9-2015 6. Maintenance
Exercising the generator set drives off moisture, relubricates the engine, and
removes oxides from electrical contacts. The result is better starting, more reliable
operation and longer engine life.
The generator set exerciser mode defaults are as follows.
• Day: Tuesday
• Time: 2:00 pm
• Period: Monthly
• Run Time: 5 minutes
Refer to the Exercise Settings section of this manual for more information on
setting up the exerciser.
6.4 Engine Oil
Recommended Engine Oil
Check the oil level prior to starting the generator set to verify that the oil level is
between the High and Low marks. The generator set is shipped with engine oil.
The use of quality engine oils combined with appropriate oil and filter change
intervals are critical factors in maintaining engine performance and durability.
Cummins Power Generation recommends the use of a high quality SAE 5W-40
GEO (all ambients) or SAE 15W-40 GEO (above 40 °F [4 °C]) engine oil for natural
gas and propane engines. In addition, oil needs to conform with CES 20074. Refer
to the Model Specifications section for oil specification details.
NOTICE
Use of improper oils can result in engine damage. Use only the
recommended oils.
NOTICE
Use of GEO 15W-40 oil in ambient temperatures below 40 °F (4 °C) could
result in engine turbocharger damage.
