1. Drain the coolant

We should pay more attention to the change of weather when we leave the Cummins diesel engine in the outside after it stops working. If the local temperature is below 4 ℃, we should drain the coolant from the water tank due to the volume of water changes greatly at 4 ℃.

3. Check the temperature before starting Cummins engine

In winter, The Cummins engine is allowed to be started when it is up to a natural temperature. since the temperature for cylinder inhaled is low, so we should take some measures to raise the Cummins engine temperature before it started.

Before running on full load,the Cummins engine should run at low speed for 3-5 minutes in order to raise the temperature of the Cummins diesel engine and check the lubrication working condition at the same time. In the operation, we should try to avoid speeding up suddenly, or it will affect the service life of the valve components.
