General Safety Instructions
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.
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.
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 eyes with large amounts of water for a minimum of 15 minutes. Avoid prolonged contact with skin. In case of contact, immediately wash skin with soap and water. Do not swallow internally. In the event the catalyst reagent is ingested, contact a physician immediately.
The catalyst substrate contains Vanadium Pentoxide. Vanadium Pentoxide has been determined by the State of California to cause cancer. Always wear protective gloves and eye protection when handling the catalyst assembly. Do not get the catalyst material in your eyes. In Case of contact, immediately flood eyes with large amounts of water for a minimum of 15 minutes. Avoid prolonged contact with skin. In case of contact, immediately wash skin with soap and water.
The Catalyst substrate contains Vanadium Pentoxide. Vanadium Pentoxide has been determined by the State of California to cause cancer. In the event the catalyst is being replaced, dispose of in accordance with local regulations.

General Cleaning Instructions
Definition of Clean
Parts must be free of debris that can contaminate any engine system. This does not necessarily mean they have to appear as new.
Sanding gasket surfaces until the factory machining marks are disturbed adds no value and is often harmful to forming a seal. It is important to maintain surface finish and flatness tolerances to form a quality sealing surface. Gaskets are designed to fill small voids in the specified surface finish.
Sanding gasket surfaces where edge-molded gaskets are used is most often unnecessary. Edge-molded gaskets are those metal carriers with sealing material bonded to the edges of the gasket to seal while the metal portion forms a metal to metal joint for stability. Any of the small amounts of sealing material that can stick to the parts are better removed with a blunt-edged scraper on the spots rather than spending time polishing the whole surface with an air sander or disc.
For those gaskets that do not have the edge molding, nearly all have a material that contains release agents to prevent sticking. Certainly this is not to say that some gaskets are not difficult to remove because the gasket has been in place a long time, has been overheated or the purpose of the release agent has been defeated by the application of some sealant. The object however is just to remove the gasket without damaging the surfaces of the mating parts without contaminating the engine (don't let the little bits fall where they can not be removed).
Bead blasting piston crowns until the dark stain is removed is unnecessary. All that is required is to remove the carbon build-up above the top ring and in the ring grooves. There is more information on bead blasting and piston cleaning later in this document.
Cummins Inc. does not recommend sanding or grinding the carbon ring at the top of cylinder liners until clean metal is visible. The liner will be ruined and any signs of a problem at the top ring reversal point (like a dust-out) will be destroyed. It is necessary to remove the carbon ring to provide for easier removal of the piston assembly. A medium bristle, high quality, steel wire wheel that is rated above the rpm of the power tool being used will be just as quick and there will be less damage. Yes, one must look carefully for broken wires after the piston is removed but the wires are more visible and can be attracted by a magnet.
Oil on parts that have been removed from the engine will attract dirt in the air. The dirt will adhere to the oil. If possible, leave the old oil on the part until it is ready to be cleaned, inspected and installed, and then clean it off along with any attracted dirt. If the part is cleaned then left exposed it can have to be cleaned again before installation. Make sure parts are lubricated with clean oil before installation. They do not need to be oiled all over but do need oil between moving parts (or a good lube system priming process conducted before cranking the engine).
Bead blasting parts to remove exterior paint is also usually unnecessary. The part will most likely be painted again so all that needs happen is remove any loose paint.
Abrasive Pads and Abrasive Paper
The keyword here is "abrasive". There is no part of an engine designed to withstand abrasion. That is they are all supposed to lock together or slide across each other. Abrasives and dirt particles will degrade both functions.
WARNING Abrasive material must be kept out of or removed from oil passages and parts wear points. Abrasive material in oil passages can cause bearing and bushing failures that can progress to major component damage beyond reuse. This is particularly true of main and rod bearings.
Cummins Inc. does not recommend the use of emery cloth or sand paper on any part of an assembled engine or component including but not limited to removing the carbon ridge from cylinder liners or to clean block decks or counterbores.
Great care must be taken when using abrasive products to clean engine parts, particularly on partially assembled engines. Abrasive cleaning products come in many forms and sizes. All of them contain aluminum oxide particles, silicon carbide, or sand or some other similar hard material. These particles are harder than most of the parts in the engine. Since they are harder, if they are pressed against softer material they will either damage the material or become embedded in it. These materials fall off the holding media as the product is used. If the products are used with power equipment the particles are thrown about the engine. If the particles fall between two moving parts, damage to the moving parts is likely.
If particles that are smaller than the clearance between the parts while they are at rest (engine stopped), but larger than the running clearance then damage will occur when the parts move relative to each other (engine started). While the engine is running and there is oil pressure, particles that are smaller than the bearing clearance are likely to pass between the parts without damage and be trapped in the oil filter. However, particles larger than the bearing clearance will remove material from one part and can become embedded in one of the parts. Once embedded in one part it will
Page 18
B3.9, B4.5, B5.9 Industrial General Cleaning Instructions Section i - Introduction Page i-11
abrade the other part until contact is no longer being made between the two parts. If the damage sufficiently degrades the oil film, the two parts will come into contact resulting in early wear-out or failure from lack of effective lubrication.
Abrasive particles can fly about during cleaning it is very important to block these particles from entering the engine as much as possible. This is particularly true of lubricating oil ports and oil drilling holes, especially those located downstream of the lubricating oil filters. Plug the holes instead of trying to blow the abrasive particles and debris with compressed air because the debris is often simply blown further into the oil drilling.
All old gasket material must be removed from the parts gasket surfaces. However, it is not necessary to clean and polish the gasket surface until the machining marks are erased. Excessive sanding or buffing can damage the gasket surface. Many newer gaskets are of the edge molded type (a steel carrier with a sealing member bonded to the steel). What little sealing material that can adhere is best removed with a blunt-edged scraper or putty knife. Cleaning gasket surfaces where an edge-molded gasket is used with abrasive pads or paper is usually a waste of time.
WARNING Excessive sanding or grinding the carbon ring from the top of the cylinder liners can damage the liner beyond reuse. The surface finish will be damaged and abrasive particles can be forced into the liner material which can cause early cylinder wear-out or piston ring failures.
Tape off or plug all openings to any component interior before using abrasive pads or wire brushes. If really necessary because of time to use a power tool with abrasive pads, tape the oil drillings closed or use plug and clean as much of the surface as possible with the tool but clean around the oil hole/opening by hand so as to prevent contamination of the drilling. Then remove the tape or plug and clean the remaining area carefully and without the tool. DO NOT use compressed air to blow the debris out of oil drilling on an assembled engine! More likely than not, the debris can be blown further into the drilling. Using compressed air is fine if both ends of the drilling are open but that is rarely the case when dealing with an assembled engine.
Gasket Surfaces
The object of cleaning gasket surfaces is to remove any gasket material, not refinish the gasket surface of the part.
Cummins Inc. does not recommend any specific brand of liquid gasket remover. If a liquid gasket remover is used, check the directions to make sure the material being cleaned will not be harmed.
Air powered gasket scrapers can save time but care must be taken to not damage the surface. The angled part of the scraper must be against the gasket surface to prevent the blade from digging into the surface. Using air powered gasket scrapers on parts made of soft materials takes skill and care to prevent damage.
Do not scrape or brush across the gasket surface if at all possible.
Solvent and Acid Cleaning
Several solvent and acid-type cleaners can be used to clean the disassembled engine parts (other than pistons. See Below). Experience has shown that the best results can be obtained using a cleaner that can be heated to 90° to 95° Celsius (180° to 200° Fahrenheit). Kerosene emulsion based cleaners have different temperature specifications, see below. A cleaning tank that provides a constant mixing and filtering of the cleaning solution will give the best results. Cummins Inc. does not recommend any specific cleaners. Always follow the cleaner manufacturer's instructions. Remove all the gasket material, o-rings, and the deposits of sludge, carbon, etc., with a wire brush or scraper before putting the parts in a cleaning tank. Be careful not to damage any gasket surfaces. When possible, steam clean the parts before putting them in the cleaning tank.
WARNING When using solvents, acids, or alkaline materials for cleaning, follow the manufacturers recommendations for use. Wear goggles and protective clothing to reduce the possibility of personal injury.
Experience has shown that kerosene emulsion based cleaners perform the best to clean pistons. These cleaners should not be heated to temperature in excess of 77°C (170°F). The solution begins to break down at temperatures in excess of 82°C (180°F) and will be less effective.
Do not use solutions composed mainly of chlorinated hydrocarbons with cresols, phenols and/or cresylic components. They often do not do a good job of removing deposits from the ring groove and are costly to dispose of properly.
Solutions with a pH above approximately 9.5 will cause aluminum to turn black; therefore do not use high alkaline solutions.
Chemicals with a pH above 7.0 are considered alkaline and those below 7.0 are acidic. As you move further away from the neutral 7.0, the chemicals become highly alkaline or highly acidic.
Remove all the gasket material, o-rings, and the deposits of sludge, carbon, etc., with a wire brush or scraper before putting the parts in a cleaning tank. Be careful to not damage any gasket surfaces. When possible use hot high

General Cleaning Instructions B3.9, B4.5, B5.9 Industrial Page i-12 Section i - Introduction
pressure water or steam clean the parts before putting them in the cleaning tank. Removing the heaviest dirt before placing in the tank will allow the cleaner to work more effectively and the cleaning agent will last longer.
Rinse all the parts in hot water after cleaning. Dry completely with compressed air. Blow the rinse water from all the capscrew holes and the oil drillings.
If the parts are not to be used immediately after cleaning, dip them in a suitable rust proofing compound. The rust proofing compound must be removed from the parts before assembly or installation on the engine.
Steam Cleaning
Steam cleaning can be used to remove all types of dirt that can contaminate the cleaning tank. It is a good method for cleaning the oil drillings and coolant passages
WARNING When using a steam cleaner, wear safety glasses or a face shield, as well as protective clothing. Hot steam can cause serious personal injury.
Do not steam clean the following components:
Electrical Components
Wiring Harnesses
Belts and Hoses
Bearings (ball or taper roller)
Electronic Control Module (ECM)
ECM Connectors
Capacitive Coil Driver Module (CCD)
Ignition Coils and Leads
NOx Sensor
Fuel Control Valve
Throttle Driver and Actuator.
Plastic Bead Cleaning
Cummins Inc. does not recommend the use of glass bead blast or walnut shell media on any engine part. Cummins Inc. recommends using only plastic bead media, Part Number 3822735 or equivalent on any engine part. Never use sand as a blast media to clean engine parts. Glass and walnut shell media when not used to the media manufacturer's recommendations can cause excess dust and can embed in engine parts that can result in premature failure of components through abrasive wear.
Plastic bead cleaning can be used on many engine components to remove carbon deposits. The cleaning process is controlled by the use of plastic beads, the operating pressure and cleaning time.
CAUTION Do not use bead blasting cleaning methods on aluminum pistons skirts or the pin bores in any piston, piston skirt or piston crown. Small particles of the media will embed in the aluminum or other soft metal and result in premature wear of the cylinder liner, piston rings, pins and pin bores. Valves, turbocharger shafts, etc., can also be damaged. Follow the cleaning directions listed in the procedures.
CAUTION Do not contaminate wash tanks and tank type solvent cleaners with the foreign material and plastic beads. Remove the foreign material and plastic beads with compressed air, hot high pressure water or steam before placing them in tanks or cleaners. The foreign material and plastic beads can contaminate the tank and any other engine parts cleaned in the tank. Contaminated parts may cause failures from abrasive wear.
Plastic bead blasting media, Part Number 3822735, can be used to clean all piston ring grooves. Do not sure any bead blasting media on piston pin bores or aluminum skirts.
Follow the equipment manufacturer's cleaning instructions. Make sure to adjust the air pressure in the blasting machine to the bead manufacturer's recommendations. Turning up the pressure can move material on the part and cause the plastic bead media to wear out more quickly. The following guidelines can be used to adapt to manufacturer's instructions:
1 Bead size: U.S. size Number 16 — 20 for piston cleaning with plastic bead media, Part Number 3822735
Page 20
B3.9, B4.5, B5.9 Industrial General Cleaning Instructions Section i - Introduction Page i-13
2 Operating Pressure — 270 kPa (40 psi) for piston cleaning. Pressure should not cause beads to break.
3 Steam clean or wash the parts with solvent to remove all of the foreign material and plastic beads after cleaning.
Rinse with hot water. Dry with compressed air.
CAUTION The bead blasting operation must not disturb the metal surface. If the metal surface is disturbed the engine can be damaged due to increased parts clearance or inadequate surface finish on parts that move against other parts.
When cleaning pistons, it is not necessary to remove all the dark stain from the piston. All that is necessary is to remove the carbon on the rim and in the ring grooves. This is best done by directing the blast across the part as opposed to straight at the part. If the machining marks are disturbed by the blasting process, then the pressure is too high or the blast is being held on one spot too long. The blast operation must not disturb the metal surface.
Walnut shell bead blast material is sometimes used to clean ferrous metals (iron and steel). Walnut shell blasting produces a great amount of dust particularly when the pressure if the air pressure on the blasting machine is increased above media manufacturer's recommendation. Cummins Inc. recommends not using walnut shell media to clean engine parts due to the risk media embedment and subsequent contamination of the engine.
Cummins Inc. now recommends glass bead media NOT used to clean any engine parts. Glass media is too easily embedded into the material particularly in soft materials and when air pressures greater than media manufacturer's recommend are used. The glass is an abrasive so when it is in a moving part, that part is abrading all the parts in contact with it. When higher pressures are used the media is broken and forms a dust of a very small size that floats easily in the air. This dust is very hard to control in the shop, particularly if only compressed air (and not hot water) is used to blow the media after it is removed from the blasting cabinet (blowing the part off inside the cabinet may remove large accumulations but never removes all the media).
Bead blasting is best used on stubborn dirt/carbon build-up that has not been removed by first steam/higher pressure washing then washing in a heated wash tank. This is particularly true of pistons. Steam and soak the pistons first then use the plastic bead method to safely remove the carbon remaining in the grooves (instead of running the risk of damaging the surface finish of the groove with a wire wheel or end of a broken piston ring. Make sure the parts are dry and oil free before bead blasting to prevent clogging the return on the blasting machine.
Always direct the bead blaster nozzle "across" rather than directly at the part. This allows the bead to get under the unwanted material. Keep the nozzle moving rather than hold on one place. Keeping the nozzle directed at one-place too long causes the metal to heat up and be moved around. Remember that the spray is not just hitting the dirt or carbon. If the machining marks on the piston groove or rim have been disturbed then there has not been enough movement of the nozzle and/or the air pressure is too high.
Never bead blast valve stems. Tape or use a sleeve to protect the stems during bead blasting. Direct the nozzle across the seat surface and radius rather than straight at them. The object is to remove any carbon build up and continuing to blast to remove the stain is a waste of time.
Fuel System
When servicing any fuel system components, which can be exposed to potential contaminants, prior to disassembly, clean the fittings, mounting hardware, and the area around the component to be removed. If the surrounding areas are not cleaned, dirt or contaminants can be introduced into the fuel system.
The internal drillings of some injectors are extremely small and susceptible to plugging from contamination. Some fuel injection systems can operate at very high pressures. High pressure fuel can convert simple particles of dirt and rust into a highly abrasive contaminant that can damage the high pressure pumping components and fuel injectors.
Electrical contact cleaner can be used if steam cleaning tools are not available. Use electrical contact cleaner rather than compressed air, to wash dirt and debris away from fuel system fittings. Diesel fuel on exposed fuel system parts attracts airborne contaminants.
Choose lint free towels for fuel system work.
Cap and plug fuel lines, fittings, and ports whenever the fuel system is opened. Rust, dirt, and paint can enter the fuel system whenever a fuel line or other component is loosened or removed from the engine. In many instances, a good practice is to loosen a line or fitting to break the rust and paint loose, and then clean off the loosened material.
When removing fuel lines or fittings from a new or newly-painted engine, make sure to remove loose paint flakes/chips that can be created when a wrench contacts painted line nuts or fittings, or when quick disconnect fittings are removed.
Fuel filters are rated in microns. The word micron is the abbreviation for a micrometer, or one millionth of a meter. The micron rating is the size of the smallest particles that will be captured by the filter media. As a reference, a human hair
Page 21
General Cleaning Instructions B3.9, B4.5, B5.9 Industrial Page i-14 Section i - Introduction
is 76 microns [0.003 in] in diameter. One micron measures 0.001 mm [0.00004 in.]. The contaminants being filtered out are smaller than can be seen with the human eye, a magnifying glass, or a low powered microscope.
The tools used for fuel system troubleshooting and repair are to be cleaned regularly to avoid contamination. Like fuel system parts, tools that are coated with oil or fuel attract airborne contaminants. Remember the following points regarding your fuel system tools:
Fuel system tools are to be kept as clean as possible.
Clean and dry the tools before returning them to the tool box.
If possible, store fuel system tools in sealed containers.
Make sure fuel system tools are clean before use.

Cummins® Service Engine Model Product Identification
General Information
The Cummins® Service Engine Model Nomenclature procedure describes how engines are identified within Cummins service organization. This method was introduced for models after and including manufacture year 2007.
Electronic engines are identified by the first two letters, either an "IS" for On-Highway automotive or "QS" for Off­Highway industrial market applications.
The third letter is the engine platform designation followed by the engine liter size.
If the engine operates on a fuel type other than diesel, the type will be identified after the liter size.
Page 51
Cummins® Service Engine Model Product Identification B3.9, B4.5, B5.9 Industrial Page E-26 Section E - Engine and System Identification
The control system is identified with the letters "CM" followed by the control system model number.
The technology identifier after the control system designates the prevailing technology used with the engine. (See table in this procedure for letter designations.)
Example:

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.
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 action to rectify the alarm condition or contact your nearest Authorized Cummins® Distributor.
Page 57
Normal Starting Procedure B3.9, B4.5, B5.9 Industrial Page 1-2 Section 1 - Operating Instructions
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
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.
Page 58
B3.9, B4.5, B5.9 Industrial Normal Starting Procedure Section 1 - Operating Instructions Page 1-3
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.
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.

Normal Starting Procedure B3.9, B4.5, B5.9 Industrial Page 1-4 Section 1 - Operating Instructions
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 negative (-) battery cable first and attach the negative(-) battery cable last.
CAUTION When using jumper cables to start the engine, make sure to connect the cables in parallel: Positive (+) to positive (+) and negative(-) to negative (-). When using an external electrical source to start the engine, turn the disconnect switch to the OFF position. Remove the key before attaching the jumper cables.
CAUTION To avoid damage to engine parts, do not connect jumper starting or battery charging cable to any fuel system or electronic component.
This illustration shows a typical parallel battery connection. This arrangement doubles the cranking amperage.
NOTE: Always reference the relevant OEM literature for jump starting procedures. Failure to follow correct procedures can result in damage to the ECM and other electrical equipment.
This illustration shows a typical series battery connection. This arrangement, positive (+) to negative (-), doubles the voltage.
NOTE: Always reference the relevant OEM literature for jump starting procedures. Failure to follow correct procedures can result in damage to the ECM and other electrical equipment.

Cold Weather Starting
With Flame Start System
WARNING Do not use starting fluids with this engine. This engine is equipped with a flame start system; use of starting fluid can cause an explosion, fire, personal injury, severe damage to the engine and property damage.
The only recommended cold weather starting aids for industrial applications with grid a flame start system, are engine coolant preheaters and oil pan immersion heaters. Contact a Cummins® Authorized Repair Location for more information
Cold weather starting aids are available for your engine. Contact a Cummins® Authorized Repair Location for more information.
In cold weather, the WAIT-TO-START lamp will stay on longer.
If ambient temperature is below 16° C [60° F], fully depress the throttle after engaging the stater. Full throttle on the VE pump makes sure there is sufficient start fuel delivery and helps keep the engine operating once started. The in-line pumps with RQV and RQV-K governors require full throttle position and hold the rack in the start fuel position. The throttle must be depressed after engaging the starter to allow the shutoff lever to move to the run position before moving the throttle.
Grid Heater
Industrial Applications
WARNING Do not use starting fluids with this engine. This engine is equipped with an intake air heater; use of starting fluid can cause an explosion, fire, personal injury, severe damage to the engine and property damage.
The only recommended cold weather starting aids for marine or industrial applications with grid a heater or air intake heater, are engine coolant preheaters and oil pan immersion heaters. Contact a Cummins® Authorized Repair Location for more information

The in-line pumps with RQV and RQV-K governors require full throttle position and hold the rack in the start fuel position. The throttle must be depressed after engaging the starter to allow the shutoff lever to move to the run position before moving the throttle.
Ether Starting Aids
Industrial Applications
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.
WARNING Starting fluid is highly flammable and explosive. Keep flames, sparks, and arcing switches away from starting fluid.
WARNING To reduce the possibility of personal injury, avoid inhalation of starting fluid vapors.
CAUTION Do not use excessive amounts of starting fluid when starting an engine. The use of too much starting fluid will cause damage to the engine.

Starting Procedure After Extended Shutdown or Oil Change
General Information
Complete the following steps after each oil change, or after the engine has been shut down for more than 30 days to make sure the engine receives the correct oil flow through the lubricating oil system.
1. Disconnect the electrical wire from the fuel pump solenoid.
2. Rotate the crankshaft, using the starting motor, until oil pressure appears on the gauge or the warning lamp goes out.
3. Connect the electrical wire to the fuel pump solenoid valve.
4. Start the engine. Refer to 101-014 (Normal Starting Procedure).
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.
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.

Engine Operating Range B3.9, B4.5, B5.9 Industrial Page 1-8 Section 1 - Operating Instructions
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).
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).
CAUTION Do not idle the engine for excessively long periods. Long periods of idling, more than 10 minutes, can cause poor engine performance.
Page 64
B3.9, B4.5, B5.9 Industrial Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Section 1 - Operating Instructions Page 1-9
Engine Shutdown
General Information
Allow the engine to idle 3 to 5 minutes before shutting it off after a full-load operation. This allows adequate cool down of pistons, cylinders, bearings, and turbocharger components.
NOTE: For engines equipped with an electronic control module (ECM) ensure the keyswitch is turned off for a minimum of 70 seconds prior to disconnecting the continuous (unswitched) battery power supply. If the unswitched battery power supply is disconnected in less than 70 seconds after the keyswitch is turned off active 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 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 energy­emitting 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
- Make sure your accessory equipment model is built for maximum filtering to reject incoming electromagnetic noise.

Preventative maintenance begins with day-to-day awareness of the system. Before starting the system, check the appropriate fluid levels. Look for:
Leaks
Loose or damaged parts
Worn or damaged belts
Worn or damage low and high voltage harnesses
Any change in system appearance.
Odor of fuel
Odor of electronic devices
System Operation Report
The system must be maintained in top mechanical and electronic condition if the operator is to get optimum satisfaction from its use. The maintenance department needs daily running reports from the operator to make necessary adjustments in the time allocated. The daily running report also helps to make provisions for more extensive maintenance work as the reports indicate the necessity.
Comparison and intelligent interpretation of the daily report, along with a practical follow-up action, will eliminate most failures and emergency repairs.
Report to the maintenance department any of the following conditions that may apply:
Low lubricating oil pressure
Low power
Power increases or engine surge
Erratic or no accelerator control or response
Any warning lights flashing or staying on
Abnormal water or oil temperature
Unusual system noise
Excessive smoke
Excessive use of coolant, fuel, or lubricating oil
Any fuel, coolant, or lubricating oil leaks
Loose or damaged parts
Worn or damaged belts
Worn or damaged low or high voltage harnesses
Unusual System Noise
During daily maintenance checks, listen for any unusual system noise(s) that can indicate that service is required.

B3.9, B4.5, B5.9 Industrial Drive Belts Section 3 - Maintenance Procedures at Daily Interval Page 3-5
Drive Belts
Maintenance Check
Poly-Vee Belt
CAUTION Make sure that the engine is switched off and any starting mechanisms are isolated before any inspections are made. Daily belt inspections can be carried out through an appropriate aperture. Do not remove any guards.
Inspect the belts daily. Check the belt for intersecting cracks. Traverse (across the belt width) cracks are acceptable. Longitudinal (direction of belt length) cracks that intersect with transverse cracks are not acceptable. Replace the belt if it is frayed or has pieces of material missing. Refer to Section A for belt adjustment and replacement procedures.
Belt damage can be caused by:
Incorrect tension
Incorrect size or length
Pulley misalignment
Incorrect installation
Severe operating environment
Oil or grease on the side of belts.
Cogged Belt
Inspect the belts daily. Replace the belts if they are cracked, frayed, or have chunks of material missing. Small cracks are acceptable.
Adjust the belts that have a glazed or shiny surface, which indicates belt slippage. Correctly installed and tensioned belts will show even pulley and belt wear. Refer to Section A for belt adjustment and replacement procedures.
Belt damage can be caused by:
Incorrect tension
Incorrect size or length
Pulley misalignment
Incorrect installation
Severe operating environment
Oil or grease on the belts
Page 81
Fuel-Water Separator B3.9, B4.5, B5.9 Industrial Page 3-6 Section 3 - Maintenance Procedures at Daily Interval
Measure the belt tension in the center span of the pulleys.
Refer to the Belt Tension Chart in Section V for the correct gauge and tension value for the belt width used.
An alternate method (deflection method) can be used to check belt tension by applying 110 N [25 lbf] force between the pulleys on v-belts. If the deflection is more than one belt thickness per foot of pulley center distance, the belt tension must be adjusted.
Refer to Section A for adjustment procedures.
For cogged belts, make sure that the belt tension gauge is positioned so that the center tensioning leg is placed directly over the high point (hump) of a cog. Other positioning will result in incorrect measurement.
Fuel-Water Separator
Drain
WARNING Drain the water-fuel separator into a container and dispose of in accordance with local environmental regulations.
Cummins Inc. requires a fuel-water separator or fuel filter be installed in the fuel supply system.
Drain the water and sediment from the separator daily.
Canister Type
Shut off the engine.
Pull up on the drain valve lever until fluid drains out of the drain tube. Drain the filter sump until clear fuel is visible.
Push up on the drain valve until fluid drains out of the drain tube.
Page 82
B3.9, B4.5, B5.9 Industrial Lubricating Oil Level Section 3 - Maintenance Procedures at Daily Interval Page 3-7
Spin-on Type
Shut off the engine.
Use your hand to open the drain valve. Turn the valve counterclockwise approximately 3½ turns until the valve drops down 25.4mm [1 in] and draining occurs.
Drain the filter sump until clear fuel is visible.
CAUTION When closing the drain valve, do not overtighten the valve. Overtightening can damage the threads.
To close the valve, lift the valve and turn clockwise until it is hand-tight.
Lubricating Oil Level
Maintenance Check
CAUTION Never operate the engine with oil level below the L (low) mark or above the H (high) mark. Poor engine performance or engine damage can occur.
The engine must be level when checking the oil level to make sure the measurement is correct.
Shut off the engine for an accurate reading.
Wait at least 15 minutes after shutting off the engine to check the oil level. This allows time for the oil to drain into the oil pan.
For additional lubricating oil recommendations and oil pan capacity information, refer to Maintenance Specifications (Section V).

B3.9, B4.5, B5.9 Industrial Radiator Pressure Cap Section 4 - Maintenance Procedures at 250 Hours or 3 Months Page 4-5
Air in the coolant can result in loss of coolant from the overflow when the aerated coolant is hot. The heated air expands, increasing the pressure in the system, causing the cap to open.
Similarly, coolant can be displaced through the overflow if the head gasket leaks compression gases to the coolant system.
The operating pressure of the coolant system and the lubricating system can result in the mixing of the fluids if there is a leak between the systems, such as the head gasket or oil cooler (refer to Procedure 007-037 Lubricating Oil System in Section 7).
NOTE: Transmission fluid can also leak into the coolant through radiator bottom tank transmission oil coolers. Refer to the OEM service manual.
Inspect for Reuse
Be sure the correct radiator cap is being used. Refer to (Cooling System) in Section V - Specifications.
Inspect the rubber seal of the pressure cap for damage.
Inspect the radiator fill neck for cracks or other damage.
Refer to the radiator manufacturer for instructions if the fill neck is damaged.
Pressure Test
The system is designed to use the pressure cap to prevent boiling of the coolant.
Different caps are specified for the two recommended systems:
System Cap
A-Normal-Duty 104°C [219°F] 103 kPa [15 psi] B-Light-Duty 99°C [210°F] 48 kPa [7 psi]

Maintenance Procedures - Overview
General Information
All maintenance checks and inspections listed in previous maintenance intervals must also be performed at this time, in addition to those listed under this maintenance interval.
Engine Coolant Antifreeze
Maintenance Check
CAUTION Overconcentration of antifreeze or use of high silicate antifreeze can cause damage to the engine.
Check the antifreeze concentration. Use a mixture of 50­percent water and 50-percent ethylene glycol or propylene glycol-base antifreeze to protect the engine to -32°C [-25°F] year-around.
The Fleetguard® refractometer, Part Number C2800, provides a reliable, easy to read, and accurate measurement of freezing point protection and glycol (antifreeze) concentration.
Antifreeze is essential in every climate.
It broadens the operating temperature by lowering the coolant freezing point and by raising its boiling point.
The corrosion inhibitors also protect the cooling system components from corrosion and provides longer component life.
Fuel Filter (Canister Type)
Preparatory Steps
WARNING Drain the fuel-water separator into a container, and dispose of contents in accordance with local environmental regulations.
Lift up on the filter drain lever to drain fuel out of the filter for approximately 5 seconds. This will eliminate fuel from running over the top of the filter upon removal.

Remove
Clean all debris from around the canister lid.
Remove the filter lid and filter element. A crescent wrench can be used if the lid can not be removed by hand.
NOTE: Remove the filter element by twisting the element sideways from the filter lid.
Install
Install the new element in the canister lid, and place back in the canister by twisting clockwise.
Refer to Procedure 018-024 (Cummins/Fleetguard® Filter Specifications) in Section V.
NOTE: The replacement filter element comes with a new o-ring for the canister lid. The o-ring must be replaced with the filter element.
Lubricate the o-ring with clean engine oil.
Hand-tighten the canister lid.
