[SV16625( ALL)03/95]
NOTE: Idling the engine for extended periods
will accumulate more hours of use on
your vehicles than is actually indicated
by the mileage odometer.
Consequently, the odometer reading
can be often misleading when
determining the right time to change
your engine oil and filter.
*
[SV16650(BEF )03/95]
If you are using your Ford vehicle in a manner
which allows it to remain stationary while the
engine is running for long periods (door to door
delivery, taxi, police, power/utility company
trucks, or similar duty), then Ford recommends
you increase the frequency of oil and filter
changes to an interval equivalent to 200
ENGINE HOURS of use. Since most vehicles are
not equipped with hourmeters, it may be
necessary for you to approximate your idle time
and plan oil/filter changes accordingly.
*
[SV16800( ALL)04/95]
Refer to theMaintenance Schedule and Record
booklet for additional information.

[SV17250( ALL)04/95]
NOTE: Always dispose of used automotive
fluids in a responsible manner. Follow
your community's standards for
disposing of these types of fluids. Call
your local recycling center to find out
about recycling automotive fluids.

RWARNING
Continuous contact with USED motor oil
has caused cancer in laboratory mice.

305 [SV26435( ALL)05/95]
Whenever a wheel is removed and then
re-installed, always remove any corrosion that
may be present on the mounting surface of the
wheel and/or the surface of the hub, drum or
rotor that contacts the wheel.
*
[SV26440( ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Installing wheels without good
metal-to-metal contact at the wheel
mounting surface can cause the wheel lug
nuts to loosen and could allow the wheel
to come off while the vehicle is in motion.
*
[SV26450(BEF )03/95]
Traction-Lok Rear Axle (If equipped)
*
[SV26460(BEF )03/95]
This axle provides added drive away traction on
slippery surfaces, particularly when one or more
wheels are on a surface with poor traction.
*
[SV26470(BEF )05/95]
RWARNING
To avoid injury, never run the engine
with one wheel off the ground, such as
when changing a tire.
%*
[SV26500( ALL)02/95]
Tire Rotation
*
[SV26600( ALL)03/95]
Because your vehicle's front and rear tires
perform different jobs, they often wear
differently. To make sure your tires wear evenly
and last longer, rotate them at the mileage
shown in theMaintenance Schedule and Record
booklet which came with your vehicle.
*
[SV26700(BEF )07/92]
Rotate the tires according to the following
diagram. If you notice that the tires wear
unevenly, have them checked. If your light truck
has a temporary spare tire, do not include it in
the tire rotation pattern.

Brake Fluid
*
[SV36350( ALL)05/90]
Your vehicle is equipped with a brake fluid level
indicator in the master cylinder which lights the
BRAKE warning light on the instrument panel
when the brake fluid level is low.
*
[SV36400( ALL)04/95]
Under normal circumstances, your vehicle
should not use up brake fluid rapidly. However,
expect the level of the brake fluid to slowly fall
as you put more mileage on your vehicle and
the brake lining wears.
*
[SV36500( ALL)10/89]
Check the brake fluid at least once a year. You
can do this by looking at the fluid level in the
plastic reservoir on the master cylinder. The
fluid level should be at or near the MAX mark.
*
[SV36550( ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Brake fluid is toxic.
*
[SV36560( ALL)05/95]
If brake fluid contacts eyes, flush eyes with
running water for 15 minutes. Get medical
attention if irritation persists. If taken internally,
drink water and induce vomiting. Get medical
attention immediately.
