2022 FORD F-650/750 brake fluid

Before you start operator commanded
regeneration, do the following:
•
Shift into park (P) or if you have an
RNDM selector shift into neutral (N)
and apply the parking and or air brake,
on stable, level ground.
• Park your vehicle outside of any
structure.
• Park your vehicle 10– 15 ft (3–5 m)
away from any obstructions and away
from materials that can easily combust
or melt, for example paper, leaves,
petroleum products, fuels, plastics and
other dry organic material.
• Make sure there is a minimum of 1/8
tank of fuel.
• Make sure all fluids are at proper levels.
How to Start Operator Commanded
Regeneration WARNING:
Stay clear of the
exhaust tailpipe during regeneration. Hot
exhaust gases can burn you badly.
Note: You cannot use the operator
commanded regeneration until the diesel
particulate filter load percentage has
reached 100%. The diesel particulate filter
load percentage fluctuates up and down
when driving your vehicle due to active and
passive regenerations.
Note: During the use of operator
commanded regeneration, you may observe
a light amount of white smoke. This is
normal. You may not be able to use
operator commanded
regeneration if the service engine
soon warning lamp appears in the
information display Information Display Procedure
Start your vehicle engine and when it has
reached the normal operating temperature,
arrow through the display to get to the
Diesel Particulate Filter Status on the
Truck Info tab. Exhaust Filter XX%/FULL
displays. Operator commanded
regeneration can only be initiated when
FULL
See Information Display Control
(page 52). If a message advising that the
exhaust filter is full appears in the
information display, press and hold the OK
button to initiate Exhaust Cleaning. If
successful, a second prompt appears
regarding exhaust position required to
initiate operator commanded regeneration.
Be sure to understand each prompt. If you
are not sure what is being asked by each
prompt, contact an authorized dealer. If
the exhaust system meets the position
requirements then press and hold the OK
button to fully activate the Operator
Commanded Regeneration. The display
confirms the operation has started and
when it has finished.
You can also drive to clean the filter. When the system is at the point
of oversaturation, the service
engine warning lamp illuminates
and a message appears in the information
display. You cannot initiate filter cleaning.
You must have your vehicle checked as
soon as possible.
Once operator commanded regeneration
starts, engine speed increases to
approximately 1600 rpm and the cooling
fan speed increases. You will hear a
change in audible sound due to engine
speed and cooling fan speed increases.
It is not necessary to open the hood on the
engine compartment. Once operator
commanded regeneration completes, the
engine speed returns to normal idling. The
exhaust system remains very hot for
several minutes even after regeneration is

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING: Exceeding these ratings
by overloading can cause component
failure resulting in property damage,
personal injury or death.
Fluid Temperature
If the operating temperature exceeds
250°F (121°C), the rate of axle lubrication
oxidation increases and shortens the life
of the lubricant and seals, requiring axle
lubrication changes to become more
frequent to preserve the axle. Do not
consistently run extreme pressure (EP)
lubricants above
250°F (121°C).
Axle Conversions WARNING:
When operating a
loaded vehicle, the driver must keep all
adjustable axles on the ground at all
times, supporting their share of the
vehicle ’s load. Failure to do so can
overload other axles, tires, wheels,
springs, steering components, brakes
and frames, resulting in early component
failure, loss of vehicle control, possible
property damage and personal injury.
We do not recommend, or approve,
performing axle conversions. However, we
understand that, on occasion, others install
aftermarket add-on axles on the truck
chassis that allow operator control for
weight transfer from other axles (such as
air lift axles). ELECTRONIC LOCKING
DIFFERENTIAL
(IF EQUIPPED)
Driver-Controlled Electronic
Locking Differential
Note: Never use the differential lock at
vehicle speeds above
25 mph (40 km/h).
Some drive axles have a driver-controlled
differential lock. The differential lock can
lock or unlock the differential when your
vehicle is moving or stopped. When you
require extra traction, the differential lock
provides full power to both wheels.
When you lock the differential, your
vehicle ’s turning radius increases
(under-steer).
Take care to avoid sudden accelerations
when both drive wheels are on a slippery
surface. WARNING:
Sudden acceleration
on slippery surfaces could cause the
wheels to spin, the vehicle to turn
sideways on a crowned road surface or
in a turn, possibly resulting in loss of
vehicle control and personal injury.
Activating the Electronic Locking
Differential
You can lock and unlock the differential
when your vehicle is moving at a constant
speed of less than 25 mph (40 km/h) and
while the wheels are not slipping. Do not
lock the differential when your vehicle is
traveling down steep grades and when
traction is minimal.
The differential lock and differential lock
light automatically disengage at speeds
above
25 mph (40 km/h). The differential
lock remains off until either you restart your
vehicle, or you turn the differential lock
switch off then back on.

VEHICLE INSPECTION
INFORMATION
To make sure your vehicle is ready to
operate, conduct a pre-trip inspection at
the beginning of each work period. Follow
the steps listed in this section to verify a
proper vehicle inspection procedure.
WARNING: Exercise great caution
when working on a vehicle equipped with
an automatic fan clutch. The fan starts
in motion only after the engine coolant
reaches a predetermined temperature
or the refrigerant pressure (if equipped
with air conditioning) reaches a
predetermined setting. The fan starts at
this point with no advance warning.
Never reach near, or permit objects to
protrude into, the fan blade radius while
the engine is running as this could result
in vehicle damage, personal injury or
death. WARNING:
Do not operate the
vehicle if any suspension conditions
listed in the following charts are evident.
Loss of steering or suspension could
result in property damage, personal injury
or death. WARNING:
If a wheel must be
changed, obtain expert tire service help.
Mounting and un-mounting of tires
should only be performed by a qualified
technician using necessary safety
procedures and equipment, otherwise
the result could be property damage,
personal injury or death.
Note: Always make sure you apply the
parking brake before starting the engine. Engine compartment (with engine off)
