Product Description
(Engine and Aftertreatment)
There are two variants of the Perkins 1206J industrial
engine, the 1206J-E70TA is a single turbocharged
engine and the engine prefix is VL.
The 1206J-E70TTA is a series turbocharged engine
and the prefix for this engine is VM.
The Perkins 1206J-E70TA and the 1206J-E70TTA
Industrial Engines have the following characteristics.

NOTICE
Always inspect lifting eyebolts and all other lifting
equipment for damage before performing any lifting.
Never bend the eyebolts and the brackets. Never
perform product lifting if components are damaged.
Only load the eyebolts and the brackets under ten-
sion. Remember that the capacity of an eyebolt is re-
duced as the angle between the supporting members
and the object becomes less than 90 degrees.
When it is necessary to remove a component at an
angle, only use a link bracket that is properly rated for
the weight.
Read all the information within Product Lifting before
any lifting is attempted. Ensure that the correct set of

from the engine and aftertreatment sensors.
Condition for Storage
The engine must be stored in a water proof building.
The building must be kept at a constant temperature.
Engines that are filled with Perkins ELC will have
coolant protection to an ambient temperature of
-36° C (-32.8° F). The engine must not be subjected
to extreme variations in temperature or humidity.
Storage Period
An engine can be stored for up to 6 months provided
all the recommendations are adhered to.
Storage Procedure
Keep a record of the procedure that has been
completed on the engine.
Note: Do not store an engine that has biodiesel in the
fuel system.
1. Ensure that the engine is clean and dry.

Monitoring System
The lamps will illuminate for 2 seconds to check that
the lamps are functioning when the keyswitch is
turned to the ON position. If any of the lamps stay
illuminated, or a lamp fails to be illuminated the
reason should be investigated immediately.
Aftertreatment Lamps and gauges
All applications will require the following lamps and
gauges:
• Emission malfunction lamp
• Action indicator lamp
• Gauge for Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)
• Low warning lamp for DEF
• Wait to disconnect lamp (optional)
The wait to disconnect lamp will be illuminated during
engine operation and will be extinguished
approximately 2 minutes after the engine has
stopped. Do not disconnect the battery disconnect
switch during the period the lamp is illuminated. The
diesel exhaust fluid system will be purged during this
time. Also, during the 2 minutes the engine electronic
control module is active storing information from the
engine and aftertreatment sensors.
Note: The wait to disconnect lamp will not be
checked at key on.

Engine Indicator Lamps
Note: When in operation the amber warning lamp
has three states, solid, flashing, and fast flashing.
The sequence is to give a visual indication of the
importance of the warning. Some application can
have an audible warning installed.
Ensure that the engine maintenance is carried out at
the correct intervals. A lack of maintenance can
result in illumination of the warning lamp. For the
correct intervals of maintenance, refer to the
Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Maintenance
Interval Schedule”.

The default setting for an overspeed is 3000 rpm.
The ECM will cut the power to the electronic unit
injectors, until the rpm drops below 200 rpm of the
overspeed setting. A diagnostic fault code will be
logged into the ECM memory and a warning lamp will
indicate a diagnostic fault code.
An overspeed can be set from 2600 rpm to 3000 rpm.
This setting depends on the application.
