General safety precautions

These safety precautions are important. You must refer also to the local regulations in the country of use.Some items only refer to specific applications.

! Only use these engines in the type of application for which they have been designed.

! Do not change the specification of the engine.

! Do not smoke when you put fuel in the tank.

! Clean away fuel which has been spilt. Material which has been contaminated by fuel must be moved to asafe place.

! Do not put fuel in the tank while the engine runs (unless it is absolutely necessary).

! Do not clean, add lubricating oil, or adjust the engine while it runs (unless you have had the correct training;even then extreme care must be used to prevent injury).

! Do not make adjustments that you do not understand.

! Ensure that the engine does not run in a location where it can cause a concentration of toxic emissions.

! Other persons must be kept at a safe distance while the engine or auxiliary equipment is in operation.

! Do not permit loose clothing or long hair near moving parts.

! Keep away from moving parts during engine operation.

Warning! Some moving parts cannot be seen clearly while the engine runs.

! Do not operate the engine if a safety guard has been removed.

! Do not remove the filler cap or any component of the cooling system while the engine is hot and while thecoolant is under pressure, because dangerous hot coolant can be discharged.

! Do not allow sparks or fire near the batteries (especially when the batteries are on charge) because thegases from the electrolyte are highly flammable. The battery fluid is dangerous to the skin and especiallyto the eyes.

! Disconnect the battery terminals before a repair is made to the electrical system.

! Only one person must control the engine.

! Ensure that the engine is operated only from the control panel or from the operators position.

! If your skin comes into contact with high-pressure fuel, obtain medical assistance immediately.

! Diesel fuel and lubricating oil (especially used lubricating oil) can damage the skin of certain persons.Protect your hands with gloves or a special solution to protect the skin.

! Do not wear clothing which is contaminated by lubricating oil. Do not put material which is contaminatedwith oil into the pockets of clothing.

! Discard used lubricating oil in accordance with local regulations to prevent contamination.

! Ensure that the control lever of the transmission drive is in the "out-of-drive" position before the engine isstarted.

! Use extreme care if emergency repairs must be made in adverse conditions.

! The combustible material of some components of the engine (for example certain seals) can becomeextremely dangerous if it is burned. Never allow this burnt material to come into contact with the skin or withthe eyes.

! Always use a safety cage to protect the operator when a component is to be pressure tested in a containerof water. Fit safety wires to secure the plugs which seal the hose connections of a component which is tobe pressure tested.

! Do not allow compressed air to contact your skin. If compressed air enters your skin, obtain medical helpimmediately.

! Turbochargers operate at high speed and at high temperatures. Keep fingers, tools and debris away fromthe inlet and outlet ports of the turbocharger and prevent contact with hot surfaces.

! Fit only genuine Perkins parts, failure to do so can damage the engine and may effect the warranty.

1100 Series

! Do not wash an engine while it runs or while it is hot. If cold cleaning fluids are applied to a hot engine,certain components on the engine could be damaged.

! Ensure that the starter switch is in the off position before servicing or repairs are made to the fuel system,because fuel will be released if the lift pump has power.

! If the fuel level in the tank is higher then the fuel lift pump the supply and return fuel line valves must beturned off before servicing or repairs are made to the fuel system, because fuel will flow through the system.

Viton seals

Viton is used by many manufacturers and is a safe material under normal conditions of operation.

Some seals used in engines and in components fitted to these engines are made of Viton.

If Viton is burned, a product of this burnt material is an acid which is extremely dangerous. Never allow thisburnt material to come into contact with the skin or with the eyes.

If it is necessary to come into contact with components which have been burnt, ensure that the precautionswhich follow are used:

! Ensure that the components have cooled.

! Use neoprene gloves and discard the gloves safely after use.

! Wash the area with calcium hydroxide solution and then with clean water.

! Disposal of components and gloves which are contaminated must be in accordance with local regulations.

If there is contamination of the skin or eyes, wash the affected area with a continuous supply of clean water orwith calcium hydroxide solution for 15-60 minutes. Obtain immediate medical attention.

How to care for your engine

Warning! Read the "Safety precautions" and remember them. They are given for your protection and must beapplied at all times.

Caution: Do not wash an engine while it runs or while it is hot. If cold cleaning fluids are applied to a hot engine,certain components on the engine could 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 maintenanceoperations are done at the intervals indicated in "Preventive maintenance". If the engine is operated in a verydusty environment or other adverse conditions, certain maintenance intervals will have to be reduced.

Ensure that all adjustments and repairs are done by personnel who have had the correct training.

The "left side" and "right side" of the engine are as seen from the flywheel end.

Engine preservation

Introduction

For advice on when to use the preservation procedure, contact you local authorized Perkins dealer.

The recommendations indicated below are designed to prevent damage to the engine when it is withdrawnfrom service for a prolonged period. Use these procedures after the engine is withdrawn from service. Theinstructions for the use of POWERPART products are given on the outside of each container.

Procedure

1 Completely clean the outside of the engine.

2 When a preservative fuel is to be used, drain the fuel system and fill it with the preservative fuel.POWERPART Lay-Up 1 can be added to the normal fuel to change it to a preservative fuel. If preservative fuelis not used, the system can be kept full with normal fuel but the fuel must be drained and discarded at the endof the storage period together with the fuel filter element(s).

3 Operate the engine until it is warm. Then correct leakages of fuel, lubricating oil or air. Stop the engine anddrain the lubricating oil from the sump.

4 Renew the lubricating oil filter.

5 Fill the sump to the full mark on the dipstick with new and clean lubricating oil and add POWERPART lay-Up 2 to the oil to protect the engine against corrosion. If POWERPART Lay-Up 2 is not available, use a correctpreservative fluid instead of the lubricating oil. If a preservative fluid is used, this must be drained and thelubricating oil sump must be filled to the correct level with normal lubricating oil at the end of the storage period.

6 Drain the cooling system, see "How to drain the cooling system" on page 23. In order to protect the coolingsystem against corrosion, fill it with an approved antifreeze mixture because this gives a protection againstcorrosion, see "Coolant specification" on page 40.

Caution: Certain corrosion inhibitor mixtures could cause damage to some engine components. It isrecommended that you consult the Perkins Service Department, Peterborough.

7 Operate the engine for a short period in order to circulate the lubricating oil and the coolant in the engine.

8 Disconnect the battery. Then put the battery into safe storage in a fully charged condition. Before the batteryis put into storage, protect its terminals against corrosion. POWERPART Lay-Up 3 can be used on theterminals.

9 Clean the engine breather pipe (if one is fitted) and seal the end of the pipe.

10 Remove the atomisers and spray POWERPART Lay-up 2 for one to two seconds into each cylinder borewith the piston at BDC.

11 Slowly turn the crankshaft one revolution and then fit the atomisers, refer to "How to remove and to fit anatomiser" on page 30.

12 Remove the air filter. Then, if necessary, remove the pipe(s) installed between the air filter and inductionmanifold or turbocharger. Spray POWERPART Lay-Up 2 into the intake manifold or turbocharger. It isrecommended that the spray time for the turbocharger is 50% longer than the spray time for the manifold,which is indicated on the container label. Seal the manifold or the turbocharger with waterproof tape.

13 Remove the exhaust pipe. Spray POWERPART Lay-Up 2 into the exhaust manifold or the turbocharger.It is recommended that the spray time for the turbocharger is 50% longer than the spray time for the manifold,which is indicated on the container label. Seal the manifold or the turbocharger with waterproof tape.

14 If the lubricating oil filler is fitted onto the rocker cover, remove the filler cap. If the lubricating oil filler is notfitted onto the rocker cover, remove the rocker cover. Spray POWERPART Lay-Up 2 around the rocker shaftassembly. Fit the filler cap or rocker cover.

15 Seal the vent pipe of the fuel tank or the fuel filler cap with waterproof tape.

16 Remove the drive belts and put them into storage.

17 In order to prevent corrosion, spray the engine with POWERPART Lay-Up 3. Do not spray the area insidethe alternator cooling fan.

If the engine protection is done correctly according to the above recommendations, no corrosion damage willnormally occur.

How to start the engine

Warning! Ether type fuels must not be used in the 1100 series four cylinder engine.

The 1104 electronic engines are fitted with an automatic glow plug cold starting system. The 1104 mechanicalengines have a manual system. Refer to the equipment manual for the type of starting aid fitted.

Several factors affect engine start, for example:

! The power of the batteries

! The performance of the starter motor

! The viscosity of the lubricating oil

! The installation of a cold starting system.

The engine is fitted with a cold starting device for normal conditions of operation. Diesel engines need an extracold starting aid if they are to start in very cold conditions. Normally, your vehicle or your machine will be fittedwith the correct equipment for your region of operation.

Glow Plug starting aid

An electrically operated device fitted to each cylinder that heats the intake air.

1 Turn the start key to the “R” position (A) and keep it there for 20 seconds.

2 Turn the start key to the “S” position (A) to engage the starter motor. Allow the start key to return to the “R”position, when the engine starts.

3 If the engine does not start in 30 seconds, turn the start key to the “0” position (A). Wait for 90 seconds. Thenturn the start key to the “R” position (A) and keep it there for 20 seconds. Then engage the starter motor for amaximum period of 30 seconds.

How to start a warm electronic engine

1 Turn the start key to the “S” position (A) to engage starter motor for a maximum period of 30 seconds.

2 Allow the start key to return to the “R” position (A) as soon as the engine starts.

3 If the engine does not start in 30 seconds, turn the start key to the “0” position (A) and wait 90 seconds. Thenengage the starter motor again for a maximum period of 30 seconds.

How to start a cold mechanical engine with the glow plug starting aid

1 Turn the start key to the “H” position (B) and keep it there for 20 seconds.

2 Adjust the engine speed control to the maximum speed position.

3 Turn the start key to the “HS” position (B) to engage the starter motor. Allow the start key to return to the “R”position (B) when the engine starts. Then adjust the engine speed control to give an even idle speed.

4 If the engine does not start in 30 seconds, turn the start key to the “0” position (B) and wait 90 seconds. Turnthe start key to the “H” position (B) and hold it there for 20 seconds. Then engage the starter motor again, fora maximum period of 30 seconds.

How to stop the engine

Caution: It is recommended that a turbocharged engine is run at approximately 1000 rev/min at a reducedload for 2-3 minutes before it is shut down. This will allow the turbocharger to cool.

Turn the engine start key to the "O" position (A or B on page 18).

Adjustment of the engine speed range

Caution: The engine speed settings should not be changed by the engine operator, because this can causethe exhaust emissions to become excessive and may also damage the engine or transmission.

Note: For electronic engines the speed range is controlled by the ECM.

Running-in

Cautions:! Do not operate the engine at high speeds without a load.

! Do not overload the engine.

A gradual running-in of a new engine or an exchange engine is not necessary. Prolonged operation at lightloads during the early life of the engine can cause lubricating oil to enter the exhaust system. Maximum loadcan be applied to a new engine as soon as the engine is put into service and when the coolant temperaturehas reached a minimum of 60 °C (140 °F).

The engine will benefit if the load is applied as soon as possible after the engine is put into service.

Turbocharged engines

Because of the power characteristics of the turbocharged engines, when fitted in vehicles, it is necessary tomaintain a high engine speed when you need full load. To ensure that the engine is not overloaded at lowengine speeds engage a lower gear.

Angle of tilt

Warning! Do not operate the engine at an angle of tilt greater than the limit approved for the engine. Refer tothe equipment handbook for details.

Preventive maintenance schedules

The schedules which follow must be applied at the intervals (hours or months) which ever occur first.

(1) By a person who has had the correct training.(2) The oil service interval will change with the amount of sulphur in the fuel see, "Fuel specification" on page 39. The interval to changethe canister or element of the lubricating oil filter is not affected.(3) See, "Lubricating oil specification" on page 40.(4) Renew the antifreeze every 2 years. If a coolant inhibitor is used instead of antifreeze, it should be renewed every 6 months. Ifcombustion gases are released into the coolant circuit, the coolant must be renewed.(5) For turbocharged and charge cooled engines only see,"How to renew the closed crankcase breather filter element" on page 33.(6) Engines with high load factor or high oil temperature will require a 250 hour or 12 months service period, whichever occurs first.This would normally be determined between the customer and the Perkins applications engineer, but would typically be anything above75% load factor (average) or 125 °C oil temperature (more than 1 hour in 12). Load factors should be expressed in actual f uel useddivided by fuel load rated speed used. For further information and advice, contact Perkins applications.(7) Check, and if necessary renew the air filter element.

How to drain the cooling system

Warning! Do not drain the coolant while the engine is still hot and the system is under pressure becausedangerous hot coolant can be discharged.

Caution: To prevent frost damage, ensure that all of the coolant is removed from the engine. This is importantif the system is drained after it has been flushed with water, or if an antifreeze solution which is too weak toprotect the system from frost has been used.

1 Ensure that the machine is on level ground.

2 Remove the filler cap of the coolant system.

3 Open the tap or remove the drain plug at the bottom of the radiator in order to drain the radiator. If the radiatordoes not have a tap or drain plug, disconnect the hose at the bottom of the radiator.

4 Remove the drain plug (A1) from the side of the cylinder block in order to drain the engine. Ensure that thedrain hole is not restricted.

5 Flush the coolant system with clean water.

6 Fit the drain plug (A1) and tighten to 40 Nm (29,5 lbf ft) 4,1kgf m.

7 Fit the filler cap and close the radiator tap, or fit the bottom hose.

How to fill the cooling system

Warning! Refer to your equipment supplier's handbook for the application to fill the cooling system. If coolantis to be added to the system during service, allow the engine to cool before the coolant is added. Do not addcoolant while the engine is still hot and the system is under pressure because dangerous hot coolant can bedischarged.

Caution: If coolant is added to the circuit during service, it must consist of the same original mixture as usedto fill the system. For details of the correct coolant to be used in the system, see "Coolant specification" onpage 40.

1 Ensure that the top and bottom hose connections are fitted correctly.

2 Check that the drain plug (A1) on the side of the cylinder block is fitted and tighten to 40 Nm (29,5 lbf ft)4,1kgf m. Ensure that the radiator tap is closed, if one is fitted.

3 Remove filler cap. Fill the cooling system with coolant of the correct specification, see "Coolant specification"on page 40.

4 Continue to slowly fill the cooling system to the correct level, refer to the user’s handbook for the application.

5 Fit the filler cap, run the engine to normal operating temperature. Stop the engine. When the engine hascooled, check the coolant level. If necessary, fill again to the correct level.

How to check the specific gravity of the coolant

For mixtures which contain inhibited ethylene glycol:

1 Ensure that the machine is on level ground.

2 Operate the engine until it is warm enough to open the thermostat. Continue to run the engine until thecoolant has circulated the cooling system.

3 Stop the engine.

4 Allow the engine to cool until the temperature of the coolant is below 60 °C (140 °F).

Warning! Do not drain the coolant while the engine is still hot and the system is under pressure becausedangerous hot coolant can be discharged.

5 Remove the filler cap of the cooling system.

6 Drain some coolant from the cooling system into a suitable container.

7 Use a special coolant hydrometer that will check the temperature and the specific gravity of the coolant,follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Note: If a special coolant hydrometer is not available, put a hydrometer and a separate thermometer into theantifreeze mixture and check the readings on both instruments. Compare the readings with the chart (A).

8 Adjust the strength of the mixture as necessary.

Note: If it is necessary to fill or replenish the coolant system in service, mix the coolant to the correct strengthbefore it is added to the coolant system. Perkins POWERPART antifreeze with a concentration of 50% will giveprotection against frost to a temperature of -35 °C (-31 °F). It will also give protection against corrosion. Thisis especially important when there are aluminium components in the coolant circuit.

How to check the drive belt(s)

Renew a belt if it is worn or damaged. If twin belts are fitted, they must be renewed together.

To ensure maximum belt life, it is recommended that a belt tensioner gauge is used to check the belt tension.Fit the gauge (A1) at the centre of the longest free length and check the tension. The correct tension is 535 N(120 lbf) 54 kgf. If the tension is 250 N (56 lbf) 25 kgf or below, adjust the belt to 535 N (120 lbf) 54 kgf asindicated below:

If twin belts are fitted, check and if necessary adjust the tension on both the belts.

How to adjust the belt tension

1 Loosen the pivot fastener (B1) of the alternator and the adjustment link fasteners (B2) and (C1).

2 Change the position of the alternator to give the correct tension. Tighten the pivot fastener of the alternatorand the adjustment link fasteners to 22 Nm (16 lbf ft) 2,2 kgf m.

3 Check the belt tension again to ensure that it is still correct. If a new belt is fitted, the belt tension must bechecked again after the first 20 hours of operation.

A pre-filter, if fitted, is installed between the fuel tank and the engine. Check the pre-filter bowl for water atregular intervals and drain as necessary, see "Preventive maintenance schedules" on page 22.

How to renew the fuel filter element

Warnings!! The combustible material of some components of the engine (for example certain seals) can become

extremely dangerous if it is burned. Never allow this burnt material to come into contact with the skin or withthe eyes.

! Discard the used element and fuel oil in a safe place and in accordance with local regulations.

! Ensure that the starter switch is in the off position before servicing or repairs are made to the fuel system,because fuel will be released if the lift pump has power.

! If the fuel level in the tank is higher than the fuel lift pump, all the fuel line valves must be closed beforemaintenance or repairs are made to the fuel system, if this is not done, the fuel system will drain.

Cautions:! It is important that only genuine Perkins parts are used. The use of an element that is not a genuine Perkins

part may damage the fuel injection pump and the warranty.

! The pre-filter canister and main filter elements must be renewed at the same time.

! Do not allow dirt to enter the fuel system. Before a connection is disconnected, clean thoroughly the areaaround the connection. After a component has been disconnected, fit a suitable cover to all openconnections.

Caution: Do not operate the engine if there is a blockage in the air filter or the induction hose. This can causelubricating oil to enter the cylinders through the breather valve.

Environmental conditions have an important effect on the frequency at which the air filter needs service.

Certain air filters have a separate dust bowl (A1) which must be cleaned at intervals. The amount of dust in thebowl shows if it has been removed at the correct time for the conditions of operation. Do not let dust completelyfill the bowl, because this will reduce the life of the filter element (A2).

Certain air filters have automatic dust valves (B1) through which dust is expelled from the filter. The rubberdust valve must be kept clean. Ensure that the sides of the valves close completely together and that they canseparate freely.

If a restriction indicator (C) is fitted, it will indicate precisely when the air filter element needs service. Thisprevents the premature removal of the filter element which causes extra cost or late removal of the elementwhich can cause loss of engine power. The filter element must be cleaned or renewed according to themanufacturers recommendations.

Always ensure that the correct viscosity grade of lubricating oil is used for the ambient temperature range inwhich the engine will run as shown in the chart (A).

Use only a good quality lubricating oil to the minimum specification of:

! API CG-4

! API CH-4

! ACEA E3

! ACEA E5.

Coolant specification

The quality of the coolant that is used can have a great effect on the efficiency and life of the cooling system.The recommendations indicated below can help to maintain a good cooling system and to protect it againstfrost and/or corrosion.

If the correct procedures are not used, Perkins cannot be held responsible for damage caused by frost orcorrosion.

Cautions:! An antifreeze which contains the correct inhibitor must be used at all times to prevent damage to the engine

by corrosion, because of the use of aluminium in the coolant circuit,

! If frost protection is not necessary, it is still extremely important to use an approved antifreeze mixturebecause this gives a protection against corrosion and also raises the boiling point of the coolant.

Note: If combustion gases are released into the coolant circuit, the coolant must be renewed after repair of thefault.

The antifreeze that is recommended for this engine is the latest POWERPART Antifreeze, see "POWERPARTAntifreeze" on page 6. This antifreeze contains the correct corrosion inhibitor that is especially suitable for thisengine.

If it is possible, use clean soft water in the coolant.

The quality of the antifreeze coolant must be checked at least once a year, for example, at the beginning ofthe cold period. The coolant must be renewed every two years.

The antifreeze mixture must consist of equal quantities of antifreeze and water. The corrosion inhibitor in theantifreeze will be diluted if a concentration of less than 50% of antifreeze is used. Concentrations of more than50% of antifreeze may have an adverse effect on the performance of the coolant.
