Circuit breakers
Cautions:
• Always t the correct breaker. Damage to the wiring loom
may occur if a higher rated breaker is tted.
• Always nd the cause of a breaker failure and correct the
fault. If in doubt, consult an electrician at your nearest
Perkins distributor.
A wiring loom, which includes a breaker panel to protect
the wiring from damage by a short circuit, has been tted
to your engine.
The breaker panel is below the exhaust manifold and
above the oil lter and has the following breakers:
• 10Amp - start
• 105Amp - glow plugs
Should a breaker trip, it will stand proud of the panel and it
can be reset by pushing it in.
Warning! Ensure the electrical system is isolated before
performing any electrical work on the engine.
If a breaker needs to be replaced, realease the two retaining
screws and remove the wires.
Insert the new breaker by attaching the wires and re-
attaching with the retaining screws.
