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 15ppm/ 15 mg/kg sulfur content) in this unit.
Operating with higher sulfur content will damage the engine and aftertreatment device.
IMPORTANT: Fuel sulfur content should be less than 5000 ppm (5000 mg/kg). Worldwide, fuel sulfur
regulations vary widely. Fuel used should always comply with local regulations. If using fuel with sulfur
content above 5000 ppm (5000 mg/kg), reduce oil change interval by half.
