WARNING: When inflatingthe tire for mounting pressuresup to 20 psi (1.38 bar) greaterthan the maximum pressure onthe tire sidewall, the followingprecautions must be taken toprotect the person mounting thetire:
•Stand at a minimum of 12 ft(3.66 m) away from the wheeland tire assembly.
•Use both eye and earprotection.
WARNING: For a mountingpressure more than 20 psi(1.38 bar) greater than the
maximum pressure, a Forddealer or other tire serviceprofessional should do themounting.
Important: Remember to replacethe wheel valve stems when theroad tires are replaced on yourvehicle
It is recommended that the twofront tires or two rear tiresgenerally be replaced as a pair.
Replacing a Tire That isGreenhouse Gas Certified
The tires installed on this vehicleat the factory as originalequipment are certified forGreenhouse Gas and FuelEfficiency regulations.Replacement tires must be ofequal or lower rolling resistancelevel (TRRL or Crr). Consult withyour tire supplier(s) forappropriate replacement tires.
Safety Practices
WARNING: If your vehicleis stuck in snow, mud or sand, donot rapidly spin the tires;spinning the tires can tear thetire and cause an explosion. Atire can explode in as little asthree to five seconds.
WARNING: Do not spin thewheels at over 34 mph(55 km/h). The tires may fail andinjure a passenger or bystander.
HIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BEDANGEROUS
Correct inflation pressure is
especially important. However, athigh speeds, even with the correctinflation pressure, a road hazardfor example is more difficult toavoid and if contact is made, has

Highway Hazards
No matter how carefully you drivethere’s always the possibility thatyou may eventually have a flat tireon the highway. Drive slowly to theclosest safe area out of traffic.This may further damage the flattire, but your safety is moreimportant.
If you feel a sudden vibration orride disturbance when driving, oryou suspect your tire or vehiclehas been damaged, immediatelyreduce your speed. Drive withcaution until you can safely pulloff the road. Stop and inspect thetires for damage. If a tire isunder-inflated or damaged,deflate it, remove wheel andreplace it with your spare tire andwheel. If you cannot detect acause, have the vehicle towed tothe nearest repair facility or tiredealer to have the vehicleinspected.
Tire and Wheel Alignment
A bad jolt from hitting a curb orpothole can cause the front endof your vehicle to becomemisaligned or cause damage toyour tires. If your vehicle seems topull to one side when you’redriving, the wheels may be out ofalignment. Have an authorizeddealer check the wheel alignmentperiodically.
Wheel misalignment in the frontor the rear can cause uneven andrapid treadwear of your tires andshould be corrected by anauthorized dealer. Front-wheeldrive vehicles and those with anindependent rear suspension mayrequire alignment of all fourwheels.
The tires should also be balancedperiodically. An unbalanced tireand wheel assembly may result inirregular tire wear.
Tire Rotation
Note:If your tires show unevenwear ask an authorized dealer tocheck for and correct any wheelmisalignment, tire imbalance ormechanical problem involvedbefore tire rotation.
285
2024 F-650/750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 202210, First-PrintingWheels and Tires
Sometimes irregular tire wear canbe corrected by rotating the tires.
USING SNOW CHAINS
WARNING: Wheels and tires mustbe the same size, load index and speedrating as those originally fitted on thevehicle. Use of any other tire or wheelcan affect the safety and performanceof your vehicle. Additionally, the use ofnon-recommended tires and wheels cancause steering, suspension, axle, transfercase or power transfer unit failure.Follow the recommended tire inflationpressures found on the SafetyCompliance Certification label, or theTire Label on the B-Pillar or the edge ofthe driver door. Failure to follow thisinstruction could result in loss of vehiclecontrol, vehicle rollover, or personal injuryor death.
The tires on your vehicle have all-weathertreads to provide traction in rain and snow.However, in some climates, you may needto use snow tires and cables. If you needto use cables, it is recommended that steelwheels (of the same size andspecifications) be used, as cables may chipaluminum wheels.
Note:The suspension insulation andbumpers help prevent vehicle damage. Donot remove these components from yourvehicle when using snow tires and chains.
Follow these guidelines when using snowtires and chains:
•If possible, avoid fully loading yourvehicle.
•Install chains securely, verifying thatthe chains do not touch any wiring,brake lines or fuel lines.
•Drive cautiously. If you hear the chainsrub or bang against your vehicle, stopand retighten the chains. If this doesnot work, remove the chains to preventdamage to your vehicle.
•Remove the snow chains when theyare no longer needed. Do not use snowchains on dry roads.
Please contact your upfitter for approvedsnow chain types/sizes and otherrecommendations for snow chain use.
CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL
If you get a flat tire while driving, do notapply the brake heavily. Instead, graduallydecrease your speed. Hold the steeringwheel firmly and slowly move to a safeplace on the side of the road.
Tire Change Procedure
WARNING: To help prevent yourvehicle from moving when changing awheel, shift the transmission into park(P), set the parking brake and use anappropriate block or wheel chock tosecure the wheel diagonally opposite tothe wheel being changed. For example,when changing the front left wheel,place an appropriate block or wheelchock on the right rear wheel.
WARNING: Do not get under avehicle that is supported by a jack.
WARNING: Never place anythingbetween the vehicle jack and yourvehicle.
WARNING: Never place anythingbetween the vehicle jack and the ground.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications
WARNING: When you install a wheel, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreignmaterials present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheelhub, brake drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure to secure any fastenersthat attach the rotor to the hub so they do not interfere with the mounting surfaces ofthe wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal contact at the wheelmounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off whileyour vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss of vehicle control, personal injury or death.

450–500 lb.ft (610–678 Nm)M22 x 1.5
1 Torque specifications are for nut and bolt threads free of dirt and rust. Use only Fordrecommended replacement fasteners.
On vehicles equipped with single rear wheels, retighten the lug nuts to the specified torqueat 100 mi (160 km) after any wheel disturbance (such as tire rotation, changing a flat tire,wheel removal).
On vehicles equipped with dual rear wheels, retighten the lug nuts to the specified torqueat 100 mi (160 km) and again at 500 mi (800 km) of new vehicle operation and afterany wheel disturbance (such as tire rotation, changing a flat tire, wheel removal).
It is important to follow the proper wheel mounting and lug nut torque procedures.
On all two-piece flat wheel nuts,apply one drop of motor oilbetween the flat washer and thenut. Do not apply motor oil to thewheel nut threads or the wheelstud threads.

Engine Oil
We recommend Motorcraft motor oil foryour vehicle. If Motorcraft motor oil is notavailable, use motor oil of therecommended viscosity grade that meetsour specification WSS-M2C171-F1. You canfind the list of approved motor oils atwww.motorcraft.com.
Do not use engine oil additives as theycould lead to engine damage not coveredby your vehicle warranty.
The use of correct oil viscosities for dieselengines is important for satisfactoryoperation. Determine which oil viscositybest suits the temperature range youexpect to encounter for the next serviceinterval from the SAE Viscosity Gradeschart.
Note:An engine block heater isrecommended at temperatures below–10°F (–23°C).
