Driver/Fuel area
Fuel tank:Make sure the fuel tank and caps are secure.
Make sure there is no damage to the tank.
Leaks:Check for any leaks from the fuel tanks.
Underbody of vehicle (rear of tractor)
Driveshaft:Make sure that the driveshaft is not bent or
cracked. Ensure all driveshaft couplings are
secure.
Exhaust system:Make sure the outside visible parts are
securely mounted. Make sure there are no
cracks, holes or severe dents.
Frame:Check for cracks or bends in longitudinal
frame members. Make sure there are no loose,
cracked, bent, broken or missing
crossmembers or crossmember fasteners.
Maintain adequate clearance between all parts of the exhaust
system and all hoses, wires and lines for engine cooling, brake
system, fuel system, power steering system and electrical system, Heat

* Heavy duty trailer towing with ambient temperatures above 10°C
(50°F) requires 15W-40 engine oil.
Using the chart, determine which SAE viscosity grade best suits the
temperature range in which you expect to operate your vehicle. The use
of the correct oil viscosity grade for diesel engines is important for
satisfactory engine operation.
A symbol has been developed by the American Petroleum Institute (API)
to help you select the proper engine oil. The symbol will be included on
the oil container you purchase.
The top section of the symbol shows
the API service category
designation. This should be CI-4/SL.
The center section of the API
symbol shows the SAE viscosity
grade.
The lower section of the API symbol will stateenergy conservingif the
engine oil has been proven to have fuel savings capabilities.
Use a Ford engine oil filter, part number FL-1995 or equivalent. This
filter protects your engine by filtering harmful, abrasive or sludge
particles.

Maintenance and specifications

For effective emissions control and low operating cost, it is important
that maintenance operations listed in this section be performed at the
specified periods or mileage intervals indicated (kilometers, miles, hours,
or months, whichever comes first).
Service intervals are based upon average operating conditions. Where
dusty, frequent start and stop or heavily laden operations are
encountered, more frequent servicing will be required.
As the vehicle (engine) owner, you are responsible for the performance
of all scheduled maintenance. The required maintenance operations may
be performed by the owner at a service establishment of the owner’s
choosing. Any replacement parts used for required maintenance services
or repairs should be genuine manufacturer service parts or equivalent in
quality and performance to genuine manufacturer service parts. Use of
inferior parts hinders operations of the engine and emissions controls
and can reduce engine life and/or jeopardize the warranty.
Receipts covering the performance of regular maintenance should be
retained in the event questions arise concerning maintenance. The
receipts should be transferred to each subsequent owner of the vehicle
(engine).
Catalytic converter
If your Diesel engine is equipped with a catalytic converter, it is
important to review the maintenance schedule to insure proper
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
notblend waste oil with Diesel fuel. Operate only on low sulfur (less
than 500 parts per million sulfur) Diesel fuel with a cetane value of 45 or
higher.
Note:If your vehicle is equipped with a vertical exhaust pipe, it is very
important to have and maintain a rain cap on the exhaust pipe to
prevent water from entering the exhaust system and catalytic converter.
Any water entering the catalytic converter may damage the catalyst and
affect the function of the converter.

Air induction system
Once each year, perform a complete inspection of the air induction
system. In areas where road salt is used, the inspection consists of
disassembling the joints of each aluminum component and inspecting for
salt build-up, presence of chlorine that can cause aluminum particles to
flake off and enter the engine combustion chambers.
If evidence of corrosion is found (usually at the pipe connections), use a
wire brush to clean the inside of the pipes and inside the rubber hoses.
If the intake pipes are pitted at the joint ends, use RTV silicone to seal
the joints. Be certain that no excess material is on the inside of the pipes
that can be pulled into the engine. If the service condition of the pipes,
hoses or clamps is questionable, replace the defective part(s).
To reduce the risk of personal injury or death when performing
maintenance to any turbocharged engine with engine air inlet
piping disconnected, a turbocharger compressor air inlet protective
shield should be installed over the turbocharger air inlet.
Cummins B and Caterpillar engines
Refer to the respective engine operator manual for air filter replacement
procedure.
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.
Automotive fuels can cause serious injury or death if misused or
mishandled.

Observe the following guidelines when handling fuel:
•Extinguish all smoking materials
and any open flames before
fueling your vehicle.
•Always turn off the vehicle before
fueling.
•Automotive fuels can be harmful
or fatal if swallowed. If fuel is swallowed, call a physician immediately,
even if no symptoms are immediately apparent. The toxic effects of
fuel may not be visible for hours.
•Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. Inhaling too much fuel vapor of any kind
can lead to eye and respiratory tract irritation. In severe cases,
excessive or prolonged breathing of fuel vapor can cause serious
illness and permanent injury.
•Avoid getting fuel liquid in your eyes. If fuel is splashed in the eyes,
remove contact lenses (if worn), flush with water for 15 minutes and
seek medical attention. Failure to seek proper medical attention could
lead to permanent injury.
•Fuels can also be harmful if absorbed through the skin. If fuel is
splashed on the skin and/or clothing, promptly remove contaminated
clothing and wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Repeated or
prolonged skin contact with fuel liquid or vapor causes skin irritation.
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.
If you do not use the proper fuel filler cap, excessive pressure or
vacuum in the fuel tank may damage the fuel system or cause
the fuel system to work improperly in a collision, which may result in
possible personal injury.
Choosing the right fuel
At operating temperatures below 0°C (32°F), use a blend of No. 1D and
No. 2D Diesel fuels, also known as winterized No. 2D.
Do not use diesel fuel blended with waste oil in engines equipped with a
catalytic converter-muffler. Blending waste oil in with the fuel will plug
the catalytic converter-muffler, resulting in a significant loss of engine
power. Your emissions warranty will be voided if blending waste oil with
diesel fuel is practiced.
