different. The gasoline engine generally is not regulated to a maximum
engine speed. The maximum engine speed on a diesel engine is controlled by
an engine speed governor set by the engine manufacturer.
WARNING: Do not operate a diesel engine where there are or
can be combustible vapors. Vapors can be drawn through air
intake system and cause engine acceleration and over-speeding,
resulting in fire, explosion and extensive property damage.
Numerous safety devices are available, such as air intake shutoff
devices, to minimize risk of over-speeding where an engine (due
to its application) might operate in a combustible environment,
such as fuel spills or gas leaks. Equipment owner and operator is
responsible for safe operation of engine. Consult your engine
authorized repair location for future information.
The maintenance guidelines found in the Cummins O & M manual is
recommended for the engine. When followed it will help with a longer life,
better performance and more cost efficient operations. A good maintenance
schedule begins with a daily awareness of the engine and its various systems.
The engine is equipped with an intake manifold grid heater. The grid
heater helps engine starting in cold weather. Intake manifold air temperature
is monitored by the Electronic Control Module on the engine. If intake
manifold temperature is below specified level (approximately 40º F.)
manifold grid heater will be activated. Grid heater activation is indicated by
the WAIT TO START indicator lamp.
WARNING: Use of ether starting fluids may cause an explosion
upon grid heater activation.
With throttle in idle position turn ignition to the ON position allowing
WAIT TO START lamp to extinguish. Turn key to the start position. When
the engine is started the grid heater will again energize for a time period
determined by the intake air temperature and the fuel temperature. Allow
engine to idle with no load for 3-5 minutes. The engine coolant temperature
should be up to normal operating range (140º F / 60 º C to 212º F / 100º C)
before operating engine under full throttle.
NOTE: It is not recommended to idle the engine for long periods
of time. This will simply waste fuel and annoy neighbors.
Consistent periods of long idle may cause damage to the engine.
