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

™
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.
