What Is CUMMINS: Core Product Lines for Power Generation
CUMMINS’ core power generation business focuses on diesel and gas generators, engine components, and power system integration for commercial and industrial clients. Below is the most common question we receive about CUMMINS product lines:

Essential Maintenance Best Practices for CUMMINS Generators
Proper maintenance is critical to extend the lifespan of your CUMMINS generator and avoid unexpected downtime. The most common question we get about maintenance is:
Q: How often should I service my CUMMINS standby generator?
A: The industry consensus is that standby CUMMINS generators should receive a full professional inspection every 6 months, and an oil and filter change every 250 operating hours or 12 months, whichever comes first. In practice, we recommend adding a monthly 30-minute load test to prevent wet stacking and ensure the unit is ready to start when needed.
