Daily pre-start checks · hour-based service schedule · fluids and capacities · warning actions.
Complete before starting or reconnecting load. Do not operate with active shutdown faults, leakage, unsafe wiring, blocked ventilation or failed protection functions.
Check on level ground before starting and keep the level between the dipstick marks.
Do not operate if: oil is below the low mark, contaminated by fuel/coolant or showing abnormal consumption.
Check recovery/radiator level only when safe and cool; inspect cap area and hoses.
Do not operate if: coolant is low, leaking, cap/seal is damaged or frequent top-up is required.
Drain collected water or sediment using the installed separator procedure.
Do not operate if: water-in-fuel indication persists or fuel is contaminated.
Check fuel level, tank cap, drain, vent, external transfer arrangement if fitted and visible fuel lines.
Do not operate if: leakage, contamination, blocked vent or insufficient fuel for the duty is found.
Inspect engine, radiator, filters, hoses, clamps, mounts and base frame.
Do not operate if: active oil, fuel or coolant leakage, loose mount or damaged hose is present.
With engine stopped, inspect belt condition and fan/guard security.
Do not operate if: belt cracking, fraying, looseness, contact damage or a missing guard is found.
Check precleaner, restriction indicator and intake sealing.
Do not operate if: restriction indication, damaged housing/element or unfiltered-air path is present.
Inspect two 12 V batteries, terminals, cables and charger indication.
Do not operate if: terminal/cable is loose or corroded, battery case is damaged or weak-voltage warning is active.
Clear louvers and radiator face; verify service doors, guards and acoustic panels are secure.
Do not operate if: airflow is blocked, panels are loose or combustible debris is present.
Inspect visible joints, supports, rain entry points and clearance to combustible material.
Do not operate if: exhaust leakage, loose support, hot-gas impingement or smoke/fire evidence is present.
Inspect alternator, customer cabling, covers, earth bonds and signs of contamination or moisture.
Do not operate if: damaged cable, moisture/oil ingress, loose cover or earth defect is found.
At key-on/start, confirm no shutdown remains; verify ventilation, access, extinguisher, spill control and clear work area.
Do not operate if: oil pressure, temperature, overspeed, sensor, AC protection or safety-area fault remains active.
Select an interval and complete earlier recurring checks where due. Use the installed engine ESN/CPL and alternator nameplate for part selection.
Lubricating oil and coolant
Check levels and stop for low level, contamination or active leakage.
Fuel-water separator
Drain water/sediment; investigate persistent water-in-fuel indication.
Drive belts, precleaner and restriction indicator
Inspect belts and fan area; check air-cleaner precleaner and restriction indication.
Air-intake piping
Inspect piping, clamps and seals for damage or unfiltered-air path.
Air-cleaner restriction indicator
Check and service as soon as restriction is indicated or damage is found.
Lubricating oil and filter(s)
Change lubricating oil and filter arrangement correct to ESN/CPL.
Fuel filter(s) and coolant filter
Replace fuel filters; replace coolant filter if fitted.
SCA/antifreeze concentration
Check and correct using approved coolant practice.
Alternator, earth bonds and guards
Inspect loose parts, screens, warning labels, terminal connections, cooling path and cabling.
Electrical checks
Record voltage, current, frequency and excitation; test insulation resistance by qualified personnel.
Repeat prior maintenance
Complete all daily, weekly and 250-hour tasks.
Valve and injector overhead set
Adjust by qualified Cummins technician using the correct ESN/CPL procedure.
Engine exterior, hoses and mounts
Clean engine exterior, inspect radiator hoses, engine mounts, crankshaft and external breather.
Fuel pump and injectors
Inspect/calibrate by Cummins technician using ESN/CPL data.
Turbocharger, vibration damper, fan hub and water pump
Check/inspect using the specified service procedure.
Cooling system
Drain, flush and refill with approved premix; remove air as per manual procedure.
Bearing / service level planning
Use alternator label and HC manual: bearing lubrication/inspection at 4,000-4,500 hours, Level 2 at 10,000 hours, Level 3 planning at 30,000 hours.
Use clean filling equipment and verify levels after circulation. Use ESN-specific information for ordering filters and service parts.
Engine lubricating oil
SAE 15W-40, API CH-4.
Oil sump
High-low level capacity; fill by dipstick after circulation.
Total lubrication system
Total system capacity.
Coolant
Cummins/Fleetguard EG Compleat premix 50:50.
Cooling practice
Do not mix incompatible coolant chemistry; check SCA and antifreeze concentration.
Fuel
High Speed Diesel conforming to IS 1460.
Standard fuel tank
Enclosed genset standard tank capacity from the specification sheet.
Fuel filters
Dual system: pre-filter / water separator with WIF sensor plus main filter.
Alternator
STAMFORD HCI544D, IP23, Class H; use alternator serial/nameplate for parts and service.
Starting system
24 V DC electrical starting with two 12 V batteries.
Read and record the exact displayed code. Never bypass a shutdown or energise output while a protection fault is unresolved.
Action: open generator breaker or remove load if possible, stop immediately, check oil level/leaks and do not restart until diagnosed.
Action: remove load safely, stop as directed, allow cooling and inspect coolant level, leaks, belts and airflow.
Action: trip/remove load, stop and isolate. Do not restart until governor/speed sensing is checked by qualified service.
Action: stop, isolate electrical and fuel sources, evacuate and use the correct extinguisher only if trained.
Action: stop repeated cranking; check displayed code, DC voltage, fuel supply and start permissives.
Action: drain separator, inspect fuel quality and service filters if the indication persists.
