    B R A K E S Y S T E M Engine Brake Exhaust Brakes cannot be used on ISB engines with common rail fuel systems. The variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) takes the place of the exhaust brake and requires no maintenance. The VGT works in conjunction with the engine and transmission to provide an integrated braking system used to help slow the vehicle.

    Nitrous Oxides (NOx) – 0.2 g/bhp-hr Particulate Matter (PM)- .01 g/bhp-hr To meet EPA guidelines, diesel engines installed in Tiffin Motorhomes PowerGlide chassis for domicile in Canada and the USA use an after treatment system (ATS) with a diesel particulate filter (DPF)to reduce particulate matter, and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology to reduce NOx downstream of the engine.
  • Page 26: Ats Warning Lamps

    C U M M I N S E N G I N E S gas reacts with the NOx in the exhaust to produce harmless nitrogen (N ) and water vapor (H O), which then exits out of the tailpipe. ATS Warning Lamps Warning lamps in the driver’s message center alert you of situations with the after-treatment system.
  • Page 27: Aftertreatment Operation

    C U M M I N S E N G I N E S Aftertreatment Operation Diesel Particulate Filter Soot is composed of the partially burned particles of fuel that occur during normal engine operation (black smoke). Ash is composed of the partially burned particles of engine oil that occur during normal engine operation. Over time, both soot and ash accumulate in the DPF and must be removed.
  • Page 28 C U M M I N S E N G I N E S Passive regeneration typically occurs when the vehicle is driven at normal highway speeds and/or under heavy loads. Active Regeneration Active regeneration occurs when the exhaust temperatures are not naturally high enough to oxidize the soot in the DPF faster than it’s collected.
  • Page 29: Engine Indicator Lamps

    C U M M I N S E N G I N E S After approximately four hours of engine idle operation, the engine speed will increase to around 1100 RPM, and remain at this speed for 10 minutes. During this time the ATS is warmed up enough to evaporate any water that has condensed in the system.
  • Page 30 C U M M I N S E N G I N E S For engines with the Engine Protection shutdown feature enabled, if the STOP ENGINE lamp begins to flash, the engine will automatically shut down after 30 seconds. The flashing STOP engine lamp alerts the operator to the impending shut down.
  • Page 31 C U M M I N S E N G I N E S A flashing DPF lamp combined with an illuminated CHECK ENGINE lamp indicates that the DPF needs be regenerated immediately. Engine power will be reduced automatically. When these lamps are illuminated together you should immediately seek service from a Cummins authorized repair location.
  • Page 32 C U M M I N S E N G I N E S An illuminated DEF lamp indicates that the DEF level has fallen below the initial warning level. This can be corrected by filling the DEF tank with diesel exhaust fluid. NOTE: It is recommended that the DEF tank be filled completely full of diesel exhaust fluid in order to correct any fault conditions.
  • Page 33: Engine Starting

    C U M M I N S E N G I N E S Engine Starting Warning Do not use starting fluids with this engine. This engine is equipped with an intake air heater. Use of starting fluids could cause an explosion, fire, personal injury, severe damage to the engine, and property damage.
  • Page 34: Cold-Weather Starting

    C U M M I N S E N G I N E S Starting Set the parking brake. 1. Place the transmission in neutral. 2. Turn the key to the ON position. 3. Wait a minimum of 10 seconds. If the “Wait-to-Start” lamp is still illuminated after 10 seconds, continue to wait until the lamp is no longer illuminated.
