All personnel move to the assigned assembly point “X” in an orderly fashion using
the nearest exit and ensuring that;
all windows are closed in own working area, and;
other persons follow suit and also evacuate.
Fire Team members shall observe their assigned areas for signs of a fire before
evacuating with other personnel.
At the assembly point, the Evacuation Coordinator or Assistant Evacuation
Coordinator shall conduct a roll-call using the lists provided in the facility for this
purpose.
Personnel may only go back to their workplace upon the instruction of the
Evacuation Coordinator or the Assistant Evacuation Coordinator.
Evacuation Procedure
Any employee that observes a fire shall:
Make verbal alarm by shouting: “Fire! Fire!”
If properly trained, attempt to extinguish the fire and leave the fire only
once relieved by the Fire Team.
If not properly trained, evacuate immediately.
Upon hearing the verbal fire alarm, the first available employee shall sound the
fire/evacuation siren (- - - - - -)
The Fire Team will locate and assess the fire and decide suitable course of
action (i.e. is there need for assistance).
Should assistance be required the Fire Team will instruct any Head of
Department (HOD) to call the emergency services.
Such HOD shall also be responsible to meet the emergency services at the main
entrance, clear their path and guide them to the scene of the fire.

AS16 bearing
Main Bearings
 Also AS16 material
 New material is harder

than used in previous
engines.
 Material and design were
chosen to extend engines
usable life to rebuild
Thrust bearings
4 cylinder engines — The

number 4 main bearing
position.
6 cylinder engines — The

number 6 main bearing
position.
Crankshaft and Crankshaft Gear
Similar to previous rear gear train

crankshafts
 Increase stroke for increased displacement
 100 mm machined counterweights
Front crankshaft gear only drives the

lubricating oil pump
Rear gear drives the camshaft gear, engine

accessory drive, and fuel pump
Piston Cooling
Cylinder blocks are not machined

for saddle jet piston cooling
nozzles
Only J-Jet piston cooling nozzles

are used
Camshaft, Tappets, Push
Rods and Camshaft Gear
 Sliding Tappets
 Cast Iron Camshaft
 Camshaft speed indicator ring
mounted to the end of the camshaft
at the front of the engine
 Bolted Camshaft Gear
 Thrust plate between camshaft gear
mounting flange and the cylinder
block
Camshaft Bushings
 Camshaft Bushings may be
installed at both of the outermost
bores of the cylinder block
 Engines produced at many
possible factories
 All engines will have the
camshaft bushing installed in the
flywheel end bore
 No camshaft bushing installed in
other bores (parent bore/block
material)
Piston, Piston Pin and Piston Rings
All ratings will use gallery cooled

pistons
 Internal oil gallery in the piston for
circulating oil sprayed by the J-jet
piston cooling nozzle
Piston pin is offset for noise
reduction
 Piston crown includes an insert for
the upper ring
Piston Rings
1. Upper Ring, keystone cut
2. Middle Ring, square cut and
twisted rectangular ring
3. Oil Control Ring with ring expander
Connecting Rod
 Fracture split connecting rod cap design
 Common with some ISB, ISBe, and QSB
CM850 engines.
 Not backwards compatible with some
connecting rods due to weight differences
 Best way to identify is by forging
numbers and physical characteristics of the
rod
Piston and Connecting Rod Assembly
Connecting rod orientation is different

that ISB and ISBe engines due to
increased displacement product
 Make sure piston orientation is correct

for offset piston pin
 Make sure the orientation of the angled

surface of the connecting rod correct
Cylinder Block
The casting is a skirted design which

incorporates ribs for superior strength and noise
reduction
The cylinder block uses bored cylinders as

opposed to liners. In the event of damage or wear
out, the cylinders may be able to be repaired. The
cylinders can be bored to 0.5mm
oversize
Unlike previous B series cylinder blocks, the

cylinder block is of a conjoined bore design
Traditional Cylinder Block Design (ISB & B3.9/B5.9)
Represents coolant flow
New Cylinder Block Design

(QSB4.5/6.7, ISBe4, ISB CM2150, ISBe CM2150, & ISDe4.5/6.7)
Main Bearing
Capscrew
The main bearing capscrew

torque value is greater than
torque used on QSB Tier II
(VP30/VP44) and B3.9/5.9
engines.
 This limits the number of times
the main bearing capscrew can
be reused
• Each time the main capscrew
bearing is removed, the length
can be measured to determine if
the capscrew is reusable
Block Stiffener Plate
 Helps strengthen the cylinder

block
 Helps to reduce engine noise
during engine operation.
Vibration Damper
 A viscous damper is standard for

ratings of 2200 rpm and above
(rated speed).
 No damper is required for the
QSB4.
 The vibration damper and
crankshaft speed indicator ring are
a permanent assembly
 If either the vibration damper or
crankshaft speed indicator ring are
damaged, the entire assembly
must be replaced.
Front Gear Cover
The front gear cover houses the
lubricating oil pump, front crankshaft
seal, and camshaft speed indicator ring.
The front gear covers also contains the

oil pressure switch, camshaft
speed/position sensor, and crankshaft
speed/position sensor.
Front Crankshaft Seal
The front crankshaft seal is a dual or non-
lip style seal which utilize a built in wear
sleeve and a concealed sealing lip.
Because the rotating portion of the seal

does not contact the crankshaft, wear will
not occur at the crankshaft but instead
internal to the seal.
No wear sleeve or oversize front crankshaft

seal is available.
Rear Crankshaft Seal
 QSB CM850 engine uses a double dust
lip-style rear crankshaft seal in which the
rotating portion of the sealing occurs at
the contact surface between the lip of the
seal and the crankshaft.

This is unlike QSB VP30/44 engines that
use a dual or non-lip style seal which
utilize a built in wear sleeve and a
concealed sealing lip
Rear Crankshaft Seal -
Continued
 The rear crankshaft seal is installed in
the flywheel housing bore
 Each new rear crankshaft seal will come
with 2 disposable seal drivers
• One for Front Gear Train Engine (1)
• One for Rear Gear Train Engine (2)
Electronic Control Module (ECM)
Mounting Plate
The Electronic Control Module

(ECM) mounting plate is air cooled
design
 Unlike ISB & ISBe which required fuel to
flow through for cooling purposes
 It is a nylon mounting plate, using
rubber vibrations isolators to mount the
Electronic Control Module (ECM) to the
cylinder block.
Accessory Drive
 The gear driven accessory location is on the left

hand side rear above/below the fuel pump
depending upon fuel pump location.
 The drive runs at 1:1 DR and is clockwise
rotation (viewed from the front of the engine).
 This is opposite to Front Gear train QSB
rotation.
 The maximum torque capability of the drive is
142 N-m (105 lb-ft).

material
 Requires increased valve lash setting
 Continue to have a dimple to identify
the exhaust valves (2) from the intake
valves (1)
Valve seat inserts are serviceable with
oversize versions available
Valve Guides and Valve Stem Seals
The cylinder head has integrally cast

valve guides which are not serviceable.
If the valve guides are damaged, the
cylinder head must be replaced
The valve stem seals are of a “top hat”

design. This design utilizes the valve
spring to secure the valve stem seal in
place.
 The same valve stem seal is used for
both intake an exhaust
Cylinder Head Gasket
Cylinder head gasket is a new design for the

increased displacement QSB CM850 engines
(4.5/6.7 liter)
Note: For the cylinder head, if valve depth

and injector protrusion specifications can
be maintained, the cylinder head can be
resurfaced. For the cylinder block, if the
piston protrusion specification can be
maintained, the cylinder block can be
resurfaced.
Crosshead
 Same as used on all 4 valve
per cylinder “B” product
 The crosshead allows the

rocker lever to move both
exhaust or intake valves at the
same time.
 The crosshead receives its

lubrication from a drilling in the
rocker lever and rocker shaft

Fuel System General Information
WARNING
The fuel pump, high-pressure fuel lines, and fuel rail contain very high-pressure fuel.
Do not loosen any fittings while the engine is running. Wait at least 10 minutes after
shutting down the engine before loosening any fittings in the high-pressure fuel
system to allow pressure to decrease to a lower level.
WARNING
Fuel is flammable. Keep all cigarettes, flames, pilot lights, arcing equipment, and
switches out of the work area and areas sharing ventilation to reduce the possibility
of severe personal injury or death when working on the fuel system.
WARNING
Do not vent the fuel system on a hot engine; this can cause fuel to spill onto a hot
exhaust manifold, which can cause a fire.
NOTE: It is not necessary to vent air from the high pressure fuel system before
starting the engine. Cranking the engine will help prime the fuel system.
Fuel System Cleanliness During
Repairs Is Very Important
 Clean all fuel system fittings,
lines, and components before
disassembly.
 Make sure that no dirt or debris
enters the fuel system
components to prevent the
passing of contaminants to the
high pressure fuel rail and
injectors.
 Small amounts of dirt and
debris can cause a malfunction of
these components.
Why Fuel System Clean Care Really
Does Matter
Fuel Pump
 The fuel pump pressure is

1600 bar.
 There are 2 different
mounting locations
available for high-
pressure fuel pumps.
 The pump may be
mounted in a high or low
position.
Fuel Pump Actuator
 PWM (Pulse Width

Modulated) device driven by
the ECM
 “Normally Open”
 The fuel pump actuator is a
serviceable part.
 Troubleshooting procedures
have been updated to reflect
when the fuel pump actuator
should be replaced vs the
entire fuel pump assembly
Fuel Heater (Optional)
 The fuel heater is not controlled by the

electronic control module (ECM). A
bimetallic strip acts as a thermostat.
 Mounted at the priming pump filter

head. The fuel heater will turn on
below approximately 2°C [35.6°F] and
turn off above approximately 24°C
[75°F].
Priming Pump
 QSB CM850 engines do not

utilize an electric motor driven
lift pump.
 The OEM installed hand
priming pump is used to prime
the fuel system. It can be
remote or mounted on the
engine.
 During normal engine
operation, the gear pump
mounted on the fuel pump will
draw fuel from the OEM fuel
tank
Injectors and Fuel
Lines Group
Low Pressure Fuel Lines
 Quick connect fuel lines

are utilized on the low
pressure side of the fuel
system.
 Fuel supply line
connecting the fuel pump
outlet to the fuel filter
head inlet.
 Fuel supply line
connecting the fuel filter
head outlet to the fuel
pump inlet.
Fuel Drain Lines
 1) Fuel drain connection from the fuel injection pump.

 2) Fuel drain line from the fuel rail pressure relief valve.
 3) Fuel drain line from the injector drain port at the back of
the cylinder head.
Fuel Manifold
 No fuel return manifold as found

on other Cummins HPCR engines
• The OEM drain line will attach at
fuel pump drain connection.
 To aid in separating fuel system
drain flows, quick disconnect
fittings have been added
• Critical fuel drain flows for
troubleshooting include
– Fuel Pressure Relief Valve
– Injector Drain
– Fuel Pump Drain
Fuel Filter Head / Bracket
 The fuel filter head and

bracket are separate pieces.
• The bracket mounts to the
intake manifold cover
• The filter head mounts to
the filter bracket
Fuel Filter (Pressure side)
 The on engine fuel filter (5 um) is
pressurized by the gear mounted
on the fuel pump.
• Unlike ISBe which was pressurized
by the electric lift pump
• Can be mounted on engine or
chassis
• Cummins Inc. recommends NOT
pre-filling the secondary fuel filter
– Reduces the chance of
introducing unfiltered fuel/debris
into the fuel system
– Use the hand priming pump on
the suction side fuel filter to
prime the pressure side filter
Fuel Filter (Suction side)
 The priming pump fuel filter (25 um)

and water separator is on the suction
side of the fuel system.
• Requires an extension harness to
connect the water in fuel (WIF) sensor
• Can be pre-filled
 Priming
• Pump the primer handle until resistance
is felt and the handle cannot be pumped
anymore (approximately 140 to150
strokes for dry filters, or 20 to 60 strokes
for pre-filled filter).
• Lock the manual priming pump handle.
• Crank engine. If the engine does not
start after 30 seconds, turn key to OFF
position.
• Pump the priming pump again,
repeating the previous steps until engine
starts
Fuel Rail Supply Line
 High pressure fuel from

the high pressure pump
to the fuel rail.
 On 4 cylinder engines
the pressure side fuel
filter/bracket must be
removed to access the
top fitting on the fuel rail
supply line
Fuel Rail
 The fuel rail contains high

pressure fuel from the fuel
pump.
 The fuel pressure relief valve
is a cartridge located at the
front end of the fuel rail, Fuel
pressure relief valve
1) Fuel pressure relief valve
drain
2) High pressure fuel supply
fitting from fuel pump
3) Mounting bracket (s)
4) High pressure injector supply
fitting (s)
5) Fuel pressure sensor
Fuel Injector
 The injector is manufactured

by Bosch
 The injector retainer is part of
the fuel injector
 The injector sealing washer is
a flat brass seal
Cummins High
Pressure Common
Rail
Injector Theory of Operation

• Injector Solenoid is not
energized. The solenoid
spring forces the +
solenoid in the closed
position
-
• Equal fuel pressure is
exerted on both the
plunger (1) and shoulder
area (2) of the needle
• The greater surface
area of the plunger (2)
results in more hydraulic 1
advantage keeping the
injector in the closed
position
2
• When the ECM
requires fuel for a
cylinder a voltage is +
driven to the injector
solenoid
-
• This creates an
electromagnetic force
that is greater than
the force of the spring
•This forces the
solenoids metal core
to move upward
• As the solenoid lifts Fuel from the
a leak path is opened leak path drains
in the fuel injector through a
passage in the
cylinder head
• The leak results in
the shoulder of the
injector needle now +
seeing a greater
hydraulic force than
the plunger (due to
-
the leak path)
• This allows the
needle to lift from the
closed position
• Fuel is then injected
into the cylinder
through the nozzles
• When fuel is no longer
needed the injector
solenoid is de-energized +
by the ECM
• The electromagnetic -
force is removed
allowing the spring to
force the solenoid to the
closed position
• When the solenoid is
in the closed position
the leak path is removed
• With the leak path
removed the greater
surface area of the
plunger causes the
plunger/needle to reseat
and end fuel injection
• Equal fuel pressure
is again sent to both
the plunger (1) and +
shoulder of the needle
(2)
-
• The greater surface
area of the plunger (1)
results in more
hydraulic force
keeping the injector in
the closed position
until the ECM 1
determines fueling is
again needed
2
• Fuel System
cleanliness is very
important for High +
Pressure Common Rail
Systems
-
• Contaminants can
lodge in the small
passages in the injector
preventing critical flows
• If the contaminate
particle lodges in the
passage to the plunger
area
•The result is the injector
will remain in the open
position and cause
engine damage due to
uncontrolled fueling of
the cylinder
Fuel Injector / Connector
 The high-pressure connector and injector
must be replaced if failure is observed
• The high-pressure connector should be
replaced anytime the injector is replaced
 Be sure not to over torque the connector
retaining nut. Over torquing the retaining
nut may cause the connector to rotate
out of the connector retaining slot.
High Pressure Connector
High Pressure Supply Lines
Designed to withstand the 1600

bar fuel pressure and system
pressure pulsations
Important to follow the

installation procedure in the
manual to prevent fuel line
failure
If a leak is suspected never use

your hand to find the leak …
use paper or cardboard
Fuel Injector Supply Lines
Injector supply lines designed for
the 1600 Bar fuel rail pressure
 No isolators or external supports
 Injector supply line torque value
is critical
 A crow's foot and socket

extension may be required to
remove and install the fuel line
fitting to the fuel connector.
 Anytime a high pressure
injector supply line is removed
from the engine, the fuel
connector nut at the cylinder
head must be re-torqued.

terminal nuts can result in
injector solenoid damage
The solenoid is not a
serviceable part
Fuel Connector Remover
 Used to remove high

pressure connectors from the
cylinder head
 Prevents damage to
connector bore and connector
from improvised tools
 Should be cleaned with
contact cleaner prior to use to
prevent high pressure fuel
system contamination
Using The New Tools
Three return flows

 Injector Return
 High Pressure Pump Return
 High Pressure Relief valve Return
Isolating the flows with the allows us to determine which component is

has excessive leakage. Excessive leakage can cause:
 Hard or no start conditions
 Low power with fault codes indicating low rail pressure
Unlike previous ISB engines there is no manifold. The new tools allow the
leakage readings to be taken (same concept … different method)

Fan Belt Tensioner
 Provides automatic
tension of the water pump
and accessory drive belt
 In most applications the

tensioner also changes the
angle of the belt to increase
belt “wrap” on a drive pulley
Thermostat

Coolant Heater
Two coolant heater options are

available
 Threaded coolant heater
• Located adjacent to the oil
cooler
 Flange mounted coolant heater
• Located in the last large cup
plug hole at the rear of the
engine on the exhaust side
Air Intake System
Specifications
 Maximum Intake Restriction (clean air filter element) 254 mm H2O [10 in

H2O]
 Maximum Intake Restriction (dirty air filter element) 635 mm H2O [25 in
H2O]
 Charge Air Cooler Temperature Differential: - Minimum Differential
(Intake manifold - Ambient air temperature) 21°C [38°F]
 Maximum Charge Air Cooler Pressure Difference 20.6 kPa [3 psi]
Intake Air Heater Operation
 An electric Pre-heat grid type air intake heater is optional

on the Tier 3 QSB engines. Installation requirements for the
grid heater will be covered in the Electronic Subsystem
Technical Package AEB 15.60, OEM Components. Intake Air
Heater (or Grid Heaters) aid starting during cold ambient
conditions. There are two phases of intake air heater
operation:
 Pre-heat (after key-on and before cranking)
 Post-heat (just after a successful engine start)
 There is no heat during cranking.
 A “Wait to Start” lamp is also controlled by the ECM and is
illuminated to indicate that it is not the optimal time to crank
the engine. This will not prohibit the engine from starting.
Turbocharger
 Holset Turbo
 Wastegated & non-
wastegated versions
 Similar to many other
Cummins applications
 Fixed Housings (Cannot
be rotated in field for
Service)
Exhaust System
