Removal Procedure
Warning! Contact with high pressure fuel may cause fluid penetration and burn hazards. High pressure fuel spray may cause a fire hazard. Failure to follow these inspection, maintenance and service instructions may cause personal injury or death.

Cautions:
Ensure that all adjustments and repairs that are carried out to the fuel system are performed by authorized personnel that have the correct training. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, ‘Cleanliness of Fuel System Components’ for detailed information on the standards of cleanliness that must be observed during ALL work on the fuel system.
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance,testing, adjusting and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids. Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.

Note: Put identification marks on all hoses and all plastic tube assemblies for installation purposes. Plug all plastic tube assemblies. This helps to prevent fluid loss and this helps to keep contaminants from entering the system. Ensure that cap kit (Perkins kit number U5MK1124) is used.
1 Turn the fuel supply to the off position.
2 Turn the battery disconnect switch to the off position.
Note: Perkins recommends the use of a clean sheet placed under the fuel injection pump. The clean sheet will assist in the prevention of the components falling onto the ground below the application.

3 Remove one outlet check plug (A2) from fuel injection pump (A1). Remove the plug, the spring (B5) and the outlet check valve (B4).
4 Clean the components with alcohol or contact cleaner. Inspect the components for wear or damage. If there is damage to the radius surface of the outlet check valve, replace with a new outlet check valve.
5 Flush out the head of the fuel injection pump (A1) with clean alcohol or contact cleaner. Inspect the head of the fuel injection pump for damage or debris on the seat area (B3).
6 Use a cotton swab with alcohol or contact cleaner applied, swab threads in counterclockwise direction. This will remove debris from the threads.
Note: Caution is required to prevent pushing debris into the internal passages. Do not use a clockwise direction to clean debris from threads as debris could be pushed into the fuel injection pump.
