Electrical Generating Equipment
Accidental or remote starting of the generator set can cause severe personal
injury or death.

The table(s) that follow show the recommended service intervals for a generator set

conditions, the service intervals should be reduced accordingly.
At each scheduled maintenance interval, perform all previous maintenance checks
that are due for scheduled maintenance.
Some of the factors that can affect the maintenance schedule are:
• Extremes in ambient temperature
• Exposure to elements
• Exposure to salt water
• Exposure to windblown dust or sand
Consult with your authorized Cummins service provider if the generator set will be
subjected to any extreme operating conditions, and determine if extra protection or
a reduction in service intervals is needed. Use the engine hours shown on the
system status screen to keep to keep an accurate log of all service performed for
warranty support. Perform all service at the time period indicated, or after the
number of operating hours indicated, whichever comes first.
