General information

Introduction

1

The 2806-18 diesel engine is the latest development from Perkins Engines Company Limited, a world leader

in the design and manufacture of high performance diesel engines. More than fifty years of diesel production

experience, together with the use of the lates t technology, have been used in the manufacture of your engine

to give you reliable and economic power.

To ensure that y ou use the relevant information for your specific  engine type, refer to "Engine identification"

on page 5.

The terms "left side" and "right side" apply when the engine is seen from the rear end, the flywheel end.

Number one cylinder is at the front end of the engine

Danger is indicated in the text by two methods:

Warning! This indicates that there is a possible danger to the person.

Caution: This indicates that there is a possible danger to the engine.

Note: Is used where the information is important, but there is not a danger.

Safety precautions

2800 Series

These safety precautions are important. You must refer also to the loc al regulations in the country of use.

Some items  only apply to specific  applications.

Always refer to the text of this  handbook for specific warnings  and cautions.

Only use these engines in the type of application for which they have been designed.

Do not change the specification of the engine.

Do not make adjustments that you do not understand.

Do not allow the engine to stand on its sump.

Do not smoke when y ou put fuel in the tank.

Clean away fuel which has been spilt. Material which has been contaminated by fuel must be moved to a

safe place.

Do not put fuel in the tank while the engine runs  (unles s it is absolutely necessary).

Do not clean, add lubricating oil, or adjust the engine while it runs (unless you have had the correct training;

even then extreme caution must be used to prev ent injury).

Ensure that the engine does not run in a location where it can cause a concentration of toxic emissions.

Other persons must be kept at a safe distance while the engine or auxiliary equipment is in operation.

Do not permit loose clothing or long hair near moving parts.

Warning! Keep away from moving parts during engine operation. Some moving parts cannot be seen clearly

while the engine runs.

Do not operate the engine if a safety guard has been removed.

Do not remove the filler cap or any component of the coolant system while the engine is hot and while the

coolant is under pressure, becaus e dangerous hot coolant can be discharged.

Do not allow sparks or fire near the batteries (especially  when the batteries are on charge) because the

gases from the electrolyte are highly flammable. The battery fluid is dangerous to the skin and especially

to the eyes.

Disconnect the battery terminals before a repair is made to the electrical system. Always disconnect the

negative terminal first.

Only one person must control the engine.

Ensure that the engine is operated only from the control panel or from the operator's position.

If your skin comes into contact with high-pressure fuel, obtain medical assistance immediately.

Diesel fuel and lubricating oil (especially used lubricating oil) can damage the skin of certain persons.

Protect your hands with gloves or a special solution to protect the skin.

Do not wear clothing which is contaminated by lubricating oil. Do not put material which is contaminated

with oil into the pockets.

Discard used lubricating oil and coolant in accordance with local regulations to prevent contamination.

The combustible material of some components of the engine (for example certain seals) can become

extremely dangerous if it is burned. Never allow this burnt material to come into contact with the skin or with

the eyes.

Always use a safety cage to protect the operator when a c omponent is  to be pressure tested in a container

of water. Fit safety wires to secure the plugs which seal the hose connections of a component which is to

be pressure tested.

Do not allow compres sed air to contact your skin. If compressed air enters your skin, obtain medical help

immediately.

Turboc hargers operate at high speed and at high temperatures. Keep fingers, tools and debris away from

the inlet and outlet ports of the turbocharger and prevent contact with hot surfaces.

Some components are not waterproof and should not be washed with a high-pressure water jet or steam.

Do not wash an engine while it runs or while it is hot. If cold cleaning fluids are applied to a hot engine,

certain components on the engine could be damaged.

Fit only genuine Perkins parts.

How to care for your engine

1

Warning! Read the "Safety precautions" and remember them. They are given for your protection and must be

applied at all times.

Caution: Do not clean an engine while it runs. If cold cleaning fluids are applied to a hot engine, certain

components on the engine may be damaged.

To obtain the best performance and the longest life from your engine, you must ensure that the maintenance

operations are done at the correct intervals, refer to "Preventive maintenance periods" on page 15.

Ens ure that all adjustments and repairs are done by personnel who have had the correct training.

Engine lift equipment

Warning! The lifting eyes which are fitted to the engine must be used for lifting only the engine. Do not use

them to lift the engine if it is still attached to its driven unit.

Welding

Welding can cause damage to the electronic components fitted to the engine. If welding is necessary, the

precautions which follow must be undertaken before and during the welding operation.

Cautions:

Switch off the engine.

Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. If the machine is fitted with a battery

disconnect the switch then open the switch.

If welding to the engine, remove the ECM (electronic control module).

If welding onto the machine chassis, ensure that the earth clamp is attached as close to the welding point

as possible and NOT near to the ECM.

If it is necessary to weld near to the ECM, remove the ECM from the engine.

Engine preservation

1E2566C - Lowest protection level: This process is for protection of engines for up to 30 days. The engine must

be stored inside and shipped in a closed container.

1E2566B - Intermediate protection level: This process will protect engines from functional deterioration for a

minimum of 6 months in outside storage conditions.

1E2566A - Highest protection level: This process will protect engines from functional deterioration for a

minimum of 12 months in outside storage conditions. This process is used to extend the protec tion given by

the intermediate level protection process.

Part s and service

If problems occur with your engine or with the components fitted to it, your authorised distributor can make the

necessary repairs and will ensure that only the correct parts are fitted and that the work is done correctly.

Service literature

Work shop manuals and other s ervice publications are available from your authorised distributor.

Training

Courses on the serv ice and overhaul of the 2806 engine are available at the Factory. For details apply to: The

Product Training Centre, Perkins Engines Company Limited, Peterborough, PE1 5NA, England.

Operation instructions

How to start the engine

Before the engine is started

3

Perform the required daily maintenance and other periodic maintenance before the engine is started. Refer to

"Preventive maintenance periods" on page 15.

Check the fuel supply. Drain water from the water separator. Open the fuel supply valve.

Caution: All valves in the fuel return line must be open before and during engine operation to help prevent

high fuel pressure. High fuel pressure can cause failure of the filter housing or other damage.

Note: 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. If necessary refer to "How to eliminate air from the fuel system" on page 49.

Do not start the engine or move any of the controls if there is a “DO NOT OPERATE” label or similar

warning label attached to the start switch or to the controls.

Ensure that the areas around rotating parts are clear.

Reset all of the shutdown devices or alarm components.

Check the level of the engine lubricating oil. Maintain the oil level between the “L” and the “H” mark s on the

dipstick.

Check the level of the coolant. Maintain the level of coolant within 13 mm (0.5 inch) of the bottom of the

filler pipe. If the engine is fitted with a sight glass, maintain the coolant level in the sight glass.

Check the service indicator for the air cleaner. When the red warning indicator is seen through the clear

panel after the engine has stopped, the air filter element must be renewed.

Ensure that any driven equipment has been disengaged. Remove any electrical loads.

How to start a new, an overhauled engine or an engine which has been in storage

Prime the turbocharger. This can be achieved by operating the engine briefly with the injection disable switch

on.

When a new engine, or an engine which has been serviced, is first started, prepare to stop the engine if an

overspeed condition occurs. Use the quickest method available, for example: Emergency Stop button.

Start procedure

This start procedure may be used for all engines which are not fitted with an air inlet heater.

Refer to the Owner's Manual of the OEM for your type of controls. Use this procedure to start the engine:

1  Move the ignition switch to the ON position. If a system fault is indicated by, for example a panel light,

inves tigate the c ause. If necessary use the Perkins Electronic Service Tool, EST.

2  Push the start button or turn the ignition switch to the START position to operate the engine.

3  If the engine fails to start within 30 seconds, releas e the start button or ignition switch. Wait for 30 seconds

to allow the starter motor to cool before attempting to start the engine again.

Note: A system fault may be indicated after the engine is started. If this occurs the ECM has detected a

problem with the system. Investigate the cause, if necessary use the Perkins service tool EST.

Caution: Oil pressure should rise within 15 seconds after the engine starts. The electronic engine controls

monitor the oil pressure and will stop the engine if the oil pressure is below normal.

4  If possible, allow the engine to run at no load for approximately three minutes. Run the engine at no load

until the water temperature gauge has started to rise. Check all gauges during the warm-up period.

How to start a cold engine in cold conditions

Refer to the Owner's Manual of the OEM for your type of controls. Use the procedure which follows to start the

engine.

Warning! Ether type fuels must not be used in the 2806-18 six cylinder engine.

The engine will start without aids down to a temperature of -10 °C (14 °F), but the ability to start at temperatures

below 10 °C (50 °F) will improve by the use of a cylinder block coolant heater or a device which heats the

crankcase oil. This will help to reduce white smoke and misfires when the engine is started in cold weather.

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 "How

to eliminate air from the fuel system" on page 49.

1  Move the ignition switch to the ON position. If a system fault is indicated by, for example a panel light,

investigate the cause. If necessary use the Perkins Electronic Service Tool, EST.

2  Push the start button or turn the ignition s witch to the START position to crank the engine.

3  If the engine fails to start within 30 seconds, release the start button or ignition switch. Wait for 30 seconds

to allow the starter motor to cool before attempting to start the engine again. Repeat for a maximum of three

times; if the engine fails to start investigate the cause,

4  A system fault may be indicated after the engine is started. If this occurs the ECM has detected a problem

with the system. Investigate the cause, if necessary use the Perkins service tool EST. Refer to the Diagnostic

Manual for more information on engine diagnostics.

Note: Oil pressure should rise within 15 s econds after the engine starts. The electronic engine controls monitor

the oil pressure and will stop the engine if the oil pressure is below normal.

5  If possible, allow the engine to run at no load for approximately three minutes. Run the engine at no load

until the coolant temperature gauge starts to rise. Check all gauges during the warm-up period.

Caution: The oil press ures and fuel pressures should be in the normal range on the instrument panel. Do not

apply a load to the engine until the oil pressure gauge indicates at leas t normal pressure. Inspect the engine

for leaks and/or unusual noises.

Important notes

The cold start strategy will be activated when the coolant temperature is below 17 °C (63 °F). The cold start

strategy will continue until the coolant temperature reaches 28 ° C (82 °F), or until the engine has been running

for 14 minutes. A timer will disable the cold start strategy after a maximum time of 14 minutes.

If the cold start strategy is active and if the ECM measures engine speed, the engine power that is available is

reduced.

After the ECM has completed the cold mode (or the cold mode is disabled), it cannot be enabled again until

the ECM is switched OFF.

If an engine has been stopped, for example after a fault has been indicated, do not attempt to restart the engine

until it has fully stopped.

After the engine has started

1  Check all of the gauges during the warm-up period.

2  Perform another walk-around inspection. Check the engine for fluid leaks and air leak s.

Note: Gauge readings should be observed and the data should be recorded frequently while the engine runs.

A comparison of the data over time will help to determine normal readings for each gauge, it will also help to

detect abnormal conditions of operation. Signific ant changes in the readings should be investigated.
