NOTICE
Never bend the eyebolts and the brackets. Only load
the eyeb
olts and the brackets under tension. Remem-
ber that the capacity of an eyebolt is less as the angle
between the supporting members and the object be-
comes le
ss than 90 degrees.
When it is necessary to remove a component at an
angle, o
nly use a link bracket that is properly rated for
the weight.
Use a ho
ist to remove heavy components. Use
an adjustable lifting beam to lift the engine. All
supporting members (chains and cables) should be
parall
el to each other. The chains and cables should
be perpendicular to the top of the object that is being
lifted.
Some removals r
equire lifting the fixtures in order to
obtain correct balance and safety.
To re move t he e
ngine ONLY, use the lifting eyes that
are on the engine.
Lifting eyes a
re designed and installed for specific
engine arrangements. Alterations to the lifting eyes
and/or the engine make the lifting eyes and the lifting
fixtures obso
lete. If alterations are made, ensure
that correct lifting devices are provided. Consult
your Perkins dealer or your Perkins distributor for
information
regarding fixtures for correct engine
lifting.

Engine Storage
If the engine will not be started for several weeks, the
lubricating oil will drain from the cylinder walls and
from the piston rings. Rust can form on the cylinder
walls. Rust on the cylinder walls will cause increased
engine wear and a reduction in engine service life.
Lubrication System
To help prevent excessive engine wear, use the
following guidelines:
Complete all of the lubrication recommendations that
are listed in this Operation and Maintenance Manual,
“Maintenance Interval Schedule” (Maintenance
Section).
If an engine is out of operation and if use of the engine
is not planned, special precautions should be made.
If the engine will be stored for more than one month,
a complete protection procedure is recommended.
Use the following guidelines :
•
Completely clean the outside of the engine.
•
Drain the fuel system completely and refill
the system with preservative fuel.1772204
POWERPART Lay-Up 1 can be mixed with
the normal fuel in order to change the fuel into
preservative fuel.
•
If preservative fuel is not available, the fuel system
can be filled with normal fuel. This fuel must be
discarded at the end of the storage period together
with the fuel filter elements.
•
Operate the engine until the engine reaches normal
operating temperature. Stop any leaks from fuel,
lubricating oil or air systems. Stop the engine and
drain the lubricating oil from the oil pan.
