Description
Perkins 400C Engine Operation and Maintenance Manual is the factory publication for the 400C industrial engine range. It provides operators, maintenance technicians and engine workshops with the safety, operating and scheduled maintenance information required for correct engine care.
This 82-page manual covers product identification, handling and storage, gauges and indicators, controls, starting, operation and stopping. It also addresses cold-weather operation, refill capacities and maintenance intervals. The publication is intended for operation and preventive maintenance; it does not contain major engine overhaul procedures.
Safety instructions and hazard warnings are included throughout. These cover work around pressurised fluids, hot coolant and oil, batteries, electrical equipment, fuel, rotating components and engine starting systems.
