Perkins marine engines are manufactured to meet all general marine requirements and to be compatible with specificapplications. The engines depicted on pages 12 through 27 do not necessarily typify all the various marine engines in useworldwide.Safety Precautions:Disregarding fundamental safety rules and precautions may result in injuries to persons coming into contact with orlocated near an engine. Care should be exercised at all times, particularly in the following respects:1. The coolant in an operating or recently stopped engine is very hot and under pressure. If the filler pressure cap issuddenly removed the liquid may spurt and cause injury by scalding. Always stop an engine and allow it to coolbefore removing the cap. Once cool, loosen the cap slowly to relieve the pressure.2. External assemblies and accessories driven by an engine, such as the pulleys, belts, and alternator/generator, arehazardous to anyone attempting to repair or service it while it is operating. If possible, always stop an engine beforeservicing it. When necessary to repair or adjust an operating engine, use extreme caution and do not wear looseclothing.3. The direction of engine rotation and the rotation of any attached or auxiliary drive device are not always the same.The rotation direction of the output shaft should be determined before attaching any auxiliary mechanism that is to bedriven by the engine. Failure to consider the respective rotations could result in an unexpected rotation of themechanism and cause injury.4. Use extraordinary care when hoisting an engine. Ensure that the hoist is correctly arranged and correctly attached tothe engine. Failure to do so may result in fracture of the lifting brackets or other mishap.5. Stop the engine before refueling it.Look for this symbol - it means:ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT!YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!HEED THE INSTRUCTIONS!Because of the variety of engine applications and their respective uses, it is not possible to anticipate and provide safetyprecautions for all the potentially hazardous situations that may be encountered during the servicing and operation of amarine engine.
