Engine Protective Devices -
Check
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.
A calibration check of the engine protective devices
will ensure that the alarms and shutoffs activate at
the setpoints. Ensure that the engine protective
devices are functioning properly.
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.
To prevent damage to the engine, only authorized
service personnel or your Perkins dealer should
perform the tests.
