WARNING: Do not operate a diesel engine where there are or can
be combustible vapors. Vapors can be drawn through the 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 an engine over-speeding where an
engine (due to its application) might operate in a combustible
environment, such as fuel spills or gas leaks. The equipment owner
and operator is responsible for safe operation of engine. Consult
your engine authorized repair location for further information.
The Cummins diesel engine is a 6-cylinder in-line engine, utilizing an
electronic fuel control system to supply fuel to the cylinders for precise fuel
delivery, as well as built-in diagnostics to monitor engine operation.
Engine electronics also enable the use of programmable monitoring
features that may cause limited engine power/vehicle speed when certain
conditions arise. These features limit the operation of the engine when
conditions that may damage the engine are encountered. These conditions
may include such events as low oil pressure and high coolant temperature.
When the engine electronics encounter such a condition, it limits the amount
of power produced by the engine to help prevent or limit damage. It is
possible however, for the engine to be damaged if corrective action is not
taken immediately when such a condition exists. Operation of the vehicle
while in the limited operation mode may result in serious engine damage. If a
sudden loss of power is noticed in conjunction with the engine warning light
illuminating STOP ENGINE, pull to the side of the road as soon as it is
safely possible. Evaluate the situation.
Refer to the engine manufactures OEM for additional information
concerning the operation, description, maintenance, and warranty information
for the engine.
