2000 FORD F650 steering wheel

Cleaning non-painted plastic exterior parts
Use vinyl cleaner for routine cleaning. Clean with a tar remover if
necessary. Do not clean plastic parts with thinners, solvents or
petroleum-based cleaners.
Cleaning the exterior lamps
Wash with the same detergent as the exterior of your vehicle. If
necessary, use a tar remover such as Ford Extra Strength Tar and Road
Oil Remover (B7A-19520–AA).
To avoid scratching the lamps, do not use a dry paper towel, chemical
solvents or abrasive cleaners.
Cleaning the wiper blades, windshield and rear window
If the wiper blades do not wipe properly, clean the wiper blade rubber
element with undiluted windshield washer solution or a mild detergent.
To avoid damaging the blades, do not use fuel, kerosene, paint thinner or
other solvents.
If the wiper still does not wipe properly, this could be caused by
substances on the windshield or rear window such as tree sap and some
hot wax treatments used by commercial car washes. Clean the outside of
the windshield or rear window with a non-abrasive cleaner such as Ford
Ultra-Clear Spray Glass Cleaner, (E4AZ-19C507–AA), available from your
Ford Dealer.Do notuse abrasive cleansers on glass as they may cause
scratches. The windshield or rear window is clean if beads do not form
when you rinse it with water. The windshield, rear window and wiper
blades should be cleaned on a regular basis, and blades or rubber
elements replaced when worn.
Cleaning the instrument panel
Clean with a damp cloth, then dry with a dry cloth.
Avoid cleaner or polish that increases the gloss of the upper portion of
the instrument panel. The dull finish in this area helps protect the driver
from undesirable windshield reflection.
Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents when cleaning
the steering wheel or instrument panel to avoid contamination of
the air bag system.

intervals are as
follows: Powerstroke -
10 000 ; Caterpillar -
10 000 ; Cummins -
15 000 (refer to the
Caterpillar and
Cummins service
manuals for further
instructions and
information)Steering system
Lubricate the steering shaft(s), U-joints and
splines when equipped with grease fittings
Lubricate the front axle spindle pins
Lubricate the steering linkage when equipped
with grease fittings
Grease the power steering gear output shaft
* Coolant protection checks should be made just prior to the onset of
freezing weather, where applicable. If coolant is dirty or rusty in
appearance, the system should be drained, flushed and refilled with the
prescribed solution of cooling system fluid and water. Use only
permanent type coolant that meets Ford specifications ESE-M97B18-C.
See the engine manufacturer’s operating guide for supplimental
corrosion inhibitor specifications.
In addition to the items to be performed daily or at each oil change, the
following need to be completed as specified:
5 000 MILES
•Initial change—change the lubricant in the manual shift transmission
–5 speed and 6 speed Eaton manual transmission. (Not required
when equipped with optional synthetic lubricant.)
20 000 MILES
•Replace the fuel filter.*
30 000 MILES
•Replace the engine spin-on coolant filter.*
•Repack and adjust the front wheel bearings—grease-filled hubs.
40 000 MILES
•Replace the fuel filter.*

50 000 MILES
•Disassemble the single check valve (SC-2) and the automatic drain
valve (DB–2)—clean and inspect the valve for wear and
deterioration.
60 000 MILES
•Replace the engine spin-on coolant filter.*
•Oil filled front hubs—drain oil, adjust bearings and refill the front
hubs with oil. (Not required when equipped with optional synthetic
lubricant.)
•Drain the oil, adjust the bearins and refill with axle lubricant—oil
filled hubs.
•Replace the fuel filter.*
•Change the manual transmission oil—Eaton 5 and 6 speeds only.
(Not required when equipped with optional synthetic lubricant.)
