Important Safety Notice

WARNING
Improper practices, carelessness, or ignoring the warnings can cause burns, cuts, mutilation, asphyxiation or
other personal injury or death.
Read and understand all of the safety precautions and warnings before performing any repair. This list contains the
general safety precautions that must be followed to provide personal safety. Special safety precautions are included
in the procedures when they apply.
• Work in an area surrounding the product that is dry, well lit, ventilated, free from clutter, loose tools, parts, ignition
sources and hazardous substances. Be aware of hazardous conditions that can exist.
• Always wear protective glasses and protective shoes when working.
• Rotating parts can cause cuts, mutilation or strangulation.
• Do not wear loose-fitting or torn clothing. Remove all jewelry when working.
• Disconnect the battery (negative [-] cable first) and discharge any capacitors before beginning any repair work.
Disconnect the air starting motor if equipped to prevent accidental engine starting. Put a "Do Not Operate" tag in
the operator's compartment or on the controls.
• Use ONLY the proper engine barring techniques for manually rotating the engine. Do not attempt to rotate the
crankshaft by pulling or prying on the fan. This practice can cause serious personal injury, property damage, or
damage to the fan blade(s) causing premature fan failure.
• If an engine has been operating and the coolant is hot, allow the engine to cool before slowly loosening the filler
cap to relieve the pressure from the cooling system.
General Safety Instructions QSK19
Page i-4 Section i - Introduction

• Always use blocks or proper stands to support the product before performing any service work. Do not work on
anything that is supported ONLY by lifting jacks or a hoist.
• Relieve all pressure in the air, oil, fuel, and cooling systems before any lines, fittings, or related items are removed
or disconnected. Be alert for possible pressure when disconnecting any device from a system that utilizes
pressure. Do not check for pressure leaks with your hand. High pressure oil or fuel can cause personal injury.
• To reduce the possibility of suffocation and frostbite, wear protective clothing and ONLY disconnect liquid
refrigerant (Freon) lines in a well ventilated area. To protect the environment, liquid refrigerant systems must be
properly emptied and filled using equipment that prevents the release of refrigerant gas (fluorocarbons) into the
atmosphere. Federal law requires capturing and recycling refrigerant.
• To reduce the possibility of personal injury, use a hoist or get assistance when lifting components that weigh 23 kg
[50 lb] or more. Make sure all lifting devices such as chains, hooks, or slings are in good condition and are of the
correct capacity. Make sure hooks are positioned correctly. Always use a spreader bar when necessary. The lifting
hooks must not be side-loaded.
• Corrosion inhibitor, a component of SCA and lubricating oil, contains alkali. Do not get the substance in eyes.
Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Do not swallow internally. In case of contact, immediately wash
skin with soap and water. In case of contact, immediately flood eyes with large amounts of water for a minimum of
15 minutes. IMMEDIATELY CALL A PHYSICIAN. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
• Naptha and Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) are flammable materials and must be used with caution. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions to provide complete safety when using these materials. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF
CHILDREN.
• To reduce the possibility of burns, be alert for hot parts on products that have just been turned off, exhaust gas
flow, and hot fluids in lines, tubes, and compartments.
• Always use tools that are in good condition. Make sure you understand how to use the tools before performing any
service work. Use ONLY genuine Cummins® or Cummins ReCon® replacement parts.
QSK19 General Safety Instructions

• Always use the same fastener part number (or equivalent) when replacing fasteners. Do not use a fastener of
lesser quality if replacements are necessary.
• When necessary, the removal and replacement of any guards covering rotating components, drives, and/or belts
should only be carried out be a trained technician. Before removing any guards the engine must be turned off and
any starting mechanisms must be isolated. All fasteners must be replaced on re-fitting the guards.
• Do not perform any repair when fatigued or after consuming alcohol or drugs that can impair your functioning.
• Some state and federal agencies in the United States of America have determined that used engine oil can be
carcinogenic and can cause reproductive toxicity. Avoid inhalation of vapors, ingestion, and prolonged contact with
used engine oil.
• Do not connect the jumper starting or battery charging cables to any ignition or governor control wiring. This can
cause electrical damage to the ignition or governor.
• Always torque fasteners and fuel connections to the required specifications. Overtightening or undertightening can
allow leakage. This is critical to the natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas fuel and air systems.
• Always test for fuel leaks as instructed, as odorant can fade.
• Close the manual fuel valves prior to performing maintenance and repairs, and when storing the vehicle inside.
• Coolant is toxic. If not reused, dispose of in accordance with local environmental regulations.
• The catalyst reagent contains urea. Do not get the substance in your eyes. In case of contact, immediately flood

Operating Instructions - Overview

General Information
Correct care of your engine will result in longer life, better
performance, and more economical operation.
Follow the daily maintenance checks listed in
Maintenance Guidelines (Section 2).
The new Cummins® engine associated with this manual
does not require a "break-in" procedure. This section of
the manual provides all of the necessary information
required for proper engine operation.

U.S. legislation requires that stationary compression

ignition internal combustion engines designated for
emergency use are limited to emergency operations and
required maintenance and testing.
Operating Instructions - Overview QSK19
Page 1-2 Section 1 - Operating Instructions

Check the oil pressure indicators, temperature indicators,

warning lights, and other gauges daily to make sure they
are operational.
Check the oil pressure, coolant temperatures DEF level,
and other engine parameters daily via the OEM front
panel to make sure they are operational. Check the panel
regularly for any alarm messages. Take appropriate

nearest Authorized Cummins® Distributor.
QSK19 Operating Instructions - Overview
Section 1 - Operating Instructions Page 1-3

WARNING
Do not operate a diesel engine where there are or can
BE COMBUSTIBLE vapors. These vapors can be
sucked through the air intake system and cause
engine acceleration and over speeding that can result
in a fire, an explosion, and extensive property
damage. Numerous safety devices are available, such
as air intake shutoff devices, to minimize the risk of
over speeding where an engine, due to its application,
is operating in a combustible environment, such as
due to a fuel spill or gas leak. Remember, Cummins
Inc. has no way of knowing the use you have for your
engine. The equipment owner and operator ARE
responsible for safe operation in a hostile
environment. Consult A Cummins® Authorized Repair
Location for further information.

CAUTION
Do not expose the engine to corrosive chemicals.
Corrosive chemicals can damage the engine.
Cummins recommends the installation of an air intake
shutoff device or a similar safety device to minimize the
risk of overspeeding when an engine is operating in a
combustible environment, such as due to a fuel spill or
gas leak.
Normal Starting Procedure QSK19
Page 1-4 Section 1 - Operating Instructions

Normal Starting Procedure

General Information

WARNING
Do not depress the accelerator pedal or move the
accelerator lever from the idle position while cranking the
engine. This can result in engine overspeed and severe
damage to the engine.

CAUTION
To prevent damage to the starting motor, do not engage
the starting motor for more than 30 seconds. Wait 2
minutes between each attempt to start (electrical starting
motors only).
NOTE: Engines equipped with air starting motors require a
minimum of 480 kPa [70 psi].
• Disengage the driven unit, or if equipped, put the
transmission in neutral.
• With the accelerator pedal or lever in the idle position, turn
the key switch to the ON position, and wait for the WAIT-
TO-START lamp to go out; then, turn the key to the
START position.
• If the engine does not start after three attempts, check the
fuel supply system. Absence of blue or white exhaust
smoke during cranking indicates no fuel is being
delivered.
QSK19 Normal Starting Procedure
Section 1 - Operating Instructions Page 1-5

CAUTION
The engine must have adequate oil pressure within 15
seconds after starting. If the WARNING lamp
indicating low oil pressure has not gone out or there
is no oil pressure indicated on a gauge within 15
seconds, shut off the engine immediately to avoid
engine damage. The low oil pressure troubleshooting
procedure is located in Troubleshooting
Symptoms(Section TS).

Idle the engine 3 to 5 minutes before operating with a

load.
Normal Starting Procedure QSK19
Page 1-6 Section 1 - Operating Instructions

After starting a cold engine, increase the engine speed

(rpm) slowly to provide adequate lubrication to the
bearings and to allow the oil pressure to stabilize.

CAUTION
Do not operate engine at low idle for long periods
with engine coolant temperature below the minimum
specification in Maintenance Specifications (Section
V). This can result in the following:
• Fuel Dilution of the lubricating oil
• Carbon build up in the cylinder
• Cylinder head valve sticking
• Reduced performance.
QSK19 Normal Starting Procedure
Section 1 - Operating Instructions Page 1-7

Jump Starting

WARNING
Batteries can emit explosive gases. To avoid personal
injury, always ventilate the compartment before
servicing the batteries. To avoid arcing, remove the

QSK19 Cold Weather Starting
Section 1 - Operating Instructions Page 1-9

Cold Weather Starting

With Mechanical or Electrical Metering
Equipment (Ether)

WARNING
Do not use starting fluids on engines in marine
applications. Starting fluid is highly flammable and
explosive. Keep flames, sparks, and arcing switches
away from starting fluid.

WARNING
Do not use volatile cold starting aids in marine
applications due to the potential of an explosion.

WARNING
Because of the potential for an explosion, do not use
volatile cold starting aids in underground mine or
tunnel operations. Ask the local U.S. Bureau of Mines
inspector for instructions.
Cold Weather Starting QSK19

the transmission in neutral.
NOTE: On engines equipped with a Prelub system, hold
the key in the START position to allow lubrication oil
pressure to build up.
Turn the keyswitch to the ON position to power up the
ECM.
QSK19 Cold Weather Starting
Section 1 - Operating Instructions Page 1-11

CAUTION
Do not use excessive amounts of starting fluid when
starting an engine. Using to much starting fluid can
cause engine damage. On engines equipped with a
Prelub system, do not use ether until the engine
begins to crank.
While cranking the engine, inject a metered amount of
starting fluid.

CAUTION
The engine must have adequate oil pressure within 15
seconds after starting. If the warning lamp indicating
low oil pressure has not gone out or there is no oil
pressure indicated on the oil pressure gauge within
15 seconds, shutoff the engine immediately to reduce
the possibility of engine damage.
Confirm the correct oil level in the lubricating oil pan.
Refer to Procedure 007-043 (Engine Lubricating Oil Level)
in Section 3.

not engage until adequate oil pressure is obtained.
Cold Weather Starting QSK19
Page 1-12 Section 1 - Operating Instructions

Do not increase the engine speed above low idle until the
coolant temperature gauge starts to move and minutes
have elapsed. This will provide adequate lubrication to the
bearings.
Monitor the oil pressure gauge after normal operation is
initiated.
QSK19 Operating the Engine
Section 1 - Operating Instructions Page 1-13

Operating the Engine

Normal
If equipped, monitor the oil pressure and coolant
temperature gauges frequently. Refer to Lubricating Oil
System specifications and Cooling System specifications,
in Maintenance Specifications (Section V) for
recommended operating pressures and temperatures.
Shut off the engine if any pressure or temperature does
not meet the specifications.
Continuous operation with engine coolant temperature
above or below the engine coolant temperature
specifications listed in Maintenance Specifications
(Section V) can damage the engine.
Operating the Engine QSK19
Page 1-14 Section 1 - Operating Instructions

If an overheating condition starts to occur, reduce the

power output of the engine by releasing the accelerator
pedal or lever or shifting the transmission to a lower gear,
or both, until the temperature returns to the normal
operating range. If the engine temperature does not
return to normal, shut off the engine, and refer to
Troubleshooting Symptoms (Section TS), or contact a
Cummins® Authorized Repair Location.

Winterfronts and Shutters

Winterfronts and shutters can be used on a vehicle or
equipment to reduce air flow through the radiator core into
the engine compartment. This can reduce the time
required to warm the engine and help maintain the engine
coolant temperature. The engine coolant temperature
specifications are in the Maintenance Specification
(Section V).
QSK19 Engine Operating Range
Section 1 - Operating Instructions Page 1-15

Engine Operating Range

General Information

CAUTION
Do not operate the engine at full throttle below peak
torque rpm (refer to engine dataplate for peak torque
rpm) for more than 30 seconds. Operating the engine
at full throttle below peak torque will shorten engine
life to overhaul, can cause serious engine damage,
and is considered engine abuse.
Cummins® engines are designed to operate successfully
at full throttle under transient conditions down to peak
torque engine speed. This is consistent with
recommended operating practices.

CAUTION
Do not operate the engine beyond the maximum
engine speed. Operating the engine beyond the
maximum engine speed can cause severe engine
damage. Use proper operating techniques for the
vehicle, vessel, or equipment to prevent engine
overspeed. The maximum engine speed specification
is listed in Maintenance Specifications (Section V).

fault codes and incorrect ECM information can occur.
Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. If the engine
does not shut down, refer to Troubleshooting Symptom
(Section TS) in appropriate Operation and Maintenance
manual.

CAUTION
Failure to follow the correct shutdown procedure may
result in damage to the turbocharger and shorten the
turbocharger life.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
General Information
Some applications utilize accessories such as (CB radios, mobile transmitters, etc.) if not installed and used correctly
the radio frequency energy generated by these accessories can cause electromagnetic interference (EMI) conditions
to exist between the accessory and the Cummins electronically controlled systems. Cummins is not liable for any
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) QSK19
Page 1-18 Section 1 - Operating Instructions

performance problems with either the electronically controlled systems or the accessory due to EMI. EMI is not
considered by Cummins to be a system failure and therefore is not warrantable.
System EMI Susceptibility
Your Cummins product has been designed and tested for minimum sensitivity to incoming electromagnetic energy.
Testing has shown that there is no performance degradation at relatively high energy levels; however, if very high
energy levels are encountered, then some noncritical diagnostic fault code logging can occur. The electronically
controlled systems EMI susceptibility level will protect your systems from most, if not all, electromagnetic energy-
emitting devices that meet the legal requirements.
System EMI Radiation Levels
Your Cummins product has been designed to emit minimum electromagnetic energy. Electronic components are
required to pass various Cummins and industry EMI specifications. Testing has shown that when the systems are
properly installed, they will not interfere with onboard communication equipment or with the vehicle's, equipment's, or
vessel's ability to meet any applicable EMI standards and regulated specifications.
If an interference condition is observed, follow the suggestions below to reduce the amount of interference:
1 Locate the transmitting antenna as far away from the electronically controlled systems and as high as possible.
2 Locate the transmitting antenna as far away as possible from all metal obstructions (e.g., exhaust stacks)
3 Consult a representative of the accessory supplier in your area to:
- Accurately calibrate the device for proper frequency, power output, and sensitivity (both base and remote site
devices must be properly calibrated)
- Obtain antenna reflective energy data measurements to determine the optimum antenna location
- Obtain optimum antenna type and mounting arrangement for your application
QSK19 Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Section 1 - Operating Instructions Page 1-19

- Make sure your accessory equipment model is built for maximum filtering to reject incoming electromagnetic noise.

Maintenance Guidelines - Overview

General Information
Cummins Inc. recommends that the system be maintained according to the Maintenance Schedule in this section.
If the system is operating in ambient temperatures below -18°C [0°F] or above 38°C [100°F], perform maintenance at
shorter intervals. Shorter maintenance intervals are also required if the system is operated in a dusty environment or if
frequent stops are made. For gas fueled generator sets, shorter maintenance intervals are also required, if operating
at loads below 70% for prolonged periods. Contact your local Cummins® Authorized Repair Location for
recommended maintenance intervals.
Some of these maintenance procedures require special tools or must be completed by qualified personnel. Contact
your local Cummins® Authorized Repair Location for detailed information.
If your system is equipped with a component or accessory not manufactured or supplied by Cummins Inc., refer to the
component manufacturer's maintenance recommendations.
OEM supplied equipment and components can impact on the performance and reliability of the engine if they are not
correctly maintained.
Use the chart provided in this section as a convenient way to record maintenance performed.

1 Under circumstances where hours of operation are not accumulated at a fast rate, use calendar time. In other
words, use hours, or calendar time, whichever comes first.
2 Cummins Inc. recommends the use of dry-type air cleaners.
3 Alternate oil drain information is available in the oil drain section of this procedure.
4 Mechanically actuated injector engines only.
5 Electronically actuated injector engines only.
6 Recommended at engine half life to rebuild. Half life varies by application. Contact a Cummins® Authorized Repair
Location if the interval can not be determined.
QSK19 Maintenance Schedule
Section 2 - Maintenance Guidelines Page 2-17

Oil Drain Intervals

As the engine oil becomes contaminated, essential oil additives are depleted. Lubricating oils protect the engine as
long as these additives are functioning properly. Progressive contamination of the oil between oil and filter change
intervals is normal. The amount of contamination will vary, depending on the operation of the engine, kilometers,
miles, or hours on the oil, fuel consumed, and new oil added.

Extending oil and filter change intervals beyond recommendations will decrease engine life, due to factors such as
corrosion, deposits, and accelerated wear.
Use the oil drain interval recommendations in this section to determine which oil drain interval method to use for your
application.
Maintenance Schedule QSK19
Page 2-18 Section 2 - Maintenance Guidelines

Do not extend oil and filter change intervals beyond 250 hours or 6 months (except for standby generator drive
engines) unless the Chart Method is used. On standby generator drive engines, the intervals are 250 hours or 12
months, whichever occurs first. See the charts below.
There are three recommended methods to determine proper oil and filter change interval:
• Chart Method (based on known fuel consumption rates). The type of oil being used, premium or standard must be
identified. Use the following procedure to determine whether you are using premium or standard grade oil. Refer to
Procedure 018-003 in Section V. Refer to Procedure 018-017 in Section V for oil pan capacities.
• Fixed Mileage Method (based on fixed kilometer, miles, hours, or months; whichever occurs first). This information
is contained in the General Information section of this procedure.
• Centinel™ System, coupled with an oil analysis program.

To use the Chart Method effectively:

• Accurate fuel consumption records must be kept and maintained.
• As fuel consumption rates change as a result of a change in operation or duty cycle of a particular engine, the oil
change interval established by the Chart Method must be re-evaluated based on the change in fuel consumption.

CAUTION
Do not extend oil change intervals beyond the maximum point (hours) shown when fuel consumption rates
are less than the minimum shown. Doing so can result in shortened engine life due to oil degradation
processes associated with lightly loaded engines.
QSK19 Maintenance Schedule
Section 2 - Maintenance Guidelines Page 2-19

Work through the example information to read the chart above for premium grade oil.
Assume the engine has a 60.5 liters [16 gal] sump capacity, no rear gear drive, and the engine consumes 56.8 liters
[15 gal] of fuel per hour.
Maintenance Schedule QSK19
Page 2-20 Section 2 - Maintenance Guidelines

• The left vertical axis of the chart represents fuel consumption in gallons per hour.
• Determine the location of 56.8 liters [15 gal] per hour on the left vertical axis, and draw a horizontal line across the
chart until it intersects the curve with the squares.
• At the point of intersection, draw a straight vertical line down to the bottom of the graph.
• The point at which the vertical line intersects the bottom horizontal axis of the graph indicates the oil change
interval (approximately 485 hours in this example).
QSK19 Maintenance Schedule
Section 2 - Maintenance Guidelines Page 2-21
Maintenance Schedule QSK19
Page 2-22 Section 2 - Maintenance Guidelines

Oil change intervals for engines using the Centinel™ system are determined using oil analysis (see Cummins®
Engine Oil and Oil Analysis Recommendations, Bulletin 3810340), therefore the chart method is not used.
Centinel™ - With a continuously operating Centinel™ System, the oil drain interval can be extended until the oil
analysis requires the oil to be changed or the oil is known to be contaminated. Oil analysis is required at 250 hour
intervals when using the Centinel™ System, and must include soot measurement. Fleetguard® oil analysis kit, Part
Number CC 2543, meets this requirement. Oil change intervals for engines using the Centinel™ system are
determined using oil analysis (see Cummins® Engine Oil and Oil Analysis Recommendations, Bulletin 3810340),
therefore the chart method is not used.
Premium oil filters, such as Fleetguard® LF 9000 series filters, or equivalent, are also required when using Centinel™
with spin-on filters.

NOTE: Consult the vehicle equipment manufacturer's maintenance information for total cooling system capacity.
NOTE: When draining and replacing the coolant, always pre-charge the cooling system to a SCA level of 1.5 units per
gallon. This concentration level must not be allowed to go below 1.2 units and must be controlled when the level is
greater than 3 units. Action needed when the level goes below 1.2 is a filter and liquid pre-charge; from 1.2 to 3.0
units, filter only; above 3.0, test at every oil change until level falls to 3.0 or below.
Maintenance Schedule QSK19
Page 2-24 Section 2 - Maintenance Guidelines

When performing service which requires draining the cooling system, take special precautions to collect it in a clean
container, seal it to prevent contamination, and save for reuse.
A Change coolant filters at each oil change to protect the cooling system. Consult the coolant capacity chart to
determine the correct coolant filter for a given cooling system capacity and oil drain interval.
B Once the required number of SCA units has been determined for a given cooling system capacity and
maintenance interval from the chart above, the table in the following Procedure can be used to determine the
correct filter part number. Refer to Procedure 018-003 in Section V.

Fuel Recommendations and Specifications

Fuel Recommendations

WARNING
Do not bleed the fuel system of a hot engine; this can result in fuel spilling onto a hot exhaust manifold, which
can cause a fire.

CAUTION
Due to the precise tolerances of diesel injection systems, it is extremely important that the fuel be kept clean
and free of dirt or water. Dirt or water in the system can cause severe damage to both the fuel pump and the
fuel injectors.

Cummins Inc. recommends the use of American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) number 2D fuel. The use of
number 2D diesel fuel will result in optimum engine performance.
At operating temperatures below 0°C [32°F], acceptable performance can be obtained by using blends of number 2D
and number 1D.

Fuel Recommended Properties

Cummins Inc. recommends the use of fuels that meet the following specifications:
Property Recommended Specifications
Viscosity (ASTM D445) 1.3 to 4.1 centistokes [1.3 to 4.1 mm per second] at 40°C [104°F].

18/16/13. Refer to the "Fuel Cleanliness" section of the Fuels For Cummins® Engines, Bulletin 3379001, for more
details.
2 For additional information on fuel recommendations and specifications, refer to Fuels for Cummins® Engines,
Bulletin 3379001. See ordering information in the back of this manual.

Fuel Cleanliness
This section explains the importance of fuel cleanliness to the successful operation of Cummins® Engines.
Modern fuel systems have been developed to improve combustion performance and fuel consumption, and improve
engine performance. These high-pressure fuel systems operate at pressures approaching 2600 bar [37,700 psi], and
with component match clearances typically from 2- to 5-microns for injectors. At these pressures, very small, hard
particles are potential sources of a fuel system malfunction.
Excessive contamination of diesel fuel can cause premature clogging of diesel fuel filters and/or premature wear of
critical fuel injection system parts. Depending on the size and nature of the particles, this can lead to:
• reduced component life
• component malfunction
• fuel system and/or engine malfunction.
Determining fuel cleanliness requires measuring both the size and number of particles per size class in the fuel, i.e.
the particle size distribution. The ISO has developed a protocol for expressing the level of contamination by coding the
size distribution called ISO 4406. ISO 4406 cleanliness codes are expressed as a series of three numbers (x/x/x),
which correspond respectively to the number of particles greater than 4-, 6-, and 14-microns. For example, the
numbers in the ISO 4406 rating of 18/16/13 translate to:
• 18 - Up to 2500 particles larger than 4µm (per mL of fuel)
• 16 - Up to 640 particles larger than 6µm (per mL of fuel)
Fuel Recommendations and Specifications QSK19
Page V-12 Section V - Maintenance Specifications

• 13 - Up to 80 particles larger than 14µm (per mL of fuel).

Engine builders and fuel injection equipment manufacturers have found that the particles greater than 4-microns and
greater than 6-microns are particularly critical to the durability of the fuel injection system. They also recognize that the
fuel systems must tolerate hard particles smaller than 4-microns that are difficult to filter out, even with the finest
filtration. To maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of filtration, Cummins Inc. has adopted the recommendation of
the World Wide Fuel Charter that fuel supplied to engines(1) meet the ISO 4406 code of 18/16/13 maximum for
respectively 4-, 6-, and 14-micron particle sizes.
Cummins Inc. recommends that if the fuel does not meet the ISO cleanliness code of 18/16/13 when supplied to the
engine(1), additional filtration be applied before the fuel is delivered to the equipment's fuel tank. A Cummins®
Distributor or Cummins Filtration™ representative can supply hardware and additional filtration guidance and can
recommend countermeasures such as improved fuel quality from the fuel supplier, and/or better fuel handling,
storage, dispensing, and fuel tank cleaning techniques.

QSK19 Lubricating Oil Recommendations and Specifications
Section V - Maintenance Specifications Page V-15

Lubricating Oil Recommendations and Specifications

General Information
The use of quality engine lubricating oils and appropriate oil drain and filter change intervals are critical factors in
maintaining engine performance and durability.
Cummins Inc. recommends the use of engine oil that meets the requirements of Cummins Engineering Specification
CES 20071 (standard grade oil) or CES 20076, CES 20077 or CES 20078 (Premium grade oils), or the American
Petroleum Institute (API) performance classification CH-4, CI-4 or CI-4 Plus. Oils meeting CES 20081 (API CJ-4) may
be used but only in engines operating with ultra low sulphur diesel (less than 15ppm).
The oil suppliers are responsible for the quality and performance of their product.
Cummins Inc. recommends engine oil with a nominal ash content of 1 to 1.5 percent mass. Oils with higher ash
content, up to 1.85 percent ash, can be used in areas where the sulfur content of the fuel is normally 1 to 1.5 percent
mass. Limiting ash content is critical to the prevention of valve and piston deposit formation.
For further details and discussion of engine lubricating oils for Cummins® engines, refer to Cummins® Engine Oil and
Oil Analysis Recommendations, Bulletin 3810340.
New Engine Break-in Oils
Special break-in engine lubricating oils are not recommended for new or rebuilt Cummins® engines. Use the same
type of oil during the break-in as is used in normal operation.
Synthetic or partially synthetic engine oils, however, can not be used in a new or rebuilt engine during break-in. Use a
standard petroleum-based oil for the first drain interval.

Cummins Inc. recommends the use of oil based on the most recent American Petroleum Institute (API) performance
categories. For details on lubricating oils for Cummins® engines, contact a Cummins® Authorized Repair Location or
refer to the Cummins® Engine Oil and Oil Analysis Recommendations, Bulletin 3810340.
QSK19 Lubricating Oil Recommendations and Specifications
Section V - Maintenance Specifications Page V-17

Viscosity Recommendations
The viscosity of an oil is a measure of its resistance to
flow. The Society of Automotive Engineers has classified
engine oils into viscosity grades. Oils that meet the low
temperature (-18°C [0°F]) requirement carry a grade
designation with a W suffix. Oils that meet both the low
and high temperature requirements are referred to as
multigrade or multiviscosity grade oils.
Cummins Inc. has found that the use of multigrade
lubricating oil improves oil consumption control and
engine cranking in cold conditions while maintaining
lubrication at high operating temperatures and can
contribute to improved fuel consumption.
Lubricating Oil Recommendations and Specifications QSK19
Page V-18 Section V - Maintenance Specifications

CAUTION
When single-grade oil is used, make sure the oil will
be operating within the temperature ranges, as
shown.
Cummins Inc. recommends the use of multigrade
lubricating oils with the viscosity grades for the ambient
temperatures indicated. This picture shows the preferred
oil grades. Refer to the Cummins® Engine Oil and Oil
Analysis Recommendations, Bulletin 3810340, for
complete list of recommended SAE oil viscosity grades.
Single-grade oils can be substituted for short durations
until the recommended multigrade is procured. Arctic
condition oils are available commercially with better low
temperature properties. Consult your supplier.
The primary criterion for selecting an oil viscosity grade is
the lowest temperature the oil will experience while in the
engine oil sump. Bearing problems can be caused by the
lack of lubrication during the cranking and start up of a
cold engine when the oil being used is too viscous to flow
properly. Change to a lower viscosity grade of oil as the
temperature of the oil in the engine oil sump reaches the
lower end of the ranges shown in the illustration.
QSK19 Lubricating Oil Recommendations and Specifications
Section V - Maintenance Specifications Page V-19

As the engine oil becomes contaminated, essential oil

additives are depleted. Lubricating oils protect the engine
as long as these additives are functioning properly.
Progressive contamination of the oil between oil and filter
change intervals is normal. The amount of contamination
will vary depending on the operation of the engine, hours
or miles on the oil, fuel consumed, and new oil added.

Arctic Operation
CAUTION
The use of a synthetic base oil does not justify extended oil change intervals. Extended oil change intervals
can cause engine damage.
If an engine is operated in ambient temperatures consistently below -23°C [-10°F] and there are no provisions to keep
the engine warm when it is not in operation, use a synthetic engine oil with adequate low temperature properties.
The oil supplier must be responsible for meeting the performance service specifications.

Coolant Recommendations and Specifications QSK19
Page V-20 Section V - Maintenance Specifications

Coolant Recommendations and Specifications

General Information
Cummins Inc. recommends the use of fully formulated antifreeze or coolant containing a precharge of supplemental
coolant additive (SCA). The antifreeze or coolant must meet the specifications outlined in The Maintenance Council
(TMC) Recommended Practice (RP) 329 (ethylene glycol) or RP 330 (propylene glycol). Using fully formulated
antifreeze or coolant significantly simplifies cooling system maintenance.
Copies of TMC specifications can be obtained by contacting:
The Maintenance Council
American Trucking Association
2200 Mill Road
Alexandria, VA 22314-5388
Phone: (703) 838-1763
Fax: (703) 836-6070

Fully formulated antifreeze contains balanced amounts of antifreeze, SCA, and buffering compounds, but does not
contain 50-percent water. Fully formulated coolant contains balanced amounts of antifreeze, SCA, and buffering
compounds already premixed 50/50 with deionized water.
The following pages will give an explanation of water, antifreeze, and SCAs. They will also explain how to test
antifreeze and SCA levels.
This section also contains information on cooling system maintenance and a coolant treatment chart that is used to
determine the correct SCA service filter.
Alternative maintenance practices for cooling systems can be found in Cummins Inc. Coolant Requirements and
Maintenance, Bulletin 3666132.
QSK19 Coolant Recommendations and Specifications
Section V - Maintenance Specifications Page V-21

Fully Formulated Coolant/Antifreeze

Cummins Inc. recommends using either a 50/50 mixture
of good-quality water and fully formulated antifreeze, or
fully formulated coolant when filling the cooling system.
The fully formulated antifreeze or coolant must meet TMC
RP 329 or TMC RP 330 specifications.

Good-quality water is important for cooling system

performance. Excessive levels of calcium and magnesium
contribute to scaling problems, and excessive levels of
chlorides and sulfates cause cooling system corrosion.
Coolant Recommendations and Specifications QSK19
Page V-22 Section V - Maintenance Specifications

Cummins Inc. recommends using Fleetguard® Compleat.

It is available in both glycol forms (ethylene and
propylene) and complies with TMC standards.

Fully formulated antifreeze must be mixed with quality

water at a 50/50 ratio (40-percent to 60-percent working
range). A 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water gives a
-36°C [-34°F] freezing point and a 110°C [228°F] boiling
point, which is adequate for locations in North America.
The lowest freezing point of ethylene glycol antifreeze
(-173°C [-94°F]) is obtained at 68 percent. Using higher
concentrations of antifreeze will raise the freezing point of
the solution and increase the possibility of a silicate gel
problem.
QSK19 Coolant Recommendations and Specifications
Section V - Maintenance Specifications Page V-23

A refractometer, part number CC-2800, must be used to

measure the freezing point of the coolant accurately.

Do not use a floating ball hydrometer. Using a floating ball

hydrometer can give an incorrect reading.
Coolant Recommendations and Specifications QSK19
Page V-24 Section V - Maintenance Specifications

Cooling System Sealing Additives

Do not use sealing additives in the cooling systems. The
use of sealing additives will:
• Build up in coolant low-flow areas
• Clog coolant filters
• Plug radiator and oil coolers
• Plug fuel coolers.

Cooling System Soluble Oils

Do not use soluble oils in the cooling system. The use of
soluble oils will:
• Allow cylinder liner pitting
• Corrode brass and copper
• Damage heat transfer surfaces
• Damage seals and hoses.
QSK19 Coolant Recommendations and Specifications
Section V - Maintenance Specifications Page V-25

Supplemental Coolant Additive (SCA)

Fully formulated products contain SCAs and are required
to protect the cooling system from fouling, solder
blooming, and general corrosion. The coolant filter is
required to protect the cooling system from abrasive
materials, debris, and precipitated coolant additives.

Supplemental coolant additives, or equivalent, are used to

prevent liner pitting, corrosion, and scale deposits in the
cooling system.
Use the correct Fleetguard® coolant filter to maintain the
recommended SCA concentration in the system.
Maintain the correct concentration by changing the
service filter at each oil drain interval.
NOTE: The correct filter is determined by the total cooling
system capacity and oil drain interval. Refer to the
Coolant Capacity charts.
Coolant Recommendations and Specifications QSK19
Page V-26 Section V - Maintenance Specifications

CAUTION
Insufficient concentration of the coolant additives will
result in liner pitting and engine failure.
The SCA concentration must not fall below 1.2 units or
exceed 3 units per 3.8 liters [1 gal] of cooling system
capacity.

Testing SCA Concentration Level CC-2602 Test Kit

Precautions and Instructions for Proper Kit Use
Carefully follow the instructions to test the coolant and take the appropriate action recommended by the kit.
• The coolant sample to be tested must be between 10 and 54°C [50 and 130°F]. If the sample is too cold or too
hot, you will get incorrect results.
• To get the best color match results, compare test strip pads to the color chart in daylight or under cool white
fluorescent lighting. If unsure about a specific color match when a test does fall between two colors on the color
chart, choose the lower numbered block. It is safer to underestimate your results than to overestimate.
• The test strips do have a limited shelf life and are sensitive to humidity and extreme heat. Proper handling and
storage is necessary to protect the life of the strips.
• Keep the cap tightly sealed on the test strip bottle except when removing a strip. Store away from direct sunlight
and in an area where the temperature will generally stay below 32°C [90°F].
QSK19 Coolant Recommendations and Specifications
Section V - Maintenance Specifications Page V-27

• Do not use the test strips after the expiration date stamped on the bottle.
• Discard the kit if any of the pads on the unused strips have turned light brown or pink.
• Use one strip at a time and take care not to touch any of the pads on the strip. Doing so will contaminate the
pads and affect the test results.
• If the strip container is left uncapped for 24 hours, moisture in the air will render the strips useless, even though
no discoloration will be evident.
• Only use the color chart supplied with the kit.
• Clean and dry the sample cup and syringe after each use. This will prevent contaminating future samples.
• Following the correct test times is very important. Use a clock or stopwatch.
• False readings will result if test strip is read too early or too late.
Test Intervals
Testing is recommended if the operator is not sure of his
cooling system condition due to leaks, uncontrolled
topping off of the system, or major coolant loss.
Testing is also recommended twice a year to monitor the
SCA level. If the SCA level is above 3 units, test at
subsequent oil drain intervals until the concentration is
back under 3 units. When the concentration is back under
3 units, start installing the correct service filters according
to the maintenance schedule used.
Coolant Recommendations and Specifications QSK19
Page V-28 Section V - Maintenance Specifications

If the concentration is below 1.2 units per 3.78 liter [1gal],

replace the filter and precharge with liquid.

If the concentration is 1.2 to 3 units per 3.78 liter [1gal],

replace the filter.
QSK19 Coolant Recommendations and Specifications
Section V - Maintenance Specifications Page V-29

If the concentration is above 3 units per 3.78 l[1gal], do

not replace the service filter. Test the coolant at
subsequent oil drain intervals until the concentration is
back under 3 units. When the concentration is back under
3 units, start installing service filters at each oil change
interval.

NOTE: Do not utilize the test kit to maintain minimum

SCA concentration levels (i.e., 1.5 units).
NOTE: In some instances the nitrate or molybdate
reading will be high. However, it is the combined reading
that is important. Therefore, always follow the chart.

Coolant Replacement Requirements

Drain and flush the cooling system after 9000 hours or 2
years of service. Fill with either new fully formulated
coolant or a 50/50 mixture of good quality water and fully
formulated antifreeze, and install the correct service
coolant filter.
If the coolant is not going to be reused, dispose of it in
accordance with federal, state, and local laws and

All Engines Worldwide Generator Drive

Engines Warranted
This Warranty applies to new Engines sold by Cummins and delivered to the first user on or after April 1, 1999, that
are used in generator drive applications anywhere in the world where Cummins approved service is available. These
Engines will have the following rating designations:
Standby Power Rating
Engines of this rating are applicable for supplying emergency power for the duration of the utility power outage. No
overload capability is available for this rating. Under no condition is an Engine allowed to operate in parallel with the
public utility at the Standby Power rating. This rating should be applied where reliable utility power is available. A
Standby rated Engine is to be sized for a maximum of an 80 percent average load factor and 200 hours of operation
per year. This includes less than 25 hours per year at the Standby Power rating. Standby rating should never be
applied except in true emergency power outages. Negotiated power outages contracted with a utility company are not
considered an emergency.
Unlimited Time Running Prime Power Rating
Engines with this rating are available for an unlimited number of hours per year in a variable load application. Variable
load is not to exceed a 70 percent average of the Prime Power rating during any operating period of 250 hours. Total
operating time at 100 percent Prime Power shall not exceed 500 hours per year.
A 10 percent overload capability is available for a period of one hour within a twelve hour period of operation. Total
operating time at the 10 percent overload power shall not exceed 25 hours per year.
Limited Time Running Prime Power Rating
Engines of this rating are available for a limited number of hours in a non-variable load application. It is intended for
use in situations where power outages are contracted, such as in utility power curtailment. Engines may be operated
in parallel to the public utility up to 750 hours per year at power levels never to exceed the Prime Power rating.
All Engines Worldwide Generator Drive QSK19
Page W-28 Section W - Warranty

Limited Time Running Prime Power ratings differ from Unlimited Time Running in that even though the maximum
power output of the Engines is the same, the Limited Time Running allows the Engine to be parallel to the public utility
and run at the full Prime Power rating and must never exceed the Prime Power rating.
Continuous/Base Power Rating
Engines with this rating are available for supplying utility power at a constant 100 percent load for an unlimited number
of hours per year. No overload capability is available for this rating.
Continuous/Base Power ratings differ from Unlimited Time Running Prime Power ratings in that the Continuous/Base
Load ratings are significantly reduced from the Prime Power ratings. Continuous/Base Load ratings have no load
factor or application restrictions.
Coverage
Base Engine Warranty
This Warranty covers any failures of the Engine, under normal use and service, which result from a defect in material
or factory workmanship (Warrantable Failure).
Coverage begins with the sale of the Engine by Cummins and continues for the Duration stated below. The Duration

Repairs and service will be performed by any Cummins distributor, authorized dealer or other repair location approved
by Cummins using new, genuine Cummins or Cummins approved rebuilt parts and assemblies. Cummins will repair
any of the emission control parts found by Cummins to be defective without charge for parts or labor (including
diagnosis which results in determination that there has been a failure of a warranted emission control part).
Emergency Repairs
In the case of an emergency where a Cummins distributor, authorized dealer, or other repair location approved by
Cummins is not available, repairs may be performed by any available repair location using any replacement parts.
Cummins will reimburse the Owner for expenses (including diagnosis), not to exceed the manufacturer's suggested
retail price for all warranted parts replaced and labor charges based on the manufacturer's recommended time
allowance for the warranty repair and the geographically appropriate hourly labor rate. A part not being available within
30 days or a repair not being complete within 30 days constitutes an emergency. Replaced parts and paid invoices
must be presented at a Cummins authorized repair facility as a condition of reimbursement for emergency repairs not
performed by a Cummins distributor, authorized dealer, or other repair location approved by Cummins.
Warranty Limitations
Cummins is not responsible for failures resulting from Owner or operator abuse or neglect, such as: operation without
adequate coolant, fuel or lubricants; overfueling; overspeeding; lack of maintenance of lubricating, cooling or air intake
systems; improper storage, starting, warm-up, run-in or shutdown practices.
 QSK19
Page W-40 Section W - Warranty

The manufacturer warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that the engine is designed,
built, and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the Air Resources Board, and that it is
free from defects in materials and workmanship which cause the failure of a warranted part.
Any warranted part which is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance, or which is scheduled only for
regular inspection to the effect of "repair or replace as necessary" is warranted for the warranty period.
Any warranted part which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance is warranted for the period of time
prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part.
The owner will not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the determination that a warranted part is defective,
if the diagnostic work is performed at a warranty station.
The manufacturer is liable for damages to other engine components caused by the failure under warranty of any
warranted part.
Cummins is not responsible for failures resulting from improper repair or the use of parts which are not genuine
Cummins or Cummins approved parts.
These warranties, together with the express commercial warranties and emission warranty are the sole warranties of
Cummins. There are no other warranties, express or implied, or of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
