Department.
80% of the prime power rating can be applied 10 seconds after the
starter motor is energised. The remaining 20% can be applied 30
seconds after start if the ambient temperature is not less than 15 C
(59 F). If it is less than 15 C (59 F), an immersion heater is
recommended. For additional information, contact Perkins
Technical Service Department.

Caution: The airflows shown in this table will provide acceptable cooling for an open power unit operating in ambient temperatures of up
to 54 C (129.2 F) or 46 C (114.8 F) if a canopy is fitted with an airflow restiriction of up to 27 kPa (28 mm H2O). If the power unit is to
be enclosed totally, a cooling test should be done to check that the engine cooling is acceptable. If there is insufficient cooling, contact
Perkins Technical Service Department.
