follow these simple precautions:
*
[AS44560(MBC )08/95]
q
Using a Ford Cassette Cleaning Cartridge to
clean the tape player head after 10-12 hours
of play will help maintain the best playback
sound and proper tape operation.
*

Only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or
less should be used. Tapes longer than 90
minutes are thinner and subject to breakage
or may jam the tape player mechanism.
*
[AS44580(MBC )08/95]
q
Protect cassettes from exposure to direct
sunlight, high humidity and extreme heat or
cold. If they are exposed to extreme
conditions, allow them to reach a moderate
temperature before playing.
*
[AS44590(MBC )08/95]

Loose labels on cassette tapes can become
lodged in the mechanism. Remove any loose
label material before inserting cassette.

[DR08500(M )03/91]
eight pica chart:0010312-C[DR08800(M )03/95]
* In these gears, you may sometimes shift at
lower speeds than those we suggest to improve
fuel economy.
[DR08900(M )03/95]
Sometimes, you will upshift at higher speeds.
For example, you may want to stay in a lower
gear to gain more power for passing or for
climbing a hill. However, you must stay within
the allowable tachometer range when you
upshift or downshift. SeeTachometerin the
Index.
