aftercoolers are cooled by a separate radiator or heat exchanger.
Both cooling systems utilize one water pump. The water pump is
supplied engine mounted from the rear of the gear cover. Cummins
provides conventional water inlet and outlet connections for both
systems.

Lubrication

Large capacity integral gear driven pump provides pressure

lubrication to all bearings and provides supply for piston cooling.
Cummins supplied large capacity oil pans are recommended for
Prime and Continuous Power applications. Cummins has always been a pioneer in product improvement.
Thus, specifications may change without notice.
Pistons Illustrations may include optional equipment.
