Caution: The airflows shown in this table will provide acceptable cooling for an open power unit operating in ambient temperatures of up
to 54oC (129.2 oF) or 46oC (114.8 oF) if a canopy is fitted with an airflow restriction of up to 0,27 kPa (28mm H2O). If the power unit is to
be enclosed totally, a cooling test should be done to check that the engine cooling is accecptable. If there is insufficient cooling, contact
Perkins Technical Service Department.
