage
the engine or the transmission. The warranty of the engine can be affected if the seals on the fuel injection
pump are broken during the warranty period by a person who is not approved by Perkins.
Running-in
A gradual running-in of a new engine is not necessary. Prolonged operation at light loads during the early life
of the engine can cause lubricating oil to enter the exhaust system. Maximum load can be applied to a new
engine as soon as the engine is put into service and the coolant temperature has reached a minimum of 60
O
C
(140
O
F).
Cautions:
• The engine will benet if the load is applied as soon as possible after the engine is put into service.
• Do not operate the engine at high speeds without a load.
• Do not overload the engine.
Angle of tilt
For yachts with auxiliary engines, it may be necessary to use the engine during operation against the wind. In
these conditions, an angle of tilt (port or starboard) up to 25
O
continuous operation or 35
O
intermittent operation
is permissible.
