Operation and maintenance manual

Avoid static electricity risk when fueling. Ultra-
low sulfur diesel fuel (ULSD fuel) poses a greater
static ignition hazard than earlier diesel formula-
tions with a higher sulfur contents. Avoid death
or serious injury from fire or explosion. Consult
with your fuel or fuel system supplier to ensure
the delivery system is in compliance with fueling
standards for proper grounding and bonding
practices.
Asbestos Information
Illustration 6 g00702022
Perkins replacement parts that are shipped from
Perkins are asbestos free. Perkins recommends the
use of only genuine Perkins replacement parts. Use
the following guidelines when you handle any
replacement parts that contain asbestos or when you
handle asbestos debris.
Use caution. Avoid inhaling dust that might be
generated when you handle components that contain
asbestos fibers. Inhaling this dust can be hazardous
to your health. The components that may contain
asbestos fibers are brake pads, brake bands, lining
material, clutch plates, and some gaskets. The
asbestos that is used in these components is usually
bound in a resin or sealed in some way. Normal
handling is not hazardous unless airborne dust that
contains asbestos is generated.
If dust that may contain asbestos is present, there
are several guidelines that should be followed:
• Never use compressed air for cleaning.
• Avoid brushing materials that contain asbestos.
• Avoid grinding materials that contain asbestos.
• Use a wet method to clean up asbestos materials.
• A vacuum cleaner that is equipped with a high
efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA) can also be
used.
• Use exhaust ventilation on permanent machining
jobs.
• Wear an approved respirator if there is no other
way to control the dust.
• Comply with applicable rules and regulations for
the work place. In the United States, use
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) requirements. These OSHA requirements
can be found in “29 CFR 1910.1001”.
• Obey environmental regulations for the disposal of
asbestos.
• Stay away from areas that might have asbestos
particles in the air.
Dispose of Waste Properly
Illustration 7 g00706404
Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the
environment. Potentially harmful fluids should be
disposed of according to local regulations.
Always use leakproof containers when you drain
fluids. Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a
drain, or into any source of water.

Burn Prevention
Do not touch any part of an operating engine system.
The engine, the exhaust, and the engine
aftertreatment system can reach temperatures as
high as 650 °C (1202 °F) under normal operating
conditions.
At idle engine speed and/or zero vehicle speed, an
operator can request manual regeneration. Under
this condition, the exhaust gas temperature can
reach 650 °C (1202 °F). Otherwise automatic
regeneration can produce exhaust gas temperatures
as high as 650 °C (1202 °F).
