The N14 now has added strength,

with superior fuel-air management.
The result is an engine capable of a
peak rating of 525 hp, with 1650 lb-ft
of torque at 1300 rpm. That’s serious
power, for the most demanding jobs.

NO COMPROMISES.

Cummins N14 is designed to meet

emissions regulations. So are other
engines. The difference is, those other
engines give something up – either
performance or fuel economy – to
meet the standards.
With Cummins N14’s innovative
design, you sacrifice nothing.
The N14 gives you more power,
better fuel economy, plus increased
durability and reliability.
R E
YOU AREN’T JUST
RUNNING EQUIPMENT,
YOU’RE RUNNING A
BUSINESS.
It’s tough making a living. The world
keeps getting smaller, the competition
keeps getting fiercer. You need every
advantage you can get just to survive.
Cummins electronic engine controls
can help. There are two levels of
electronic fuel management available on
the Cummins N14: CENTRY and
CELECT.
CENTRY gives you exceptional fuel
economy with precise engine speed
control at an affordable price. And
CENTRY is programmable, so engine
parameters can be adjusted to match
your power needs.
CENTRY includes self diagnostics,
a default operation system that allows
your engine to keep operating safely in
the event of engine faults, and a datalink
connector that lets you reprogram
your N14 with Cummins electronic
service tools.
If you sometimes find the need for
an extra burst of power, you should
consider getting the ADVANTAGE
option with your CENTRY Fuel System.
ADVANTAGE is a special feature that
automatically delivers more pulling power
on demand.
L I
The most advanced electronics
package available for the Cummins
N14 is CELECT. With infinitely variable
injection timing, CELECT delivers
superior fuel efficiency and improved
cold weather startability.
CELECT programmable features
include speed control, gear-down
protection, idle shutdown and idle
shutdown override, power take-off
(in-cab or remote) speed-limiting and
variable speed governors, and more.
SMARTER IS BETTER.
No matter what business you are in, you
need to run smart. Cummins electronics
give you access to information like never
before. The N14’s maintenance monitor
warns you when scheduled service is
needed. And both CENTRY and
CELECT incorporate an electronic
memory which records engine operating
conditions whenever a fault occurs. This
can greatly increase the accuracy of
troubleshooting and repairs, minimizing
downtime and increasing productivity.
With CELECT, you can even find out
vital engine information like fuel used at
idle, percentage of time spent in PTO
mode, and more. Put CELECT
electronics together with
Cummins INTELECTTM
software like INSITETM
, and
you’ll have the most
comprehensive data management
package going.
A B
With its reduced maintenance,
exceptionally low oil use, high durability
and increased fuel economy, the N14
should give you the lowest total cost
of any engine in its class.
CELECT Fuel System: The ultimate
in full-authority electronic engine
controls with ratings up to 525
horsepower. Comprehensive
diagnostic, prognostic and
programmable features are all
included.
Also available from Cummins is
CENTRY electronics, a cost-effective
package which contains many of the
programmable features of CELECT,
without the diagnostic and prognostic
capabilities.
A special CENTRY option is
available for applications which
require extra power. This feature,
known as ADVANTAGE, automatically
“kicks” the engine into a high-power
mode when needed.
Articulated Steel
