This
maintenance
is
recommended
by
Perkins
as
part
of
a
lubrication
and
preventive
maintenance
schedule
in
order
to
help
provide
maximum
engine
life.
NOTICE
Only qualified service personel should perform this
maintenance. Refer to the Service Manual or your au-
thorized Perkins dealer or your Perkins distributor for
the complete valve lash adjustment procedure.
Operation of Perkins engines with incorrect valve
lash can reduce engine efficiency, and also reduce
engine component life.
Ensure that the engine can not be started while
this maintenance is being performed. To help pre-
vent possible injury, do not use the starting motor
to turn the flywheel.
Hot engine components can cause burns. Allow
additional time for the engine to cool before
measuring/adjusting valve lash clearance.
Ensure that the engine is stopped before measuring
the valve lash. The engine valve lash can be
inspected and adjusted when the temperature of the
engine is hot or cold.
Refer to Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting,
“Engine Valve Lash - Inspect/Adjust” for more
information.

Fuel leaked or spilled onto hot surfaces or electri-
cal components can cause a fire.
NOTICE
Do not allow dirt to enter the fuel system. Thoroughly
clean the area around a fuel system component that
will be disconnected. Fit a suitable cover over discon-
nected fuel system component.
NOTICE
If a fuel injector is suspected of operating outside of
normal parameters it should be removed by a quali-
fied technician. The suspect fuel injector should be
taken to an authorised agent for inspection.
The fuel injector (1) in illustration 36 has no fuel
return. The fuel injector (2) has a fuel return.
