Do not store ether cylinders in living areas or in the
engine compartment. Do not store ether cylinders in
direct sunlight or in temperatures above 49° C
(120° F). Keep ether cylinders away from open
flames or sparks.
Lines, Tubes, and Hoses
Do not bend high-pressure lines. Do not strike high-
pressure lines. Do not install any lines that are
damaged.
Leaks can cause fires. Consult your Perkins dealer or
your Perkins distributor for replacement parts.
Replace the parts if any of the following conditions
are present:
• High-pressure fuel line or lines are removed.
• End fittings are damaged or leaking.
• Outer coverings are chafed or cut.
• Wires are exposed.
• Outer coverings are ballooning.
• Flexible parts of the hoses are kinked.
• Outer covers have embedded armoring.
• End fittings are displaced.
Make sure that all clamps, guards, and heat shields
are installed correctly. During engine operation,
correct installation will help to prevent vibration,
rubbing against other parts, and excessive heat.

Crushing
Prevention
and
Cutting
Prevention
Support
the
component
correctly
when
work
beneath
the
component
is
performed.
Unless

instructions
are
provided,
never
attempt
adjustments
while

Stay
clear
of
all
rotating
parts
and
of

is
performed.
After
the
maintenance
is
performed,
reinstall
the
guards.
Keep
objects
away
from
moving
fan
blades.
The
fan
blades
will
throw
objects
or
cut
objects.
When
objects
are
struck,
wear
protective
glasses
in
order
to
avoid
injury
to
the
eyes.
Chips or other debris may fly off objects when objects
are struck. Before objects are struck, ensure that no
one will be injured by flying debris.

High
Pressure
Fuel
Lines
Contact with high pressure fuel may cause fluid
penetration and burn hazards. High pressure fuel
spray may cause a fire hazard. Failure to follow
these inspection, maintenance and service in-
structions may cause personal injury or death.
The high-pressure fuel lines are the fuel lines that are
between the high-pressure fuel pump and the high-
pressure fuel manifold and the fuel lines that are
between the fuel manifold and cylinder head. These
fuel lines are different from fuel lines on other fuel
systems.
The different is because of the following items:
• The high-pressure fuel lines are constantly
charged with high pressure.
• The internal pressures of the high-pressure fuel
lines are higher than other types of fuel system.
• The high-pressure fuel lines are formed to shape
and then strengthened by a special process.
Do not step on the high-pressure fuel lines. Do not
deflect the high-pressure fuel lines. Do not bend or
strike the high-pressure fuel lines. Deformation or
damage of the high-pressure fuel lines may cause a
point of weakness and potential failure.
Do not check the high-pressure fuel lines with the
engine or the starting motor in operation. After the
engine has stopped, you must wait for 10 minutes to
allow the fuel pressure to be purged from the high-
pressure fuel lines before any service or repair is
performed on the engine fuel lines. The 10 minute
wait will also allow static charge to dissipate from the
low-pressure fuel system.
