nected to a separate power cord as long as the power cord is
rated for 1500 watts and the outlet used must have a GFCI
protected rate of 20 Amps. The engine may require several
hours of pre-heating before it will start. It is recommended to
start pre-heating the engine the night before departure.
Remember to unplug the separate power cord.

ENGINE OIL
Following the maintenance guidelines in the Cummins Operation & Maintenance Manual recommendations
for the engine will help to extend engine life and improve performance, resulting in cost efficient
operations. A good maintenance schedule begins with a daily awareness of the engine and its various
systems.
A high grade 15W-40 multiviscosity heavy duty lubricating oil meeting Cummins Engineering
Specification CES 20071 or CES 20076, or American Petroleum Institute (API) specification CH-4 that
can be used as an alternative to CES 20071 is recommended. API CG-4 is acceptable and should not
exceed 75% of the standard drain interval. A critical factor in maintaining engine performance and
durability is the use of high grade multigrade lubricating oil and strict adherence to the maintenance
service intervals.
Shortened drain intervals may be required as determined by a close monitoring of the lubricating oil
condition by means of an oil sampling program. The use of oil analysis to extend the drain interval is
not recommended. There are numerous variables which is the basis of the recommendation.
NOTE:
The engine is filled with 15W-40 oil from the factory.
