Follow all the important safety restraint precautions that apply to adult passengers in your vehicle. If the shoulder belt portion of a combination lap and shoulder belt can be positioned so it does not cross or rest in front of the child’ s face or neck, the child should wear the lap and shoulder belt.
• Can the child sit all the way back against the vehicle seat back with knees bent comfortably at the edge of the seat without slouching? • Does the lap belt rest low across the hips? • Is the s.
The shoulder belt should cross the chest, resting snugly on the center of the shoulder . The lap belt should rest low and snug across the hips, never up high across the stomach. If the booster seat slides on the vehicle seat, placing a rubberized mesh sold as shelf or carpet liner under the booster seat may improve this condition.
When installing a child safety seat: • Use the correct safety belt buckle for that seating position. • Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle until you hear a snap and feel it latch.
Installing child safety seats with combination lap and shoulder belts 1. Position the child safety seat in a seat with a combination lap and shoulder belt. Children under 12 are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat, to the extent this is possible.
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.

a buildup of heavy deposits of carbon and rust on valve stems causing them to stick which, in turn, can cause valvetrain damage. The following cold weather idling guidelines must be followed: • A void idling the engine for more than 10 minutes at a time.
disengage the clutch and try to increase engine RPM as this may damage driveline components. The engine will recover as the vehicle begins moving. Engine shutdown Allow the engine to idle for three to five minutes before shutting it down. The larger the engine, the greater the need for this idling period.
Backing up T o reduce the risk of the possibility of personal injury while backing the vehicle, always be sure your vehicle’ s path is clear . Before backing your vehicle, be sure you can do so safely . If anything behind the cab limits your view , do not rely on mirrors alone to ensure that your intended path is clear .
ENGINE AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN WARNING LIGHT OR CHIME (IF EQUIPPED) Y our vehicle may be equipped with an automatic shutdown feature that stops the engine in the event of high coolant temperature, low engine oil pressure or low engine coolant level.
road dust, salt or mud. If a “metal-to-metal,” “continuous grinding” or “continuous squeal” sound is present while braking, the brake linings may be worn-out and should be inspected by a qualified service technician. Know the required stopping distances for all driving conditions that may be encountered.
The reserve system provides reduced braking power , so the vehicle should be operated under these conditions with caution, and only to seek service repair and remove the vehicle from the roadway .
Parking brake Apply the parking brake whenever the vehicle is parked. T o set the parking brake, pull handle up until it snaps into the locked position.
Push the palm release lever on the parking brake handle and push down as far as possible to release the brake. Driving with the parking brake on will cause the brakes to wear out quickly and reduce fuel economy . If the parking brake is fully released but the parking brake warning lamp remains illuminated, the brakes may not be working properly .
Releasing the parking brake Note: Read and understand the following steps and perform them whenever you prepare to drive the vehicle. Note: The parking brake will not disengage unless sufficient system air pressure is available.
yellow control knob is pulled out again, the light will blink and the chime will sound as a reminder that immediate service is required to the parking brake system. Releasing spring manually Do not attempt to disassemble the parking brake chamber under any circumstances.
AIR BRAKES (IF EQUIPPED) General air brake information After starting the engine, give the air compressor time to build up the air pressure to 60 psi (414 kPa) before moving the vehicle. Do not drive or continue to drive if the low air pressure buzzer is sounding or the brake warning light is lit.
Air chamber stroke indication Air chamber push rods have orange stroke indicator stripes that alert the operator when the braking system requires adjustment or repair . The orange stripe is painted on the air chamber push rod at the slack adjuster readjustment stroke dimension.
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 .

The exhaust brake is a butterfly type valve mounted in the exhaust pipe. When the operator’ s foot is not on the accelerator pedal and the exhaust brake switch is in the ON position, an air cylinder shuts the butterfly valve, restricting the flow of exhaust gases and retarding the engine.
Note: Maximum exhaust brake performance is related to the type of transmission your vehicle is equipped with. Note: Manual transmissions should be downshifted to the lowest gear possible, without exceeding the maximum RPM limit of the engine. This will maximize the exhaust brake’ s retarding effect.
• Depending on the grade and vehicle load, you may or may not feel the retarding force acting against your body when the brake is applied. The brake’ s retarding force is actually preventing the vehicle from going much faster .
T o apply the trailer brakes using the hand control, move the lever downward. The further the lever is pushed downward, the greater the air pressure is applied to the brakes. The lever will remain in place until manually moved. T o release the trailer brakes, move the lever upward completely .
Initial charge W ith the air system completely discharged, both knobs (1 and 2) will be out. When the air pressure reaches 70 psi (483 kPa) the trailer air supply (1 – red knob) may be pushed in and should stay in charging the trailer air system and releasing the trailer brakes.
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 .
T railer charge If both knobs are out, and you want to recharge the trailer while leaving the tractor spring brakes applied, the trailer air supply (1) can be pushed in to recharge the trailer air supply line. This mode may also be used to park a combination vehicle with tractor spring brakes.
Actuation of trailer park (emergency) or tractor bobtail position T o actuate the trailer brakes only , pull out the trailer air supply knob (1). The trailer brakes are now applied whether emergency or spring brakes are used on the trailer . This mode is also used when the tractor or truck with trailer is used during bobtail operation.
illuminate momentarily at start up, remains on after the vehicle reaches 5–10 mph (10–15 km/h), or continues to flash, the ABS needs to be serviced. W ith the ABS light on, the anti-lock brake system is disabled and normal braking is still effective unless the brake warning light also remains illuminated.
If you should become stuck in snow or ice or on a very slippery road surface, try switching the T raction Control 娂 system off. This may allow excess wheel spin to “dig” the vehicle out and enable a successful “rocking” maneuver .
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.
Always set the parking brake fully . Do not use the gearshift in place of the parking brake. T o avoid sudden, unexpected vehicle movement and possible personal injury or death: 1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop. 2. Shift the transmission into P (Park).
