DESCRIPTION
The engine is a Cummins QSL or QSC diesel engine
(Figure 7-1). This Service Manual does not include detailed
information on the engine itself. A separate manual as
prepared in detail by the engine manufacturer, is supplied
with this Service Manual. However, a short description and
maintenance of certain components of the fuel system, air
intake system, and water cooling system is provided in this
section.
The engine is electronically controlled by the Electronic
Control Module (ECM), it is the control center of the system.
It processes all of the inputs and sends commands to the fuel
systems as well as vehicle and engine control devices.
Engine speed is controlled by the foot throttle pedal in the
cab. It controls engine RPM which increases or decreases
proportionately with the amount of foot pressure applied to
the pedal. Engine speed is also controlled by an engine idle
momentary rocker switch located on the steering column.
The foot throttle pedal and engine idle switch are electrically
connected to the superstructure control module which sends
the signal to the engine ECM via the J1939 data link.
The engine and its components are enclosed in a hood
assembly with a grill in the rear of the hood for adequate air
circulation. Access to the engine is gained through a door
assembly in the top of the hood that opens from both sides.
The air intake filter is mounted on the front of the left rear
fender. The muffler is mounted on the left side of the frame
behind the left rear fender.
The engine is equipped with electric air heating elements
that are located in the engine’s intake air stream to aid in cold
starting and reduce white smoke at start-up. In the preheat
mode, the engine should not be cranked until the Wait-to-
Start Lamp turns off. The Wait-to-Start Lamp is illuminated
during the preheat time that takes place when the ignition
switch is in the ON position during cold weather starting. The
ECM checks intake manifold temperature to determine how
long to energize the air heater before extinguishing the Wait-
to-Start Lamp. Once the engine is started, the electric air
heating element will be energized again for a time period
determined by intake air temperature.
DANGER
Risk of Explosion!
Do not spray starting fluid into the air inlet. The spray will
contact the heater elements and could explode causing
personal injury.
