Clarke Powered Solutions wants you to get the most out of your Perkins engines. Through this page, you can access a centralized hub of Operation and Maintenance Manuals (OMMs) that provides all the information you need to keep your engine running properly day in, day out.
OMMs are critical for maintaining high-quality diesel and gas engines of any size and for any industry. These documents contain detailed information covering a variety of topics, including:
- Operation
- Product information

This extensive database of downloadable OMMs covers all current Perkins engines we distribute. We’ve provided FREE access to these resources for the public, with PDFs available in a variety of languages.

Why is regular engine maintenance important?
Following an OMM’s maintenance schedule will keep your Perkins engine running smoothly, which will save you money and aggravation in the long run.
Do I really need an OMM?
