Engine Protective Devices -
Check
Visual Inspection
Visually check the condition of all gauges, sensors
and wiring. Look for wiring and components that
are loose, broken, or damaged. Damaged wiring
or components should be repaired or replaced
immediately.
Calibration Check
NOTICE
During testing, abnormal operating conditions must be
simulated.
The tests must be performed correctly in order to pre-
vent possible damage to the engine.
Alarms and shutoffs must function properly. Alarms
provide timely warning to the operator. Shutoffs help
to prevent damage to the engine. It is impossible
to determine if the engine protective devices are
in good working order during normal operation.
Malfunctions must be simulated in order to test the
engine protective devices. To prevent damage to the
engine, only authorized service personnel or your
Perkins distributor should perform the tests.
Consult your Perkins distributor or refer to the Service
Manual for more information.
