This service parts topicinforms the field of new single-cylinder air compressors released by Cummins Engine Company,
tno. The new air compressors will be used in production on the following engine families: Signature/ISX, ISM, N14,
ISC, and ISB.
This service parts topic includes information on the following: Parts, fal codes, specifications, flow diagrams, installation
recommendations, and troubleshooting trees.
To identity the new Cummins air compressor, a large C is cast on the crankcase.
