Foreword

This is an engine operation and maintenance manual,


not a repair manual. The design of Cummins Engines
makes it possible to replace worn or damaged parts
with new or rebuilt parts with a minimum of down
time. Contact the nearest Cummins Distributor for
parts replacement as they are equipped and have well
informed, trained personnel to perform this service.
lf your shop is properly equipped to perform either
maintenance, unit replacement and/or complete
engine rebuild, contact the nearest Cummins Distribu
tors to obtain available repair manuals and arrange
for training of personnel.
For model identification of an engine, check the data-
plate. The letter and number code indicates breathing
(naturally aspirated except when letter "T" for turbo-
charged is present), cubic inch displacement, appli
cation and maximum rated horsepower.

Check Hydraulic Governor


Many engines used in stationary power applications
are equipped with hydraulic-governed fuel pumps
which use lubricating oil as an energy medium, same
weight as used in the engine. Oil level in the governor
sump must be at the full mark on the dipstick.
Engine applications in a cold environment
should use a lighter weight oil in the governor sump.
Check Air Connections
Check the air connections to the compressor and the
air equipment, as used, and to the air cleaners and air

Check Engine Coolant Supply
1. Remove the radiator or heat exchanger cap and
check the engine coolant supply. Add coolant
as needed.
2. Make a visual check for leaks and open the water
filter shut-off valves.

Starting the Engine


Starting requires that clean air and fuel be supplied
to the combustion chambers in the proper quantities
at the correct time.

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

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.

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.

Caution: Never leave the switch key or the override


button in the valve open or in the run position when
the engine is not running. With overhead tanks this
would allow fuel to drain into the cylinders, causing
a hydraulic lock.

Stop Engine Immediately If Any Parts Fail


Practically all failures give some warning to the
operator before the parts fail and ruin the engine.
Many engines are saved because alert operators heed
warning signs (sudden drop in oil pressure, unusual
noises, etc.) and immediately shut down the engine.

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.

Engine Operation in Cold Weather
Satisfactory performance of a diesel engine operating
in low ambient temperature conditions requires modi
fication of the engine, surrounding equipment, operat
ing practices and maintenance procedures. The
colder the temperatures encountered the greater
the amount of modification required and yet with the
modifications applied, the engines must still be
capable of operation in warmer climates without
extensive changes. The following information is
provided to engine owners, operators and mainte
nance personnel on how the modifications can be
applied to get satisfactory performance from their
diesel engines.
There are three basic objectives to be accomplished:

practical and dependable warm-up of the engine


and equipment.
2. A unit or installation which is as independent as
possible from external influences.
3. Modifications which maintain satisfactory operat
ing temperatures with a minimum increase in
maintenance of the equipment and accessories.
lf satisfactory engine temperature is not maintained,
higher maintenance cost will result due to the in
creased engine wear, poor performance and forma
tion of excessive carbon, varnish and other deposits.
Special provisions to overcome low temperatures are
definitely necessary, whereas a change to warmer
climate normally requires only a minimum of revision.
Most of the accessories should be designed in such a
way that they can be disconnected so there is little
effect on the engine when they are not in use.
The two most commonly used terms associated with
preparation of equipment for low temperature opera
tion are "Winterization" and "Arctic Specifications"
Winterization of the engine and/or components so
starting and operation are possible in the lowest
temperature to be encountered requires:
1. Use of correct materials.
2. Proper lubrication, low temperature lubricating oils.
3. Protection from the low temperature air. The metal
temperature does not change, but the rate of heat
dissipation is affected.
4. Fuel of the proper grade for the lowest temperature.
5. Heating to be provided to increase the engine block
and component temperature to a minimum of
—25° F [—32° C] for starting in lower temperatures.
6. Proper external heating source available.
7. Electrical equipment capable of operating in the
lowest expected temperature.
Arctic specifications refer to the design material and
specifications of the components necessary for satis
factory engine operation in extreme low temperatures
to —65° F [—54° C]. Contact Cummins Engine
Company, lnc., or the equipment manufacturer to
obtain the special items required.
Caution: "Anti-leak" antifreezes are not recommended
for use in Cummins Engines. Although these anti
freezes are chemically compatible with DCA water
treatment, the "anti-leak'' agents may clog the coolant
filters and render them ineffective.

Maintenance Instructions

mm •a Maintenance is the key to lower operating costs. A


Iw™IIT1©I1oI1C© diesel engine requires regularly scheduled maintenance
to keep it running efficiently.

Maintenance Schedule

Preventive maintenance is the easiest and least


expensive type of maintenance. lt permits the Mainte
nance Department to do the work at a convenient time.

A Good Maintenance Schedule Depends On


Engine Application
Actual operating environment of the engine governs
the maintenance schedule. The suggested check sheet
on the following page indicates some checks have to
be performed more often under heavy dust or other
special conditions.

Using the Suggested Schedule Check Sheet


The maintenance schedule check sheet is designed
as a guide until adequate experience is obtained to
establish a schedule to meet a specific operation.
A detailed list of component checks is provided
through several check periods; also a suggested
schedule basis is given for hours of operation, or
calendar of time.
A maintenance schedule should be established using
the check sheet as a guide; the result will be a mainte
nance program to fit a specific operation.
The check sheet shown can be reproduced by any
printer. The person making each check can then
indicate directly on the sheet that the operation has
been completed. When a complete column (Under A,
B, C, etc.) of checks is indicated, the engine will be
ready for additional service until the next check is due.

Storage for Engines Out of Service


lf an engine- remains out of service and its use is not
immediately forthcoming, special precautions should
be taken to prevent rust. Contact the nearest Cummins
Distributor or consult applicable Shop Manual for
information concerning engine storage procedure.

Maintenance Instructions

"A" Maintenance Checks— Daily

Make a Daily Report of Engine Operation to the


Maintenance Department
The engine must be maintained in top mechanical
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 allotted and 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:
Fig. 2-1, (K21901). Checking engine oil level
1. Low lubricating oil pressure.
2. Low power. Check Engine Coolant Level

3. Abnormal water or oil temperature. Keep the cooling system filled to the operating level.
Check the coolant level daily or at each fuel fill point.
4. Unusual engine noise. lnvestigate for causes of coolant loss. Check the
5. Excessive smoke. coolant level only when the system is cool.

6. Excessive use of coolant, fuel or lubricating oil. Check Belts


7. Any fuel, coolant or lubricating oil leaks. Visually check belts for looseness. lf there is evidence
of belt slippage adjust as follows:
Check Engine
Using the appropriate gauge, Fig's. 2-2 and 2-3, check
Check Engine Oil Level
Note: Some dipsticks have dual markings, with highl
and low-level marks: static oil marks on one side,
engine running at low idle speed marks on opposite
side. Be sure to use the proper scale.
1. Check the oil level with the dipstick oil gauge
located on the engine. Fig. 2-1. For accurate read
ings, the oil level should not be checked for approx
imately 15 minutes after the engine is shut-down.
Keep the dipstick with the oil pan with which it was
originally shipped. Keep the oil level as near the "H"
(high) mark as possible.
Caution: Never operate the engine with the oil level
below the "L" (low) mark or above the "H" (high) mark.
2. If necessary, add oil of the same quality and brand
as already in the engine. See Section 3. Fig. 2-2. (OM1014L). Checking belt tension with a Krikit gauge

The test kit indicates DCA concentration by measuring
the total nitrite of a coolant sample, which provides
cylinder liner cavitation protection.
When antifreeze is present, it may contribute to the
total nitrite, but most of the nitrite protection is ob
tained from the DCA inhibitor. ln general, a good nitrite
reading indicates that the combined inhibitor packages
contained in the antifreeze (if used) and in DCA are
sufficient to ensure complete cooling system
protection.

Synthetic oils for use in diesel engines are primarily
blended from synthesized hydrocarbons and esters.
These base oils are manufactured by chemically
reacting lower molecular weight materials to produce
a lubricant that has planned predictable properties.
Synthetic oil was developed for use in an extreme
environment where the ambient temperature may be
as low as —50° F [—45° C] and extremely high engine
temperatures at up to 400° F [205° C]. Under these
extreme conditions petroleum base stock lubricants
(mineral oil) do not perform satisfactorily.
Cummins Engine Co., lnc. recommends synthetic
lubricating oil for use in Cummins engines operating
in areas where the ambient temperature is consistently
lower than —13° F [—25° C]. Synthetic lubricating
oils may be used at higher ambient temperatures
provided they meet the appropriate APl Service

1. Always use the torque values listed above when specific torque values are not available.
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

the air pressure in the vehicle air system exceeds


80 psi [Kpa], the air pressure raises the plunger.
This causes the injection timing to advance. The
air pressure will hold the plunger in the raised
position (advanced injection timing) until the
engine reaches 25 percent of rated power. When
the engine reaches approximately 25 percent of
rated power, the electrical pressure switch
causes the solenoid valve to close. With the valve
closed the air supply to the actuator is shut off.
The air pressure against the plunger becomes
less than 80 psi [5t51 Kpa] and the spring moves
the plunger down to retard the injection timing.
From 25 percent of rated power to full power the
engine runs with retarded injection timing.

Fuel System

The PT fuel system is used exclusively on Cummins


GrOlip 5 Diesels. lt was developed by Cummins Engine
Company. The identifying letters "PT" are an
abbreviation for pump functions of supplying fuel
pressure at the proper time "pressure-time."

Fuel System

PT Fuel Pumps
Three models of PT fuel pumps are used: The PT
(type G), PT (type R) and PT (type G) AFC. The
PT (type G) indicates that fuel pressure regulation
is a part of the governor function. The PT (type R)
refers to fuel pressure regulation as a function of
a regulator assembly. The PT (type G) AFC fuel
pump indicates that the air fuel control is an
integral part of the fuel pump.
1. Repair of PT (type G and H) pumps and calibra
tion instructions is described in Bulletin No.
3379084 or revisions.
2. Bulletin No. 3379101 covers calibration and
rebuilding of the PT (type R) pumps as used
on Cummins engines.
3. Bulletin No. 3379068 covers calibration speci
fications of the PT (type G) pumps as used on
Cummins engines.
4. For Air Fuel Control, aneroid adjustment and
calibration refer to fuel pump Calibration
manuals.
5. The CPL (Control Parts List) Manual, Bulletin
No. 3379133, is a listing of basic engine parts
and timing specifications which are neces
sary to produce a given engine performance.
By reference to CPL numbers stamped on
engine nameplate, this list may be used to
identify parts within an engine. These parts
then determine whether a fuel pump calibra
tion is suitable for that engine.

Demand Flow and Cooling


The Demand Flow and Cooling (DFC) lubricating
system adjusts the oil flow and oil cooling as
needed by the engine, instead of operating con
tinuously at maximum capacity. The DFC system
has a lower pressure in main oil passage (main oil
rifle), 35 to 45 psi [241 to 310 kPa], less oil flow
from the pump, 40 GPM [151.4 LPM], and controls
the amount of oil that is cooled before it enters
the engine oil passages.
The flow is controlled through two independent
circuits. One circuit is a lower flow capacity oil
pump that has an internal pressure control mech
anism and external feedback signal hose. The
second circuit contains a temperature-controlled Fig. 7-6. Measure The Outside Diameter Of The Idler Shaft.

The Lubricating Oil Cooler


The FFC (Full Flow and Cooling) engine has the
oil pressure regulator in the front support for the
oil cooler, Fig. 7-17. The regulator controls the oil
pressure before the oil flows through the oil filter.
Use the same procedure to remove and install the
regulator in the oil cooler that you used to remove
and install the regulator in the oil pump.

the oil is cold (oil temperature less than 215°F
[96.1 °C], the thermostat is in the closed position
and the oil flow bypasses the oil cooler. As the oil
becomes hotter (more than 215°F [96.1 °C], the

Cleaning
1. Clean the element and housing immediately
after disassembly. This will prevent hardening
and drying of foreign material in the element
and housing.
Fig. 7-30. Remove The Element From The Housing.
2. Use mineral spirits or equivalent to clean the
housing. Flush the oil passages in the reverse
direction of the oil flow.
3. Flush the element with hot water. Make sure
the water goes around and through the tubes
of the element. Dry with compressed air.
Cuatlon: Never use a cooler element from an
engine that had a failure. When an engine has a
failure, metal particles enter the oil cooler. These
particles cannot be completely removed from the
element and can cause damage to the engine.

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

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.

2. When returning an engine to service from
storage, make sure all foreign matter is re
moved from the screens and strainers.
3. Apply oil under pressure to the lubricating
system before starting the engine.
4. The engine is now ready to start.
Caution: Always check with the nearest Cummins
Distributor for the correct perservatlve oil for the
engine.

Starting the Engine


After inspecting the engine and parts, make sure
all the preservative oil has been flushed away.
Start the engine as described in "Preparation for

Notes:
1. Always use the torque values listed above when specific torque values are not available.
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: If replacement capscrews are of a higher grade than the original capscrew, tighten the replace
ment capscrew to the torque value used for the original capscrew.
