The recommended oil types for the Perkins 1106AA-70TG1 engine are API CH-4, CI-4, or CJ-4 oils. Always refer to the engine manual for specific viscosity recommendations based on operating temperatures.
It is recommended to change the engine oil every 250 hours of operation or at least once a year, whichever comes first. Check the manual for specific intervals based on operating conditions.
To bleed air from the fuel system, locate the fuel bleed screw on the fuel filter housing, use the priming pump to push fuel through the system, and open the bleed screw until fuel free of air bubbles flows out. Tighten the bleed screw once the air is evacuated.
Check the fuel supply, ensure the battery is charged, inspect the starter motor and connections, and verify the air intake system is clear. If the issue persists, consult the engine manual or a qualified technician.
Perform a visual inspection for leaks, check fluid levels, inspect belts and hoses for wear, clean or replace air filters, and verify that all electrical connections are secure. Refer to the maintenance schedule in the manual for detailed procedures.

Immediately shut down the engine and let it cool. Check the coolant level, inspect the radiator for blockages, and verify that the fan and belts are functioning properly. Consult a technician if the problem persists.
Regular maintenance such as timely oil changes, keeping air filters clean, and ensuring the fuel system is free from leaks can improve fuel efficiency. Operating the engine within its optimal load range also helps.
