Exhaust Fumes
These contain asphyxiating, harmful and toxic
chemicals and particles such as carbon oxides,
nitrogen oxides, aldehydes, lead and aromatic
hydrocarbons. Engines should be run only under
conditions of adequate exhaust extraction or
general ventilation and not in confined spaces.
Gasoline (petrol) engine
There may not be adequate warning of odor or of
irritation before toxic or harmful effects arise. These
may be immediate or delayed.
Diesel engine
Soot, discomfort and irritation usually give
adequate warning of hazardous fume
concentrations.
Fibre Insulation
See alsoDusts.
Used in noise and sound insulation.
The fibrous nature of surfaces and cut edges can
cause skin irritation. This is usually a physical and
not a chemical effect.
Precautions should be taken to avoid excessive
skin contact through careful organization of work
practices and the use of gloves.
Fire
See also Welding,Foams,Legal Aspects.
Many of the materials found on or associated with
the repair of vehicles are highly flammable. Some
give off toxic or harmful fumes if burnt.
Observe strict fire safety when storing and handling
flammable materials or solvents, particularly near
electrical equipment or welding processes.
Make sure, before using electrical or welding
equipment, that there is no fire hazard present.
Have a suitable fire extinguisher available when
using welding or heating equipment.
First Aid
Apart from meeting any legal requirements it is
desirable for someone in the workshop to be
trained in First Aid procedures.
Splashes in the eye should be flushed carefully
with clean water for at least ten minutes.
Soiled skin should be washed with soap and water.
In case of cold burns, from alternative fuels, place
affected area in cool to cold water.
Individuals affected by inhalation of gases and
fumes should be removed to fresh air immediately.
If effects persist, consult a doctor.
If liquids are swallowed inadvertently, consult a
doctor giving him the information on the container
or label. Do not induce vomiting unless this action
is indicated on the label.
Fluoroelastomer
See Viton.
Foams - Polyurethane
See also Fire.
Used in sound and noise insulation. Cured foams
used in seat and trim cushioning.
Follow manufacturers instructions.
Unreacted components are irritating and may be
harmful to the skin and eyes. Wear gloves and
goggles.
Individuals with chronic respiratory diseases,
asthma, bronchial medical problems, or histories
of allergic diseases should not work in or near
uncured materials.
The components, vapors or spray mists can cause
direct irritation, sensitivity reactions and may be
toxic or harmful.
Vapors and spray mists must not be inhaled. These
materials must be applied with adequate ventilation
and respiratory protection. Do not remove the
respirator immediately after spraying; wait until the
vapors/mists have cleared.
Burning of the uncured components and the cured
foams can generate toxic and harmful fumes.
Smoking, naked flames or the use of electrical
equipment during foaming operations and until
vapors/mists have cleared should not be allowed.

Irritation of the mouth and throat may result from
swallowing. The main hazard from swallowing
arises if liquid aspiration into the lungs occurs.
Liquid contact dries the skin and can cause
irritation or dermatitis. Splashes in the eye may be
slightly irritating.
In normal circumstances the low volatility does not
give rise to harmful vapors. Exposure to mists and
vapors from kerosene at elevated temperature
should be avoided (mists may arise in dewaxing).
Avoid skin and eye contact and make sure there
is adequate ventilation.
Gas Cylinders
See also Fire. Gases such as oxygen, acetylene, argon and
propane are normally stored in cylinders at
pressures of up to 138 bar (2000 psi) and great
care should be taken in handling these cylinders
to avoid mechanical damage to them or to the valve
gear attached. The contents of each cylinder
should be clearly identified by appropriate
markings.
Cylinders should be stored in well-ventilated
enclosures, and protected from ice and snow, or
direct sunlight. Fuel gases, for example acetylene
and propane, should not be stored in close
proximity to oxygen cylinders.
Care should be exercised to prevent leaks from
gas cylinders and lines, and to avoid sources of
ignition.
Only trained personnel should undertake work
involving gas cylinders.

General Workshop Tools and
Equipment
It is essential that all tools and equipment are
maintained in good condition and that the correct
safety equipment is used where required.
Never use tools or equipment for any purpose other
than that for which they were designed. Never
overload equipment such as hoists, jacks, axle and
chassis stands or lifting slings. Damage caused by
overloading is not always immediately apparent
and may result in a fatal failure the next time that
the equipment is used.
Do not use damaged or defective tools or
equipment, particularly high-speed equipment such
as grinding wheels. A damaged grinding wheel can
disintegrate without warning and cause serious
injury.
Wear suitable eye protection when using grinding,
chiseling or sand blasting equipment.

Petrol and Petrol-Ethanol Fuel Systems Health and SafetyPrecautions
WARNINGS:
Fuel may not give adequate warning before
toxic or harmful effects arise.
Exposure to fuel can be harmful and can
cause severe health damage or death.
Extreme care must be exercised when
handling hot fluids. Always wash off spilled
fluids from affected areas of skin
immediately.
Highly flammable mixtures are always
present and may ignite when working on
fuel systems. Do not allow naked flames,
sparks or lighted substances to come near
fuel related components.
Fuel must not be used as a cleaning agent.
Keep fuel containers tightly closed, out of
direct sunlight and in a cool area. Keep
away from heat sources, ignition sources
and oxidizing agents.
SKIN CONTACT: Excessive or prolonged
skin contact with diesel fuel may cause
serious skin disorders including skin
cancer.
SKIN CONTACT: Fuel is mildly irritating to
the skin and may cause dermatitis due to
defatting effect. Remove contaminated
clothing. Wash affected areas of skin with
soap and water. Seek medical attention for
any persistent skin irritation or
abnormality. Wash contaminated clothing
before reuse.
EYE CONTACT: Fuel is mildly irritating to
the eyes. Flush with plenty of running
water, blinking as often as possible. Do not
force the eyelid open. Seek medical
attention for any persistent eye irritation
or abnormality.
SWALLOWED: Fuel is moderately toxic
and tends to foam on vomiting. If drawn
into the lungs, inflammation may develop.
Do not induce vomiting. If spontaneous
vomiting occurs place the victim in a
forward position to reduce the risk of fuel
being drawn into the lungs. Give nothing
by mouth. If breathing but unconscious,
place in the recovery position. If breathing has stopped, apply artificial respiration.
Seek immediate medical attention.
INHALED: Fuel is toxic to the respiratory
and other body systems. Exposure may
result in various symptoms including
drowsiness, unconsciousness or severe
health damage. Move a victim to fresh air.
Keep a victim warm and at rest. If
unconscious, place in the recovery
position. If not breathing, apply artificial
respiration. Give cardiac massage if
necessary. Seek immediate medical
attention.
CAUTIONS:
Fuel injection equipment is manufactured
to very precise tolerances and fine
clearances. It is essential that absolute
cleanliness is observed when working with
these components.

System Operation
Electric Booster Heater
In diesel vehicles which give off little residual heat,
a booster heater is used to heat the passenger
compartment rapidly in the case of low ambient
temperatures.
If the interior temperature has been set to HI, or if
the heater controls have been switched to the
highest setting, the two-zone air conditioning
system sends an "electric booster heater ON"
request signal to the CAN (controller area network)
via the medium speed GEM bus. If a manual air
conditioning system is installed, the signal is
transmitted via a conventional cable connection.
The GEM switches on the electric booster heater
depending on the following parameters:
• Engine coolant temperature is below 60 °C.
• Ambient air temperature is below 10 °C.
• Sufficient generator capacity is available.
The electric booster heater electronics activate
three output stages as a function of a pulse width
modulated signal PWM (pulse width modulation)
generated by the GEM. The output stages switch
the three heating elements of the electric booster
heater ON or OFF individually, whereby the heating
periods of the individual elements can overlap. Due
to the variable switch-on duration, continuously
variable temperature control is possible. The overall
heating power of the three heating elements is
linearly proportional to the PWM signal. If the PWM
signal is below 10% or above 95%, the electric
booster heater is not activated.
The electric booster heater is switched off when
an engine coolant temperature of 70°C or an
ambient air temperature of 20°C is exceeded.

Flame sensor
If the flame goes out independently during
operation of the booster heater, a restart is carried
out. If the booster heater does not ignite within 90
seconds of fuel delivery or if the flame goes out
within 15 minutes of starting, a lockout will be
implemented by the flame sensor.
Lockout can be cancelled by switching the booster
heater off then on again, although this may only
be repeated at most 2 times.
Overheat Sensor
The overheating sensor enables the fuel-fired
booster heater module to determine the coolant
temperature, protecting the heater from
overheating. The overheating sensor is installed
next to the coolant temperature sensor under a
cover on the top of the fuel-fired heater.
In the event of overheating (lack of water, poorly
ventilated coolant circuit), the fuel supply to the
heater is interrupted and a lockout occurs. After
the cause of the overheating has been eliminated,
the heater can be restarted by switching it off and
on again, if the coolant temperature is below 70°C.
If the heater overheats ten times in a row, the
control unit is locked.
ECT
The fuel-fired booster heater module uses the
temperature sensor to determine the coolant
temperature, which it then uses to set the starting
and stopping time. The coolant temperature sensor
is installed next to the overheating sensor under a
cover on the top of the fuel-fired heater. Water pump The coolant pump is located on the holder for the
fuel-fired heater on the bulkhead in the rear of the
engine compartment. The coolant pump is driven
by a built-in electric motor and circulates the
coolant in the engine cooling system. The delivery
rate for the pump is 820l/h at a delivery pressure
of 0.1 bar.
Fuel pump
The fuel required for the fuel-fired heater is taken
from the fuel system by a fuel pump fitted in the
fuel tank and is delivered to the heater via a fuel
line.
The fuel pump is an electric piston pump which
meters the corresponding fuel volume for the
fuel-fired heater according to a cycle set by the
fuel-fired heater module.

System Operation
General
In a communications network (data bus system),
various modules of different systems are connected
to one another via one or several lines.
The data bus system is used exclusively for
transmitting data between the connected modules,
as well as between the connected modules and
the Ford diagnostic unit.
In a data bus system, complete data blocks are
transmitted instead of single on/off pulses. In
addition to the actual information, these data blocks
also contain data regarding the address of the
module to be addressed, the size of the data block
and information for monitoring the content of each
individual data block.
Data bus systems offer various advantages: • Simplified data transmission between the
modules due to a standardized protocol
• Fewer sensors and connectors
• Improved diagnostic options
• Lower costs
The DLC is connected to the various data bus
systems and to the power supply via the standard
16-pin GEM. The signal for the module
programming is also transferred via the DLC.
In a data bus system, if there is a break in one or
both lines or there is a short to ground or to voltage,
then communication between the modules and
with the Ford diagnostic unit is disturbed or is no
longer possible at all.
In order to be able to establish communication with
one another, the modules of the individual systems G1030779en
