Recommended Lubricants/Service Key
Approved Coolant
This unit was filled with coolant meeting Deutz
®
DQC CB-14 before shipment from factory. Add or replace
only with coolant meeting this specification. This coolant is available, pre-diluted, from your Ditch Witch
dealer as part number 255-1053. Contact your Deutz service partner for a full list of approved coolants
meeting DQC CB-14. In an emergency, non-Deutz approved, heavy duty diesel engine coolant meeting
ASTM D6210 may be used. Change to DQC CB-14 coolant as soon as practical.
Approved Fuel
Tier 4 Engine (U.S., Canada, EU, and Japan)
This engine 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 the 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. In certain markets, higher blends may be used if certain steps
are taken. 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 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 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 aftertreatment device.
