from factory. Add only John Deere Cool-Gard (p/n 255-006) or any fully-formulated, ethylene glycol based,
low-silicate, heavy-duty diesel engine coolant meeting ASTM specification D6210. Switch to the new
approved red coolant described above at the next change interval.
Approved Fuel
The engine is this unit is designed to run on diesel fuel. Use only high-quality fuel meeting ASTM D975 No.
2D, EN590, or equivalent. At temperatures below 32°F (0°C), winter fuel blends are acceptable. See
engine operation manual for more information.
Biodiesel blends up to 5% (B5) are approved for use in this unit. The fuel used must meet the
specifications for diesel fuel shown above. Extra attention is needed when using biodiesel, especially when
operating in cold weather or storing fuel. Contact your Ditch Witch
®
dealer or the engine manufacturer for
more information.
NOTICE:
• Use only pre-diluted 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 coolant. This will lead to coolant
breakdown and engine damage.
Avoid static electricity when fueling. Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD)
poses a greater static ignition hazard than earlier diesel formulations. Avoid death or
serious injury from fire or explosion. Consult with your fuel system supplier to ensure the
delivery system is in compliance with fueling standards for proper grounding and bonding
practices.
NOTICE: Use only Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (less than 15 ppm (15 mg/kg) sulfur content) in this unit.
Operating with higher sulfur content will damage the engine and after treatment device.
