1.0 Background
The purpose of this document is to outline the Cummins Power Generation factory recommended maintenance tasks to be
used with high range commercial standby diesel gensets. This material is supplementary to the owners, install, and service
manuals; and not intended to replace any one of those manuals.
This task list is an approved list of maintenance tasks that can be used for purposes of marketing, expanding, and
implementing a common process for the Cummins Distributor. This list provides an improved and more optimized list of
planned maintenance events for the end user.

In general, when a field issue has been identified, a Distributor Service Technician is engaged to resolve the issue. The
Cummins Power Generation DFSE-C supports the Service Technician with necessary information and resources. If the event
requires factory support, the DFSE-C engages with CPG Service. An ITS Issue is created and assigned to the CPG Service
group, which will be tasked with supporting the DFSE-C to closure.
Process Steps:
An ITS issue has been created to document the event and resolution.
A CPG Service Engineer will determine whether the failed component(s) is of interest and in need of return.
A CPG Service Engineer will create a Notes/Discussion entry within in the Issue, with subject title Shipping
Instructions that details shipping information.
As applicable, a Short Term Solution will be issued with title Failed Parts Return Request.
The DFSE-C is required to follow the shipping instructions to ensure that the failed component(s) is received in a
timely, efficient manner.
Revision A 2 of 6
Revision Date: 08/03/09
The DFSE-C will create a Notes/Discussion entry within in the Issue, with the subject title Tracking Information,
which details the method of shipping and provides the applicable Tracking Number. NOTE: The Issue Number is to
be noted on the package prior to shipment as well.
The CPG Service Engineer must ensure that the package is received and the analysis conducted.
The CPG Service Engineer must communicate all results to the DFSE-C by documenting such within the Issue
4.0 Warranty
Implementing this list of maintenance tasks will not void the warranty of the products listed in this document. Subsequently, if
this list is not followed AND the maintenance tasks in the generator manual are, the warranty will not be voided.
