Safety Section
General Hazard Information
• The engine is stopped. Ensure that the engine
cannot be started.
• Disconnect the batteries when maintenance is
performed or when the electrical system is
serviced. Disconnect the battery ground leads.
Tape the leads in order to help prevent sparks.
• Do not attempt any repairs that are not
understood. Use the proper tools. Replace any
equipment that is damaged or repair the

Pressurized Air and Water
Pressurized air and/or water can cause debris and/or
hot water to be blown out. This action could result in
personal injury.
Illustration 5
g00687600
Always use a board or cardboard when you check for
a leak. Leaking fluid that is under pressure can
penetrate body tissue. Fluid penetration can cause
serious injury and possible death. A pin hole leak can
cause severe injury. If fluid is injected into your skin,
you must get treatment immediately. Seek treatment
from a doctor that is familiar with this type of injury.
When pressurized air and/or pressurized water is
used for cleaning, wear protective clothing, protective
shoes, and eye protection. Eye protection includes
goggles or a protective face shield.
The maximum air pressure for cleaning purposes
must be below 205 kPa (30 psi). The maximum water
pressure for cleaning purposes must be below
275 kPa (40 psi).
Containing Fluid Spillage
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are
contained during performance of inspection,
maintenance, testing, adjusting, and repair of the
product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable
containers before opening any compartment or
disassembling any component containing fluids.
Fluid Penetration
Pressure can be trapped in the hydraulic circuit long
after the engine has been stopped. The pressure can
cause hydraulic fluid or items such as pipe plugs to
escape rapidly if the pressure is not relieved correctly.
Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and
mandates.
Do not remove any hydraulic components or parts
until pressure has been relieved or personal injury
may occur. Do not disassemble any hydraulic
components or parts until pressure has been relieved
or personal injury may occur. Refer to the OEM
information for any procedures that are required to
relieve the hydraulic pressure.
Static Electricity Hazard when
Fueling with Ultra-low Sulfur Diesel
Fuel
The removal of sulfur and other compounds in ultra-
low sulfur diesel fuel (ULSD fuel) decreases the
conductivity of ULSD and increases the ability of
ULSD to store static charge. Refineries may have
treated the fuel with a static dissipating additive.
Many factors can reduce the effectiveness of the
additive over time. Static charges can build up in
ULSD fuel while the fuel is flowing through fuel
delivery systems. Static electricity discharge when
combustible vapors are present could result in a fire
or explosion. Ensure that the entire system used to
refuel your machine (fuel supply tank, transfer pump,
transfer hose, nozzle, and others) is properly
grounded and bonded. Consult with your fuel or fuel
system supplier to ensure that the delivery system
complies with fueling standards for proper grounding
and bonding.

General Hazard Information
• Never use compressed air for cleaning.
• Avoid brushing materials that contain asbestos.
• Avoid grinding materials that contain asbestos.
Avoid static electricity risk when fueling. Ultra-low
sulfur diesel fuel (ULSD fuel) poses a greater stat-
ic ignition hazard than earlier diesel formulations
with a higher sulfur contents. Avoid death or seri-
ous injury from fire or explosion. Consult with
your fuel or fuel system supplier to ensure the de-
livery system is in compliance with fueling stand-
ards for proper grounding and bonding practices.
• Use a wet method in order to clean up asbestos
materials.

guidelines when you handle any replacement parts
that contain asbestos or when you handle asbestos
debris.
Illustration 7
g00706404
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.
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

Expected engine life is predicted by the average
power that is demanded. The average power that is
demanded is based on fuel consumption of the
engine over a time. Reduced hours of operation at full
throttle and/or operating at reduced throttle settings
result in a lower average power demand. Reduced
hours of operation will increase the length of
operating time before an engine overhaul is required.

Shutdown
If the engine reaches the Shutdown condition, one of
the following events has occurred: low lubricating oil
pressure, high coolant temperature, or overspeed.
The event will be logged in the memory of the ECM.
The engine will be shut down. An event code will be
transmitted over the Perkins Data link and the hard
wired Shutdown output will be energized. The
Shutdown condition will latch until the ECM is reset.
The event code for the shutdown cannot be cleared
from the memory of the ECM without using a factory
password.
• Intake Manifold Temperature
• Intake Manifold Pressure
• Fuel Temperature
The temperature protection is disabled for a period
when the engine is cranking in order to compensate
for heat soak solutions.
Critical Protection Override
The ECM has dedicated alarm outputs for each of the
three stages of protection. There are also dedicated
alarm outputs for oil pressure, coolant temperature,
and overspeed events which are energized at any
stage of protection.
If the engine is in an application that is critical for
safety, the protection system can be overridden in
order to ensure the continuation of the power supply
during engine fault conditions.
Critical Protection Override will be set by a switch
input from the OEM. For example, switch to battery +
in order to disable a critical override. Critical
Protection Override input can be enabled in the
electronic service tool by use of a factory password.
Warning Alarm
The Warning alarm informs the user that the engine is
approaching a critical condition.
When the Critical Protection Override feature is
active, the ECM will continue to run the engine in all
shutdown conditions except for Overspeed shutdown.
If the shutdown is overridden, an event code is
generated. The ECM will log the event code. The
ECM will energize the following: Warning, Action
Alert, Shutdown, oil pressure, coolant temperature
and overspeed outputs as normal. The warranty of
the engine will be invalidated if the engine is operated
in the following conditions: active event code and
Critical Protection Override mode.
If the engine is in the Warning condition, then the
event will be logged in the memory of the ECM. An
event code will be transmitted over the Perkins Data
link and the hard wired Warning output will be
energized. If the engine is in the Warning condition,
the event code and output will remain while the
condition exists. The electronic service tool is used to
remove the event code from the memory of the ECM.
The trip point for the Warning alarm will be set to a
factory default in production. The electronic service
tool may be used to alter the trip point for a Warning
within predefined limits.
Standard Warning Outputs
Action Alert
The ECM provides individual outputs in order to drive
warning lamps or relays to indicate each of the
following fault conditions:
The Action Alert informs the OEM that the engine is
approaching a critical condition. The engine should
be stopped in a controlled manner. Further running of
the engine may result in an immediate shutdown.
• Diagnostic Fault
• Oil Pressure
• Coolant Temperature
• Overspeed
If the engine is in the Action Alert condition, the event
will be logged in the memory of the ECM. An event
code will be transmitted over the Perkins Data link
and the hard wired Action Alert will be energized. If
the engine is in the Action Alert condition, the event
code and output will remain while the condition exists.
The event code cannot be cleared from the memory
of the ECM without using a factory password.
• Action Alert
• Warning
• Shutdown
If the ECM detects a warning for the coolant
temperature , the output on the coolant temperature
will be energized and the warning output will be
energized. If the ECM detects a warning for the low
oil pressure, the output on the oil pressure will be
energized and the warning output will be energized.

Features and Controls
Sensors and Electrical Components
If the Action Alert alarms are enabled and the ECM
detects a coolant temperature condition, the output
on the coolant Temperature will be energized and the
output on the Action Alert will be energized.
The Diagnostic output differs from the Warning and
Shutdown outputs. The Warning and Shutdown
outputs refer to the operation of the engine. The
Diagnostic output refers to the condition of the
electronic system and software system.
If the engine shuts down on low oil pressure the
output on the low oil pressure will be energized and
the output on the shutdown will be energized. If the
engine shuts down on coolant temperature, or the
engine shuts down on overspeed the dedicated
output and the shutdown output will be energized.
A diagnostic fault may develop on the lubricating oil
pressure or coolant temperature sensors. For
example, if a Shutdown protection sensor has a fault,
this will result in an engine shutdown, unless the
system is in critical protection override. If a diagnostic
fault occurs, with one of the engine speed sensors
while the engine is running. The engine continues to
run by using the other timing sensor for reference.
Shutdown Reset
The cause of an engine shutdown must be
investigated. Corrective action must be taken before
the system is reset in order to operate the engine.
i06137289
Sensors and Electrical
Components
After an engine shutdown, operate the reset input of
the ECM or power down the controller.
Powering down the electronic control module can be
achieved by the operation of the keyswitch into sleep
mode. The electronic control module can be powered
down by isolating the power supply to the electronic
control module.
The illustrations within the following sections are
typical location of the sensors or electrical
components for an industrial engine. Specific engines
may appear different due to differences in
applications.
Note: The ECM cannot be reset by using the Reset
input until the engine has stopped.
Diagnostic
If there is a fault with an engine protection sensor on
the engine, the engine activates a diagnostic code.
The engine communicates the diagnostic code to the
operator via the Diagnostic output. The diagnostic
code provides an indication to the operator of a fault
with the engine protection system. Running of the
engine for a prolonged period in this condition may
result in engine failure. The output is generally used
to drive lamps or relays.
The following sensors are monitored in order to
determine if the sensors are out of the normal range,
an open circuit, or a short circuit:
• Atmosphere Pressure
• Lubricating Oil Pressure
• Inlet Manifold Pressure
• Inlet Manifold Temperature
• Fuel Temperature
• Coolant Temperature
• Engine Speed

Engine Operation with Active
Diagnostic Codes
Active codes represent problems that currently exist.
These problems should be investigated first.
Logged codes represent the following items:
• Intermittent problems
If a diagnostic lamp illuminates during normal engine
operation, the system has identified a situation that is
not within the specification. Use electronic service
tools to check the active diagnostic codes.
• Recorded events
• Performance history
Note: If the customer has selected “DERATE” and if
there is a low oil pressure condition, the Electronic
Control Module (ECM) will limit the engine power until
the problem is corrected. If the oil pressure is within
the normal range, the engine may be operated at the
rated speed and load. However, maintenance should
be performed as soon as possible.
The problems may have been repaired since the
logging of the code. These codes do not indicate that
a repair is needed. The codes are guides or signals
when a situation exists. Codes may be helpful to
troubleshoot problems.
When the problems have been corrected, the
corresponding logged fault codes should be cleared.
The active diagnostic code should be investigated.
The cause of the problem should be corrected as
soon as possible. If the cause of the active diagnostic
code is repaired and there is only one active
i03554520
diagnostic code, the diagnostic lamp will turn off.

Operation of the engine and performance of the
engine can be limited as a result of the active
diagnostic code that is generated. Acceleration rates
may be significantly slower. Refer to the
Troubleshooting Guide for more information on the
relationship between these active diagnostic codes

intermittent fault may have occurred. If a fault has
occurred, the fault will be logged into the memory of
the Electronic Control Module (ECM).
In most cases, it is not necessary to stop the engine
because of an intermittent code. However, the
operator should retrieve the logged fault codes and
the operator should reference the appropriate
information in order to identify the nature of the event.
The operator should log any observation that could
have caused the lamp to light.

• Inspect the cooling system hoses for cracks and
for loose clamps.
• Check the coolant level. Observe the coolant level
in the coolant recovery tank (if equipped). Maintain
the coolant level to the “FULL” mark on the
coolant recovery tank.
• Inspect the alternator and accessory drive belts for
cracks, breaks, and other damage.
• Inspect the wiring for loose connections and for
worn wires or frayed wires.
• If the engine is not equipped with a coolant
recovery tank maintain the coolant level within
13 mm (0.5 inch) of the bottom of the filler pipe. If
the engine is equipped with a sight glass, maintain
the coolant level in the sight glass.
• Check the fuel supply. Drain water from the water
separator (if equipped). Open the fuel supply
valve.
• Observe the air cleaner service indicator (if
equipped). Service the air cleaner when the yellow
diaphragm enters the red zone, or when the red
piston locks in the visible position.
NOTICE
All valves in the fuel return line must be open before
and during engine operation to help prevent high fuel
pressure. High fuel pressure may cause filter housing
failure or other damage.
• Ensure that any driven equipment has been
disengaged. Minimize electrical loads or remove
any electrical loads.
If the engine has not been started for several weeks,
fuel may have drained from the fuel system. Air may
have entered the filter housing. Also, when fuel filters
have been changed, some air pockets will be trapped
in the engine. In these instances, prime the fuel
system. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance
Manual, “Fuel System - Prime” for more information
on priming the fuel system.

Cold Weather Starting
Startability will be improved at temperatures below
10°C (50°F) from the use of a cylinder block coolant
heater or from other means that are used to heat the
crankcase oil. Some engine applications use a jacket
water heater to improve startability. Use of a jacket
water heater will help reduce white smoke and misfire
during start-up in cold weather.
Engine exhaust contains products of combustion
which may be harmful to your health. Always start
and operate the engine in a well ventilated area
and, if in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the
outside.

Engine Starting
Starting the Engine
Note: If the engine has not been run for several
weeks, fuel may have drained. Air may have moved
into the filter housing. Also, when fuel filters have
been changed, some air will be left in the filter
housing. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance
Manual, “Fuel System - Prime” (Maintenance
Section) for more information on priming the fuel
system.
During the key on, all warning lamps will illuminate
for a few seconds, in order to test the circuits. If
any lamps do not illuminate, check the bulbs and
replace as necessary.
NOTICE
Do not engage the starting motor when flywheel is
turning. Do not start the engine under load.
Ether Injection System (If
Equipped)
If the engine fails to start within 30 seconds, release
the starter switch or button and wait two minutes to al-
low the starting motor to cool before attempting to
start the engine again.
The ether injection system is controlled by the ECM.
The ECM monitors the coolant temperature, intake air
temperature, ambient air temperature, and barometric
pressure to determine when ether injection is needed.
At sea level, ether will be used if any of the
temperatures fails to exceed 0° C (32° F). This
temperature is subject to an increase as barometric
pressure increases.
3. Push the start button or turn the ignition switch to
the START position in order to crank the engine.
Do not push down or hold the throttle down while
the engine is cranked. The system will
automatically provide the correct amount of fuel
that is needed to start the engine.
4. If the engine fails to start within 30 seconds,
release the start button, or the ignition switch. Wait
for 2 minutes in order to allow the starting motor to
cool before attempting to start the engine again.
Personal injury or property damage can result
from alcohol or starting fluids.
Alcohol or starting fluids are highly flammable
and toxic and if improperly stored could result in
injury or property damage.
NOTICE
Oil pressure should rise within 15 seconds after the
engine starts. Do not increase engine rpm until the oil
pressure gauge indicates normal. If oil pressure is not
indicated on the gauge within 15 seconds, DO NOT
operate the engine. STOP the engine, investigate
and correct the cause.
Follow the procedure in this Operation and
Maintenance Manual, “Starting the Engine”.

Starting the Engine
5. Allow the engine to idle for approximately 3
minutes. Idle the engine until the water
temperature gauge has begun to rise. Check all
gauges during the warm-up period.
Engine exhaust contains products of combustion
which may be harmful to your health. Always start
and operate the engine in a well ventilated area
and, if in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the
outside.
Note: Oil pressures and fuel pressures should be in
the normal range on the instrument panel. Engines
that are equipped with “WARNING” lamps do not
have an operating range. The “WARNING and
DIAGNOSTIC” lamp (if equipped) will flash while the
engine is cranking. The lamp should turn off after
proper engine oil pressure or fuel pressure is
achieved. Do not apply a load to the engine or
increase engine rpm until the oil pressure gauge
indicates at least normal pressure. Inspect the engine
for leaks and/or unusual noises.
Starting the Engine
Refer to the Owners Manual of the OEM for your type
of controls. Use the following procedure to start the
engine.
1. Place the transmission in NEUTRAL. Disengage
the flywheel clutch in order to allow the engine to
start faster, and to reduce the draining of the
battery.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

Engine Starting
Starting with Jump Start Cables
If the engine is operated with a low load, the engine
will reach normal operating temperature sooner than
idling the engine with no load. When the engine is
idled in cold weather, increase the engine rpm to
approximately 1000 to 1200 rpm in order to raise
engine temperature. Do not exceed the
recommended rpm in order to increase the speed of
the warm-up. Limit unnecessary idle time to 10
minutes.
2. If a wire is loose, push the wire back into the
connector. Pull the wire again in order to e, nsure
that the wire is secure.
3. Start the engine. If the engine does not start, check
for a diagnostic code and consult your Perkins
distributor.

Starting Problems
Starting with Jump Start
Cables
An occasional starting problem may be caused by
one of the following items:
(Do Not Use This Procedure in
Hazardous Locations that have
Explosive Atmospheres)
• Low battery charge
• Lack of fuel
• Problem with the wiring harness
If the engine fuel system has been run dry, fill the fuel
tank and prime the fuel system. Refer to the
Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Fuel System -
Prime” topic (Maintenance Section).
The connection of battery cables to a battery and
the disconnection of battery cables from a battery
may cause an explosion which may result in in-
jury or death. The connection and the disconnec-
tion of other electrical equipment may also cause
an explosion which may result in injury or death.
The procedures for the connection and the dis-
connection of battery cables and other electrical
equipment should only be performed in a nonex-
plosive atmosphere.
If the other problems are suspected, perform the
appropriate procedure in order to start the engine.
Problems with the Wiring Harness
Improper jump start cable connections can cause
an explosion resulting in personal injury.
Prevent sparks near the batteries. Sparks could
cause vapors to explode. Do not allow jump start
cable ends to contact each other or the engine.
Note: If possible, first diagnose the reason for the
starting failure. Refer to Troubleshooting, “Engine Will
Not Crank and Engine Cranks But Will Not Start” for
further information. Make any necessary repairs. If
the engine will not start only due to the condition of
the battery, either charge the battery, or start the
engine by using another battery with jump-start
cables.

ECM Connector J2/P2
The condition of the battery can be rechecked after
the engine has been switched OFF.
Locate the ECM. Check the connector in order to
ensure that the connector is secure. Lightly pull each
of the wires in the chassis harness.
1. Pull each wire with approximately 4.5 kg (10 lb) of
force. The wire should remain in the connector.

i05359363
NOTICE
Using a battery source with the same voltage as the
electric starting motor. Use ONLY equal voltage for
jump starting. The use of higher voltage will damage
the electrical system.
After Starting Engine
Note: In temperatures from 0 to 60°C (32 to 140°F),
the warm-up time is approximately 3 minutes. In
temperatures below 0°C (32°F), additional warm-up
time may be required.
Do not reverse the battery cables. The alternator can
be damaged. Attach ground cable last and remove
first.
Turn all electrical accessories OFF before attaching
the jump start cables.
When the engine is idling during warm-up, observe
the following conditions:
Ensure that the main power switch is in the OFF posi-
tion before attaching the jump start cables to the en-
gine being started.
• Check for fluid or air leaks at idle rpm and at one-
half full rpm (no load on the engine) before
operating the engine under load. Operating the
engine at idle and at one-half full rpm with no load
is not possible in some applications.
1. Turn the start switch on the stalled engine to the
OFF position. Turn off all the engines accessories.
• Operate the engine at low idle until all systems
achieve operating temperatures. Check all gauges
during the warm-up period.
2. Connect one positive end of the jump-start cable to
the positive cable terminal of the discharged
battery. Connect the other positive end of the jump-
start cable to the positive cable terminal of the
electrical source.
Note: Gauge readings should be observed and the
data should be recorded frequently while the engine
is operating. Comparing the data over time will help to
determine normal readings for each gauge.
Comparing data over time will also help detect
abnormal operating developments. Significant
changes in the readings should be investigated.
3. Connect one negative end of the jump-start cable
to the negative cable terminal of the electrical
source. Connect the other negative end of the
jump-start cable to the engine block or to the
chassis ground. This procedure helps to prevent
potential sparks from igniting the combustible
gases that are produced by some batteries.
Extended Idle at Cold Ambient
Temperature
The engine may automatically change speeds when
the engine is idling in cold ambient temperatures
(typically less than 0° C (32° F) for extended periods.
The purpose of the automatic speed change is
threefold: to maintain the desired operation of the
NOx reduction system, to maintain the desired
operation of the regeneration system and to keep the
engine coolant warm. The engine speed may rise to
1600 rpm for as long as 20 minutes.
Note: The engine ECM must be powered before the
starting motor is operated or damage can occur.
4. Start the engine in the normal operating procedure.
Refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual,
“Starting the Engine”.
5. Immediately after the engine is started, disconnect
the jump-start cables in reverse order.
The high exhaust system temperature lamp may
illuminate during extended idling conditions. This
illumination signals that a diesel particulate filter
(DPF) regeneration is in progress. Regenerations
during cold ambient extended idling may only last up
to 10 minutes.
After jump starting, the alternator may not be able to
recharge fully batteries that are severely discharged.
The batteries must be replaced or charged to the
proper voltage with a battery charger after the engine
is stopped. Many batteries which are considered
unusable are still rechargeable. Refer to Operation
and Maintenance Manual, “Battery - Replace” and
Testing and Adjusting Manual, “Battery - Test”.
