1.4 ENGINE MAINTENANCE
For Cummins engine maintenance, refer to the EngineManufacturer’s Manual.
Engine productivity, longevity and low-cost performance depend on a regular
program of periodic maintenance. The materials presented here are listed in
accordance with the EngineManufacturer’s Manual. Consideration may dictate a
revision in scheduling for the periodic checks.
A good periodic preventive maintenance program can increase the productivity,
longevity and low-cost performance of the engine. The data, in this section of the
manual, is from the data in the EngineManufacturer’s Manual. You can change the
interval or schedule of the preventive maintenance program because of the area and
the types of operations you do.
A. Daily Inspections:
(1) Fuel Level
(a) You can find the fuel tank on the left side of the crane (Figure 1-1). If
you keep the tank full of fuel, in cold weather, you can decrease the
quantity of condensation.
