Huaquan Power found that a large number of customers who received after-sales follow-up visits had a weak concept of maintenance for Cummins generators, thinking that as long as they did not use the generators frequently, there was no need for maintenance in this area. So, do you think this idea is correct for users who are currently using generator sets? Here, Huaquan Power gives you a definite answer: only by regularly maintaining the diesel generator set according to regulations is the correct approach, and it does not depend on the length of use. Let's take a detailed look at the reasons behind it:
1、 The first 60 hours of use for Cummins generator sets is the break in period. After the break in period, the lubricating oil in the unit contains a large amount of iron filings and slag, and the lubricating oil pollution is severe. Re lubricating the unit with contaminated lubricating oil in this way will only cause serious damage to the engine. Furthermore, lubricating oil also has a shelf life. If the lubricating oil is not replaced for a long time, it will not lubricate the engine but instead become viscous and block the lubricating oil passage, causing damage to the engine.
2、 Long term failure to check and replace the three filters of the diesel generator set (air filter, diesel filter, oil filter) not only affects the power of the diesel generator set, but also poses a hidden danger to engine failure due to clogged filter elements.
3、 The normal maintenance of Cummins generator sets is not just about replacing lubricating oil and filter elements, but more importantly, a comprehensive and systematic inspection of the unit to eliminate hidden problems in diesel generator sets and eliminate faults in their early stages.
After reading the above explanation from Huaquan Power, I believe you understand that it is necessary to maintain the unit regularly and periodically!
