2015 FORD F750 Owners Manual

FUEL FILTER
Gasoline Engine
Your vehicle is equipped with a lifetime fuel filter that is part of the fuel
tank. You do need to perform regular maintenance or replace it.
Diesel Engine
WARNING:Do not drain water separator while engine is
running. Fuel may ignite if separator is drained while engine is
running or vehicle is moving.
The fuel filter water separator removes any contaminated particles and
water from the fuel before the fuel enters the engine.
See your engine operator’s manual for information on draining and
replacing the fuel filter.
WASHER FLUID CHECK
WARNING:If you operate your vehicle in temperatures below
40°F (5°C), use washer fluid with antifreeze protection. Failure
to use washer fluid with antifreeze protection in cold weather could
result in impaired windshield vision and increase the risk of injury or
accident.
Add fluid to fill the reservoir if the level is low. Only use a washer fluid
that meets Ford specifications. SeeTechnical specificationsin the
Capacities and Specificationschapter.
State or local regulations on volatile organic compounds may restrict the
use of methanol, a common windshield washer antifreeze additive. Only
use washer fluids containing non-methanol antifreeze agents if they
provide cold weather protection without damaging your vehicle’s paint
finish, wiper blades or washer system.
CHANGING THE VEHICLE BATTERY
WARNING:This vehicle may be equipped with more than one
battery, removal of cable from only one battery does not
disconnect the vehicle electrical system. Be sure to disconnect cables
from all batteries when disconnecting power. Failure to do so may
cause serious personal injury or property damage.

WARNING:Batteries normally produce explosive gases which
can cause personal injury. Therefore, do not allow flames, sparks
or lighted substances to come near the battery. When working near the
battery, always shield your face and protect your eyes. Always provide
proper ventilation.
WARNING:When lifting a plastic-cased battery, excessive
pressure on the end walls could cause acid to flow through the
vent caps, resulting in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or
battery. Lift the battery with a battery carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.
WARNING:Keep batteries out of reach of children. Batteries
contain sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
Shield your eyes when working near the battery to protect against
possible splashing of acid solution. In case of acid contact with skin or
eyes, flush immediately with water for a minimum of 15 minutes and
get prompt medical attention. If acid is swallowed, call a physician
immediately.
WARNING:Battery posts, terminals and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.
Note:If your battery has a cover or shield, make sure to reinstall it after
cleaning or replacing the battery.
Note:Electrical or electronic accessories or components added to your
vehicle by an authorized dealer or the owner may adversely affect
battery performance and durability.

Your vehicle is equipped with two or three maintenance-free batteries
mounted in a covered tray located on the left frame rail. The covered
battery tray, depending upon application, may also have one or two steps
attached.
Covered battery tray shown
(battery tray with steps
similar).Pull up on the two rubber
straps on the battery cover and
move them to the side of the
battery in order to remove the lid.

removed.
For longer, trouble-free operation, keep the top of the battery clean and
dry. Also, make sure you tightly fasten the battery cables to the battery
terminals.
If you see any corrosion on the battery or terminals, remove the cables
from the terminals and clean with a wire brush. You can neutralize the
acid with a solution of baking soda and water.
If you plan to store your vehicle for an extended period, disconnect the
negative battery cable. This minimizes the discharge of your battery
during storage.
If the engine cranks but does not start, remove the battery box cover
and check the 40 amp inline fuse located on the battery cable above the
battery.
Because a computer electronically controls your vehicle’s engine, battery
power controls some conditions. When you disconnect the battery or
install a new battery, the engine must relearn its idle and fuel trim
strategy for optimum driveability and performance. To begin this process:
1. With your vehicle at a complete stop, set the parking brake.
2. Put the gearshift in positionP(automatic transmission) or neutral
(manual transmission), turn off all accessories and start the engine.
3. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.

4. Allow the engine to idle for at least one minute.
5. Turn on the air conditioning and allow the engine to idle for at least
one minute.
6. Release the parking brake. With your foot on the brake pedal and
with the air conditioning on, put the transmission in positionP
(automatic transmission) or neutral (manual transmission) and allow
the engine to idle for at least one minute.Note:Not allowing the
engine to relearn the idle trim may adversely affect the idle quality of
your vehicle until the engine eventually relearns the idle trim.
7. Drive your vehicle to complete the relearning process.
If you disconnect the battery or install a new battery, you have to reset
the clock and radio settings after reconnecting the battery.
Always dispose of automotive
batteries in a responsible manner.
Follow your local authorized
standards for disposal. Call your
local authorized recycling center to
find out more about recycling
automotive batteries.
CHECKING THE WIPER BLADES
Run the tip of your fingers over the edge of the blade
to check for roughness.

ADJUSTING THE HEADLAMPS
The headlamps on your vehicle are properly aimed at the assembly plant.
If your vehicle has been in an accident, an authorized dealer should
check the alignment of your headlamps.
CHANGING A BULB
Lamp Assembly Condensation
Exterior lamps have vents to accommodate normal changes in pressure.
Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist air
enters the lamp assembly through the vents, there is a possibility that
condensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When normal
condensation occurs, a thin film of mist can form on the interior of the
lens. The thin mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during
normal operation. Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dry
weather conditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation are:
•Presence of thin mist (no streaks, drip marks or droplets).
•Fine mist covers less than 50% of the lens.
Examples of unacceptable moisture (usually caused by a lamp water
leak) are:
•Water puddle inside the lamp.
•Large water droplets, drip marks or streaks present on the interior of
the lens.
Take your vehicle to an authorized dealer for service if any of the above
conditions of unacceptable moisture are present.
Replacing Headlamp Bulbs
1. Make sure the headlamp control is in the off position.
2. Remove the four screws, and
then move the parking lamp
assembly away from the headlamp
bulb.
