Static Electricity Hazard when
Fueling with Ultra-low Sulfur Diesel
Fuel
The removal of sulfur and other compounds in ultra-
low sulfur diesel fuel (ULSD fuel) decreases the
conductivity of ULSD and increases the ability of
ULSD to store static charge. Refineries may have
treated the fuel with a stalic dissipating additive.
Many factors can reduce the effectiveness of the
additive over time, Static charges can build up in
ULSD fuel while the fuel is flowing through fuel
delivery systems, Static electricity discharge when
combustible vapors are present could result in a fire
of explosion. Ensure that the entire system used to
refuel your machine (fuel supply tank, transfer pump,
transfer hose, nozzle, and others) is properly
grounded and bonded. Consult with your fuel or fuel
system supplier to ensure that the delivery system
complies with fueling standards for proper grounding
and bonding,
Avoid static electricity risk when fueling. Ultra-
low sulfur diesel fuel (ULSD fuel) poses a greater
ion hazard than earlier diesel formul

or serious injury from fire or explosion, Consult
with your fuel or fuel system supplier to ensure
the delivery system is in compliance with fueling
standards for proper grounding and bonding
practices.

health. If you operate the equipment in an enclosed
area, adequate ventilation is necessary.
Hexavalent Chromium
Perkins equipment and replacement parts comply
with applicable regulations and requirements where
originally sold, Perkins recommends the use of only
genuine Perkins replacement parts.
Hexavalent chromium has occasionally been
detected on exhaust and heat shield systems on
Perkins engines, Although laboratory testing is the
only accurate way to know if hexavalent chromium is,
in fact, present, the presence of a yellow deposit in
areas of high heal (for example, exhaust system
componenis or exhaust insulation) may be an
indication of the presence of hexavalent chromium.
Use caution if you suspect the presence of
hexavalent chromium. Avoid skin contact when
handling items that you suspect may contain
hexavalent chromium, and avoid inhalation of any
dust in the suspect area. Inhalation of, or skin contact
with, hexavalent chromium dust may be hazardous to
your health.10

Safety Section
Electrical System
Check the electrical wires daily for wires that are
loose or frayed. Tighten all loose electrical wires
before the engine is started. Repair all frayed
electrical wires before the engine is started. See the
Operation and Maintenance Manual for specific
starting instructions.
Grounding Practices
Correct grounding for the engine electrical system is
necessary for optimum engine performance and
reliably, Incorrect grounding will result in
uncontrolled electrical circuit paths and in unreliable
electrical circuit paths,
Uncontrolled electrical circuit paths can result in
damage to main bearings, to crankshaft bearing
journal surfaces, and to aluminum components.
Engines that are installed without engine-to-rame
ground straps can be damaged by electrical
discharge.
To ensure that the engine and the engine electrical
systems function correctly, an engine-to-frame
ground strap with a direct path to the battery must be
Used. This path may be provided by way of a direct
engine ground to the frame,
All grounds should be tight and free of corrosion. The
engine altemator must be grounded to the negative
“."battery terminal with a wire that is adequate to
handle the full charging current ofthe alternator.16 ‘SEBU9064.08

Starting with Jump Start
Cables
Improper jump start cable connections can cause
an explosion resulting in personal injury.
Prevent sparks near the batteries. Sparks could
cause vapors to explode, Do not ailow jump start
cable ends to contact each other or the engine.
NOTICE
Using a battery source with the same voltage as the
electric starting motor. Use ONLY equal voltage for
jump starting. The use of higher voltage will damage
the electrical system.
Do not reverse the battery cables. The altemator can
be damaged. Attach ground cabie last and remove
first
Turn all electrical accessories OFF before attaching
the jump start cables.
Ensure that the main power switch is in the OFF posi-
tion before attaching the jump start cables fo the en-
gine being started.
4. Turn the start switch on the stalled engine to the
OFF position, Turn off all the engines accessories.
2. Connect one positive end of the jump-start cable to
the positive cable terminal of the discharged
battery. Connect the other positive end of the
jump-start cable to the positive cable terminal of
the electrical source.
3. Connect one negative end of the jump-start cable
to the negative cable terminal of the electrical
source. Connect the other negative end of the
jump-start cable to the engine block or to the
chassis ground. This procedure helps to prevent
potential sparks from igniting the combustible
‘gases that are produced by some batteries.
Note: The engine electronic control module must be
powered before the starting motor is operated or
damage can occur.
4, Start the engine in the normal operating
procedure. Refer to this Operation and
Maintenance Manual, "Starting the Engine’.
5. Immediately after the engine is started, disconnect
the jump-start cables in reverse order.
After jump starting, the alternator may not be able to
fully recharge batteries that are severely discharged,
The batteries must be replaced or charged to the
proper voltage with a battery charger after the engine
is stopped.
After Starting Engine
Note: In temperatures from 0°C to 60°C
(32°F to 140°F), the warm-up time is approximately 3
minutes. In temperatures below 0°C (32°F), extra
‘warm-up time may be required.
When the engine idles during warm-up, observe the
following conditions:
+ Check for any fluid or for any alr leaks at idle rpm
and at one-half full rpm (no load on the engine)
before operating the engine under load. This
action may not be possible in some applications.
+ Operate the engine at low idle until all systems.
achieve operating temperatures. Check all gauges
during the warm-up period,
Constant speed engines should be allowed to
operate at low idle for 3 minutes before used at
operational speed. If the low idle option is not
available, then operate the engine at operational
speed with no load for 2 minutes.‘SEBU9064.08,

After Starting Engine
Note: Gauge readings should be observed and the
data should be recorded frequently while the engine
is operating. Comparing the data over time will help
to determine normal readings for each gauge.
Comparing data over time will also help detect
abnormal operating developments. Significant
changes in the readings should be investigated.42

Maintenance Manual are followed, costs can be.
minimized and engine service life can be maximized.
Check that there are no flash codes active. Refer to
this Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Diagnostic
Flash Code Retrieval for more information.
The engine can be operated at the rated rpm after
the engine reaches operating temperature. The
engine will reach normal operating temperature
sooner during a low engine speed (rpm) and during a
low-power demand. This procedure is more effective
than idling the engine at no load, The engine should
reach operating temperature in a few minutes,
Gauge readings should be observed and the data
should be recorded frequently while the engine is
operating. Comparing the data over time will help to
determine normal readings for each gauge.
Comparing data over time will also help detect

Engine Operation and Altitude
In accordance with emissions regulation of the United
States Environmental Protection Agency the engine
power and emission will be reduced the higher the
altitude that the engine is operated
Fuel Conservation Practices
The efficiency of the engine can affect the fuel
economy. Perkins design and technology in
manufacturing provides maximum fuel efficiency in
all applications. Follow the recommended procedures
In order to attain optimum performance for the life of
the engine,
+ Avoid spilling fuel
Fuel expands when the fuel is warmed up, The fuel
may overflow from the fuel tank, Inspect fuel lines for
leaks. Repair the fuel ines, as needed
+ Be aware of the properties of the different fuels.
Use only the recommended fuels. Refer to the
Operations and Maintenance Manual, "Fuel
Recommendations’for further information,
+ Avoid unnecessary idling
Shut off the engine rather than idle for long periods of
time.
+ Observe the service indicator frequently. Keep the
air cleaner elements clean.
+ Maintain a good electrical system,
One faulty battery cell will overwork the alternator.
This fault will consume excess power and excess.
fuel
+ The belt should be in good condition,
+ Ensure that all of the connections of the hoses are
tight. The connections should not leak.
+ Ensure that the driven equipment is in good
working order.
+ Cold engines consume excess fuel. Utilize heat
from the jacket water system and the exhaust
system, when possible. Keep cooling system
components clean and keep cooling system
‘components in good repair. Never operate the
engine without water temperature regulators. All of
these items will help maintain operating
temperatures.‘SEBU9064.08

Cold Weather Operation
Perkins Diesel Engines can operate effectively in
cold weather. During cold weather, the starting and
the operation of the diesel engine is dependent on
the following items:
+ The type of fuel thats used
+ The viscosity ofthe engine oll
+ The operation of the glow plugs
+ Battery condition
This section will cover the folowing information:
+ Potential problems that are caused by cold
weather operation
+ Suggest steps which can be taken in order to
minimize starting problems and operating
problems when the ambient air temperature is
between 0° to-40 °C (32* to 40°F).
The operation and maintenance of an engine in
{freezing temperatures is complex . This complexity is
because of the following conditions:
+ Weather conditions
+ Engine applications
Recommendations from your Perkins dealer or your
Perkins distributor are based on past proven
practices, The information that is contained in this
section provides guidelines for cold-weather
operation.
Hints for Cold Weather Operation
+ Ifthe engine will start, operate the engine until a
minimum operating temperature of 80° C (176* F)
is achieved. Achieving operating temperature will
help prevent the intake valves and exhaust valves
from sticking,
+ The cooling system and the lubrication system for
the engine do not lose heat immediately upon
shutdown, This means that an engine can be shut,
down for a period and the engine can still have the
ability to start readily.
Install the correct specification of engine lubricant
before the beginning of cold weather. Refer to this
Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Fluid
Recommendations’ for the recommended
viscosity of oil
Check all rubber parts (hoses, fan drive belts,)
weekly.
Check all electrical wiring and connections for any
fraying or damaged insulation.
Keep all batteries fully charged and warm by
ensuring that the engine is allowed to operated at
normal operating temperature.
Fill the fuel tank at the end of each shift
Check the air cleaners and the air intake daily.
Check the air intake more often when you operate
+ Ensure that the glow plugs are in working order.
Personal injury or property damage can result
from alcohol or starting fluids.
Alcohol or starting fluids are highly flammable
and toxic and if improperly stored could result in
injury or property damage.
Do not use aerosol types of starting aids such as
ether. Such use could result in an explosion and
personal injury.
+ For jump starting with cables in cold weather, refer
to the Operation and Maintenance Manual
“Starting with Jump Start Cables.” for instructions.
Viscosity of the Engine Lubrication
