Maintenance Recommendations
Perkins Engines Company Limited engines are
certi
fi
ed by the EPA and the CARB in order to comply
with exhaust emission standards and gaseous
emission standards that are prescribed by the law at
the time of manufacture.
Ef
fi
ciency of the emission control and the engine
performance depends on adherence to proper
operation and maintenance recommendations and
use of recommended fuels and lubricating oils.
According to recommendations, major adjustments
and repairs should be made by your authorized
Perkins distributor or your authorized Perkins dealer.
Various chemical fuel additives which claim to reduce
visible smoke are available commercially. Although
additives have been used to solve some isolated
smoke problems in the
fi
eld, additives are not
recommended for general use. The engines should
be certi
fi
ed without smoke depressants according to
federal smoke regulations.
Take corrective steps immediately after worn parts
which may affect the emissions level are discovered
in order to ensure the proper operation of the
emission control systems. The use of genuine
Perkins components is recommended. If the owner
uses non-Perkins components, then the non-Perkins
components must not adversely affect the emissions
level of the engine.
For information on the use of Aftermarket Products
and Perkins Engines, refer to this Operation and
Maintenance Manual, “Engine Description”.
Regular maintenance intervals with a special
emphasis on the following items are necessary in
order to keep exhaust emissions within acceptable
limits for the useful life of the engine. Refer to the
Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Severe Service
Application - Check” topic (Maintenance Section).
If the engine is operating under severe conditions,
adjust the maintenance schedule accordingly.
See your authorized Perkins distributor/dealer in
order to help analyze your speci
fi
c application,
operating environment, and maintenance schedule
adjustments.
