1000 series » How to care for your engine

To obtain the best performance and the longest life from your engine, you must ensure that the maintenance operations are done at the intervals indicated in "Preventive maintenance". If the engine works in a very dusty environment or other adverse conditions, certain maintenance intervals will have to be reduced. Renew the filter elements and lubricating oil regularly in order to ensure that the inside of your engine remains clean.

Ensure that all adjustments and repairs are done by personnel who have had the correct training. Perkins distributors have this type of personnel available. The left and right sides of the engine are as seen from the rear.

Read the "Safety precautions" and remember them. They are given for your protection and must be applied at ail times.
