SAFETY RESTRAINTS FOR CHILDREN Important child restraint precautions Y ou are required by law to use safety restraints for children in the U.S. and Canada. If small children (generally children who are four years old or younger and who weigh 40 lb.
Safety belts and seats can become hot in a vehicle that has been closed up in sunny weather; they could burn a small child. Check seat covers and buckles before you place a child anywhere near them. Child booster seats Children outgrow a typical convertible or toddler seat when they weigh 40 lb.
T ypes of booster seats There are two types of belt-positioning booster seats: • Those that are backless. If your backless booster seat has a removable shield, remove the shield and use the lap/shoulder belt.
Follow all instructions provided by the manufacturer of the booster seat. Never put the shoulder belt under a child’ s arm or behind the back because it eliminates the protection for the upper part of the body and may increase the risk of injury or death in a collision.
Ford recommends the use of a child safety seat having a top tether strap. Install the child safety seat in a seating position with a tether anchor . For more information on top tether straps and anchors, refer to Attaching safety seats with tether straps.
3. Buckle the seat belt. Push down on the child seat and pull on the shoulder portion of the belt to snug the lap belt. Hold the lap and shoulder belts next to the tongue and unbuckle the belt. 4. Install a locking clip over both lap and shoulder belt portions next to the sliding tongue.
Attaching safety seats with tether straps Most forward-facing child safety seats include a tether strap which goes over the back of the seat and hooks to an anchoring point. The F-650/750 vehicles are not equipped with an anchoring point. T ether straps are available as an accessory for many older safety seats.

GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS • A void extended and unnecessary idling. • Start the vehicle in motion by using the highest gear speed in the transmission that will let the engine easily start the load without slipping the clutch.
get out of the vehicle and visually check the intended path is clear; back-up slowly as to allow others time to move, if necessary . If an electrical back-up alarm is installed, it should be connected to the back-up lamp circuit. Parking your vehicle Always use the parking brake.
If the engine shuts down, it can be restarted and operated for 30 seconds at a time or until the problem is corrected. Do not attempt to use this restarting feature to drive the vehicle very far as serious engine damage could result.
If brakes do not grip well • If you have been driving through deep water , gently apply the brakes several times while the vehicle is moving slowly . • Let the brakes cool if you have been using them excessively , as in mountain driving or after several fast, high speed stops.
If the yellow BRAKE RESERVE (E-motor) warning light remains on while the engine is running, this indicates inadequate hydraulic booster pressure or reserve pump system failure. Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible and seek service immediately .
The parking BRAKE warning lamp in the instrument cluster illuminates and will remain illuminated (when the ignition is turned on) until the parking brake is released. Push the palm release lever on the parking brake handle and push down as far as possible to release the brake.
Applying the parking brake T o apply the parking brake, pull the yellow , dash-mounted parking brake knob. A red light on the dash panel should illuminate indicating that the parking brake has been successfully set.
If the parking brake is applied due to low air pressure, immediate service is required to the parking brake system. Parking brake warning system If the park brake light blinks and a chime sounds when pulling the yellow control knob out, this indicates the parking brake is not functioning properly; seek service for the parking brake immediately .
Loosen the jam nut (1) and un-thread the adjustment rod (2) from the chamber to reduce tension on the cable (3). Continue to un-thread the adjustment rod all the way and remove it from the chamber .
Periodically check the air pressure gauge while driving. Pressure should range between approximately 100–125 psi (690–862 kPa). The air compressor governor cut-in and cut-out pressure settings are preset at the factory and are not adjustable.
Cam brakes - automatic slack adjusters Standard air brakes (cam) are equipped with automatic brake adjusters. Automatic adjustment occurs during brake applications. Inspect brakes for proper adjustment at the intervals listed in the Scheduled Maintenance Guide chapter .
Drain all the air brake reservoirs daily , completely to 0 psi/kPa, by opening the draincock at the ends of the tanks (where accessible. Pull-chains are used when the drains are undercab or otherwise inaccessible). Close draincock after complete draining.
Parking brake control (knob) Pull the yellow parking brake knob out to apply the parking brake. Push the knob in to release the parking brake. This control is used for parking only .

Note: Engine speed has a major influence of retarding performance. When engine speed is maintained at the maximum allowable level, the exhaust brake will operate at peak performance. The exhaust brake is not recommended for use on slippery or low traction road surfaces.
Note: Installing an exhaust or auxiliary brake does not necessarily protect the engine from exceeding maximum governed speed. The primary brakes should be used to never allow the engine to exceed maximum governed speed under any conditions.
T RAILER AIR SUPPLY AND PARKING BRAKE MODULAR CONTROLS (IF EQUIPPED) The trailer air supply valve delivers air to the trailer supply and will automatically pop out, shutting off the trailer supply if pressure is decreased to approximately 35 psi (249 kPa).
The parking brake (2–yellow knob) can now be pushed in and supply air to the tractor spring brakes, releasing them. Normal driving position W ith both knobs pushed in, air is then supplied to both trailer and tractor spring brakes, and all brakes are released.
System park W ith both knobs pushed in (normal driving position), the parking brakes for both the tractor and trailer can be applied by pulling the parking brake knob (2) out, exhausting air from the tractor spring brakes, simultaneously causing the trailer air supply valve to pop out, applying the trailer brakes.
Automatic application If both knobs are pushed in and the brake system air pressure is reduced to approximately 35 psi (249 kPa), the trailer air supply (1) knob will automatically pop out applying the emergency or parking brakes on the trailer .
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) A noise from the hydraulic pump motor and pulsation in the pedal may be observed during ABS braking events. Pedal pulsation coupled with noise while braking under panic conditions or on loose gravel, bumps, wet or snowy roads is normal and indicates proper functioning of the vehicle’ s ABS.
• W e recommend that you familiarize yourself with this braking technique. However , avoid taking any unnecessary risks. T RACTION CONTROL 姟 (IF EQUIPPED) Y our vehicle may be equipped with a T raction Control 娂 system.
Aggressive driving in any road conditions can cause you to lose control of your vehicle increasing the risk of severe personal injury or property damage.
T ractor-trailer connections T o reduce the risk of personal injury , use extreme caution when making brake and light connections. Inclement weather and accumulated road contamination deposits on handhold and stepping surfaces require extra care to avoid slip and falls.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OPERATION (IF EQUIPPED) Main transmission, auxiliary transmission, transfer case and power take-off (PTO) control shift patterns can be found on a placard or decal on the driver’ s sun visor , on the instrument panel or on the shift control itself.
Allison 2500 This transmission is available with a column-mounted gearshift lever . The gear positions are displayed on the RNDL in the instrument cluster . T o avoid sudden, unexpected vehicle movement and possible personal injury or death: 1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.

and seals, requiring axle lubrication changes to become more frequent to preserve the axle. Extreme Pressure (EP) lubricants should not be run consistently above 230°F (110°C). Gross axle weight Y our truck has gross axle weight, gross vehicle weight and gross combination weight ratings.
Some Dana/Spicer drive axles have a driver -controlled differential lock. The differential lock can lock or unlock the differential when the vehicle is moving or stopped. When extra traction is required, the differential lock will provide full power to both axles.
These ranges can also be used to provide additional steps between transmission shifts when driving on steep grades and/or fuel economy may be factors. Note: Do not shift between ranges when the speed control is on. Never shift a two-speed axle when descending a steep grade as this may cause loss of vehicle control and result in personal injury .
Shifting the axle from HI to LO range - vehicle stopped Place the transmission in N (Neutral), then press the upper part of the switch. Note: Do not shift the axle to LO range with the vehicle in motion.
MAXIMUM VEHICLE LOADING Every vehicle manufactured by Ford Motor Company is supplied with information on the Safety Compliance Certification Label, located on either the B-pillar or the driver’ s door edge, listing the maximum loading for the vehicle (GVWR), and its axle systems (GA WR) at the tire to ground interface.
When operating empty or lightly loaded, sudden or hard braking may induce wheel lockup with loss of vehicle control and the possibility of accident and serious injury , especially on wet or slippery road surfaces.
Safety chains Always connect the trailer’ s safety chains to the frame or hook retainers of the vehicle hitch. T o connect the trailer’ s safety chains, cross the chains under the trailer tongue and allow slack for turning corners. If you use a rental trailer , follow the instructions that the rental agency gives to you.
T railer towing tips • Practice turning, stopping and backing up before starting on a trip to get the feel of the vehicle trailer combination. When turning, make wider turns so the trailer wheels will clear curbs and other obstacles. • Allow more distance for stopping with a trailer attached.
Before hook-up, make sure: • The fifth wheel jaws are fully opened. • The fifth wheel is fully tilted back to prevent body damage when the tractor is backed under a trailer . • The trailer wheels are blocked and the trailer spring brakes are adjusted and applied.
5. Disconnect the brake hoses and light cords. Be sure hoses and cords are clear . 6. Pull coupler release lever to disengage the fifth wheel jaws. 7. Release the tractor parking brakes. 8. Pull out from the trailer slowly , allowing the landing gear to take the load gradually .

Improper or incomplete service could result in the vehicle not working properly which, in turn, may result in personal injury or damage to the vehicle or equipment.
vehicle at least once a year . Remember that regular maintenance and replacement of worn components will usually prevent serious problems from developing later .
Check to make sure that the axle mounting U-bolt nuts, attaching or mounting bolts and nuts are securely tightened. Regularly check front axle for damage, binding, worn parts and adequate lubrication. At regular intervals, or during other scheduled maintenance, (tire rotation/service, wheel bearing service, alignment, etc.
non-asbestos, fiberglass, mineral wool, aramid or carbon) may be a potentially serious health hazard. Note: Persons handling brake linings should follow all precautions listed below: 1.
on original equipment chambers now incorporate a stroke indicator to aid in adjustment checks; an orange paint marker near the base of the push rod. If the push rod is clean and the brakes are out of adjustment, the orange marker can be seen protruding from the chamber when the brakes are applied.
Air brakes - air dryer Performance of desiccant or after -cooler type air dryers is dependent on climatic conditions in which your vehicle is operating. Maintenance schedules must be established for each specific operation. The use of an air dryer on a vehicle does not eliminate the need to periodically drain the air reservoirs.
Note: If brake fluid requires attention to maintain a proper master cylinder level, this is an indication of either severe operation (pad wear) or fluid system leakage.
functioning of the catalytic converter . Also, take precautions not to damage the catalytic converter when servicing your engine or storing your vehicle. Note: If your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic converter/muffler , do not blend waste oil with Diesel fuel.
• Maintain proper steering gear and power steering pump lubricant levels. • Regularly inspect steering column joint bolts and steering linkage, particularly for body-to-chassis clearance. Note: Have any steering problems corrected at once by a qualified service technician.
T o open the hood: 1. Set the parking brake, shift into N (Neutral) (automatic transmission) or 1 (First) (manual transmission) and turn the engine off. 2. Lift upward on the bottom of each latch. 3. Pull the bottom of each latch away from the fender .
T o lower the hood: 1. Push the hood rearward at the top center of the hood above the grille until closed. 2. Engage the latch on each fender . 3. Push down on the bottom of each latch until locked. WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID The reservoir capacity is 4.
CHANGING THE WIPER BLADES T o replace the wiper blades: 1. Pull the wiper arm away from the windshield and lock into the service position. 2. T urn the blade at an angle from the wiper arm. Push the lock pin manually to release the blade and pull the wiper blade down toward the windshield to remove it from the arm.
• Battery tray with cover removed. Maintenance-free batteries do not normally require adding additional water . Make sure the battery cover/shield is reinstalled after the battery has been cleaned or replaced. For longer , trouble-free operation, keep the top of the batteries clean and dry .
Keep batteries out of reach of children. Batteries contain sulfuric acid. A void contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Shield your eyes when working near the battery to protect against possible splashing of acid solution.
If you drive in extremely hot climates: • It is still necessary to maintain the coolant concentration above 40%. • NEVER decrease the coolant concentration below 40%. • Engine coolant concentrations below 40% will decrease the corrosion protection characteristics of the engine coolant and may cause engine damage.
FUEL INFORMATION Important safety precautions Do not overfill the fuel tank. The pressure in an overfilled tank may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray and fire. The fuel system may be under pressure. If the fuel cap is venting vapor or if you hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops before completely removing the cap.
If you must replace the fuel filler cap, replace it with a genuine Ford or Motorcraft part. The customer warranty may be void for any damage to the fuel tank or fuel system if a genuine Ford or Motorcraft fuel filler cap is not used.
Using low sulfur (16-500 ppm) or high sulfur (greater than 500 ppm) diesel fuel in a diesel engine designed to use only Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel increases the likelihood of engine oil dilution with fuel which may lead to major engine damage.
Running out of fuel A void running out of fuel as this will allow air to enter the fuel system, which will make restarting the vehicle difficult. If you have run out of fuel: • If your vehicle is equipped with dual fuel tanks, add at least 4–5 gallons (15–19 liters) of fuel to each tank before attempting to restart the engine.
Essentials of good fuel economy Measuring techniques Y our best source of information about actual fuel economy is you, the driver . Y ou must gather information as accurately and consistently as possible. Fuel expense, frequency of fill-ups or fuel gauge readings are NOT accurate as a measure of fuel economy .
Calculating fuel economy 1. Fill the fuel tank(s) completely and record the initial odometer reading (in miles or kilometers). 2. Each time you fill the tank(s), record the amount of fuel added (in gallons or liters). 3. After at least three to five tank fill-ups, fill the fuel tank(s) and record the current odometer reading.
Conditions • Carrying unnecessary weight may reduce fuel economy . • Fuel economy may decrease with lower temperatures during the first 8–10 miles (12–16 km) of driving.
Diesel particulate filter regeneration (Cummins engine only) Under most operating conditions, DPF regeneration will be transparent to the operator . A small increase in engine/turbo sound-level is normal during filter regeneration.
Instrument cluster lamp(s) will illuminate and/or flash when operator assistance is required. In addition, engine performance will become increasingly limited above Level 1. At Levels 1 and 2, two courses of action may be taken by the operator to facilitate filter regeneration: 1.
When these steps are performed successfully in the order outlined above, the DPF lamp will begin flashing at a rate of once every 10 seconds. The engine speed may also increase slightly . T o allow parked regeneration to continue uninterrupted: 1. The vehicle must remain parked 2.
The exhaust outlet assembly on your vehicle is a uniquely functioning device that accompanies the DPF assembly . It is designed to help control the temperature of the exhaust during the DPF regeneration process.
• Check for proper operation of radiator shutters, if equipped. The shutters should be open during normal operating temperatures. Engine and Driveline System • T ransmission Enclosure: inspect for cracks, holes, and tears. Clean any deposits such as oil, dirt, and stones.
• If the fluid temperature is at approximately 68°-120°F (20°-49°C) ( fluid cool or warm to the touch ), check the COLD side of the dipstick. The fluid level should be within the FULL range • If the fluid level is below the ADD line, add fluid in small amounts, continuously checking the level until it reaches the proper level.
BRAKE FLUID Check and refill the HydroMax brake fluid reservoir using the following procedure. Refer to the Scheduled Maintenance Guide chapter for the service interval. 1. Clean the reservoir caps before removal to prevent dirt or water from entering the reservoir .
Use only a DOT 3 brake fluid designed to meet manufacturer specifications. Refer to Lubricant specifications in this chapter . Carefully read cautionary information on product label. For MEDICAL EMERGENCY INFORMA TION, contact a physician or Poison Control Center immediately; on Ford-Motorcraft products call: 1-800-959-3673 (FORD).
• T ransmission and clutch removed for clarity . 3. W ith a grease gun, lubricate the clutch release bearing (at one location) and the clutch release shaft (at two locations) using the grease fittings provided. 4. Lubricate clutch release wear pads at the two locations where they contact the clutch release bearing using a brush or similar tool.
3. W ith the parking brake engaged and your foot on the brake pedal, start the engine and move the gearshift lever through all of the gear ranges. Allow sufficient time for each gear to engage. 4. Place the gearshift lever in N (Neutral) or P (Park) and leave the engine running.
Drain and refill your transmission fluid using the following procedure: 1. Drain the transmission while the fluid is warm. 2. Park the vehicle on level ground. 3. Set the parking brake and shift into 1 (First) and turn the engine off. 4. Clean any dirt from around the filler and drain plugs.
such as the fuel sender , cranking motor , alternator and feed-through studs should be cleaned and re-coated with a lubricant sealing grease such as Motorcraft Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectic Compound XG-3, or equivalent. This should include the ground cable connector for batteries, engine and cab as well as the jump starting stud.
Supporting your vehicle for service When performing service repairs on your vehicle, first prepare the vehicle by doing the following: 1. Park the vehicle on a level concrete floor . 2. Set the parking brake and block the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving.
Air suspension U-bolt checks and re-torquing procedures 1. Inspect the threads of the U-bolt and nut for rust and debris. Clean the threads if contaminated. 2. Using a torque wrench, determine if any nuts can be turned with a force below the specified torque.
Y our rear axle may be filled with an optional synthetic lubricant which allows the use of extended service intervals. A tag on the filler plug will identify the use of the synthetic lubricant. Use only a lubricant that meets manufacturer specifications (refer to Lubricant specifications in this chapter).
When installing wheel balance weights, they must be mounted on the dome-side of the wheel only . Failure to do so may result in loss of wheel weight and/or damage to brakes or wheels. Important: Remember to replace the wheel air valves when the road tires are replaced at the end of their useful life.
Use the following installation procedure: 1. Slide inner rear or front tire and wheel in position over studs and push it back as far as possible. Use care so that the threads on studs are not damaged. Disc wheel with flange nuts (hub-piloted) Front wheel mounting of flange nut system 1.
Aluminum rear disc wheel with flange nuts (hub-piloted) 1. Flange nut 2. Wheel(s) 3. Brake drum 4. Wheel stud (22 mm) 5. Wheel hub 6. Wheel locator pad Note for aluminum wheels: Prior to re-installing rear aluminum hub-piloted wheels, clean each wheel locator pad on the hub from all dirt, rust and foreign material.
Wheel tightening sequence: 8–lug wheel 10–lug wheel 5. Continue tightening the nuts to the torque specifications in the torque chart using the same crisscross sequence shown. 6. After operating the vehicle approximately 50 miles (80 km), check the nuts for tightness.
Use only the same type and style wheels and mounting hardware to replace original parts. Failure to do so may result in an assembly that looks fine, but does not fit together properly . This could possibly cause wheel or fastener failures which could result in property damage, personal injury or death.
T o avoid personal injury or death, always follow these instructions when mounting radial tires on wheels: • Only personnel that have had proper training and experience should mount or remove tires from rims or wheels. • Use only heavy-duty rims or approved rims for radial tires.
All tires with Steel Carcass Plies (if equipped): This type of tire utilizes steel cords in the sidewalls. As such, they cannot be treated like normal light truck tires.
Stay out of the trajectory (1) as indicated in the illustration. Do not mount tube type tires on tubeless wheels or tubeless tires on tube type wheels. T o do so could result in tire or wheel failure and cause property damage, personal injury or death.
T ires should be properly inflated to manufacturers recommended pressure for the size and service load in which the vehicle is being used. Refer to the tire manufacturer in which your vehicle is equipped for the latest information concerning service load and inflation pressure.
Loads Loading tires beyond their rated capacity decreases tire life requiring more frequent replacement of tires. Overloading creates an unsafe condition that may result in sudden air loss from a tire failure resulting in an accident that could cause property damage, personal injury or death.
If rib tire is used on front axle and lug or off-road type on rear axle positions: 1. Front (Steering) Axle: Replace tires at front wheels when tread is worn to 4/32 inch (3 mm) or less. 2. Rear Axles: T ires must be removed when the tread is worn to 2/32 inch (2 mm) or less.
Rotating tires from one wheel position to another is a way often used to even out many types of irregular wear or to avoid it altogether . Some of the more effective tire rotation programs are: • Steer tires that have developed some type of irregular wear pattern can be rotated to drive axles if rib tires are being used on all wheel positions.
