Approved Coolant
This unit was filled with coolant meeting Cummins
®
CES 14603 (blue in color) before shipment from
factory. Add or replace only with coolant meeting this specification, such as Fleetguard
®
ES Compleat
™
coolant. This coolant is available, pre-diluted, from your Ditch Witch dealer as part number 255-1055.
Contact your Cummins service partner for a full list of approved coolants meeting
CES 14603. In an
emergency, non-Cummins approved, heavy duty diesel engine coolant meeting ASTM D6210 may be
used. Change to
CES 14603 coolant as soon as practical.
IMPORTANT: Use the “Service Record” on page 251 to record all required service to your machine.
NOTICE:
• Use only pre-diluted coolant or concentrated coolant mixed with distilled water. Do not use tap
water.
• Do not use water or high-silicate automotive-type coolant. This will lead to engine damage or
premature engine failure.
• Do not mix heavy-duty diesel engine coolant and automotive-type coolants. This will lead to coolant
breakdown and engine damage.
