tion after an electric repair.
To aid in starting the engine when the temperature
is 50° F [10.0° C] or below, an intake air preheater
is available.
Preheater equipment consists of a hand-priming
pump to pump fuel into the intake manifold, and a
switch to turn on the glow plug which is electrically
heated by the battery. Fuel burns in the intake mani
fold and heats the intake air.
Warning: Do not use vapor in conjunction with the
preheater. To do so could result in a fire.
To use the preheater for cold starting:
1 . Set the throttle in idle position. Turn the glow plug
toggle switch to the "ON" position. The red indi
cator light must be on.
2. After the red light has been on for 20 seconds,
Fig. 1-9, (V21970). Using manual override knob start cranking the engine. As soon as the engine
begins rotating, operate the preheater priming

Manually Operated Valve
The manually operated valve, illustrated in Fig. 1-11
includes the valve body assembly (6), clamp (2) and
nylon tube (3). The fuel cylinder (1), atomizer fitting
(5) and pull control (7) must be ordered separately.
Standard pull or throttle control cables may be used,
to actuate the manual valve, if desired.
Electrically Operated Valve
The electrically operated valve, Fig. 1-12, includes the
valve body (7), 90 degree elbow (5), clamp (2), push
button switch (6), and nylon tube (3). The thermostat
is mounted on the engine exhaust manifold and cuts
out the valve by sensing manifold heat when the
engine is running. See parts catalog for fuel cylinder

and observe the glow plug through the 1/8 inch
plug hole. The glow plug should be white hot; if
not, connect the wiring to a 6- to 12-volt (as used)
source and check the amperage; it should be 30 to
32 (minimum). lf the glow plug is all right, check
the manual switch and resistor (if used) and
replace if necessary.
Note: The preheater priming pump, switches and
resistor are located at the instrument panel and are to
be checked during engine starting.
The cold starting aid, approved for use in Cummins
Engines, has been based upon starting aid capabili

Caution: Do not attempt to use vapor compound type

lnstallation Recommendations
The atomizer fittings must be mounted in the engine
air intake manifold or inlet connection to provide an
equal distribution of starting fuel to each cylinder.
The atomizer holes are 180 degrees apart and must
be mounted so the spray is injected the "long way"
of the manifold. lf incorrectly installed, the spray goes
crosswise of the manifold.

raw fuel will wash the lubricating oil off the cylinder
walls and dilute the crankcase oil so all moving parts
of the engine will suffer from poor lubrication.
lf the engine is not being used, shut it down.
Turn Switch to "Off" Position to Shut Down the Engine
The engine can be shut down completely by turning
off the switch on installations equipped with an elec
tric shut-down valve, or by turning the manual shut
down valve knob. Turning off the switch which
controls the electric shut-down valve stops the engine
unless the override button on the shut-down valve
has been locked in the open position. lf the manual
override on the electric shut-down valve is being used,
turn the button fully counterclockwise to stop the
engine. Refer to "Normal Starting Procedure". The
valve cannot be reopened by the switch until after the
engine comes to a complete stop, unless a rapid re
start valve is installed.
Cold-Weather Protection
1. For cold-weather operation, use of permanent-
type antifreeze with rust inhibitor additives is
recommended. See Section 3.
2. Drain the cylinder block and heads on all engines
by opening the petcocks and removing the drain
plugs as shown in Fig's. 1-13 to 1-19. If an air com
pressor (Fig. 1-20), heat exchanger or other "water
cooled" accessory is used, open the petcock and
drain. Failure to properly drain the engine and
accessories may cause serious damage during
freezing weather.

Cummins diesel engines have been developed to take
advantage of the high energy content and generally
lower cost of No. 2 Diesel Fuels. Experience has shown
that a Cummins diesel engine will also operate satisfac
torily on No. 1 fuels or other fuels within the following

2. Do not use above values in place of those specified in other sections of this manual; special attention should be observed
when using SAE Grade 6. 7 and 8 capscrews.
3. The above is based on use of clean, dry threads.
4. Reduce torque by 10% when engine oil is used as a lubricant.
5. Reduce torque by 20% if new plated capscrews are used.
6. Capscrews threaded into aluminum may require reductions in torque of 30% or more of Grade 5 capscrews torque and
must attain two capscrew diameters of thread engagement.
Caution: lf replacement capscrews are of a higher grade than originally supplied, adhere to torque specifications for

Cleaning
To Clean The Engine
Before you clean the engine, remove the electrical
equipment (Fig. 0-4 and Fig. 0-5) and controls. Put
a label on the wiring as it is removed. Put a cover
or tape on the openings of the engine to prevent
moisture from entering the engine. Clean the
engine with any standard steam cleaner or with
hot water under high pressure. Fig. 0-5 (N10075). Remove The Alternator.

Injection Timing
For Small Cam and Big Cam Engines
Use the cylinders No. 1 , 3 and 5 to check the injec
tion timing of the Small Cam and Big Cam
Engines. Use the Part No. 3375522 Injection Tim
ing Tool to check the timing. The timing tool is
ued to check the timing of all Cummins engines
and can be used with the rocker levers installed
on the engine.
Follow these instructions to check the timing.
1. lnstall the support bracket for the push rod
adapter (5, Fig. 14-31) into the slot nearest the
clamp handle (4).

4. Rotate the crankshaft in the direction of
engine rotation to the Top Dead Center (TDC)
position of the compression stroke for the No.
1 cylinder, (1) Fig. 14-32. Loosen the thumb
screw for the piston travel gauge. Move the
gauge so that the stem of the gauge is in the
center of the piston plunger rod. Lower the
gauge against the piston plunger rod until the
stem is fully compressed, then raise the
gauge approximately 0.025 inch. Tighten the
thumbscrew to hold the gauge in position.
Rotate the crankshaft 2 or 3 degrees clock
wise and counterclockwise to make sure the
piston is at TDC. Loosen the setscrew for the
gauge dial and turn the dial so that the In
dicator is at zero. Tighten the setscrew.
Note: Each gauge for the Timing Tool has a total
travel of 1.0 inch. One revolution of the indicator
needle equals 0.100 inch travel of the indicator
stem. When the stem of the gauge is compressed,
the indicator turns clockwise and the revolution
counter turns counterclockwise. Be sure to note
the reading on the revolution coiunter at TDC.
