Introduction

Service Data Recording

Service data recorders in your vehicle are capable of collecting and storing diagnostic information about your vehicle. This potentially includes information about the performance or status of various systems and modules in the vehicle, such as engine, throttle, steering or brake systems. In order to properly diagnose and service your vehicle, Ford Motor Company, Ford of Canada, and service and repair facilities may access vehicle diagnostic information through a direct connection to your vehicle when diagnosing or servicing your vehicle.

Event Data Recording

Other modules in your vehicle - event data recorders - are capable of collecting and storing data during a crash or near crash event. The recorded information may assist in the investigation of such an event. The modules may record information about both the vehicle and the occupants, potentially including information such as:

• how various systems in your vehicle were operating;

• whether or not the driver and passenger seatbelts were buckled;

• how far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or the

brake pedal;

• how fast the vehicle was traveling; and

• where the driver was positioning the steering wheel.

To access this information, special equipment must be directly connected to the recording modules. Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada do not access event data recorder information without obtaining consent, unless pursuant to court order or where required by law enforcement, other government authorities or other third parties acting with lawful authority. Other parties may seek to access the information independently of Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada.

Introduction

Cell phone use

The use of Mobile Communications Equipment has become increasingly important in the conduct of business and personal affairs. However, drivers must not compromise their own or others’ safety when using such equipment. Mobile Communications can enhance personal safety and security when appropriately used, particularly in emergency situations. Safety must be paramount when using mobile communications equipment to avoid negating these benefits.

Mobile Communication Equipment includes, but is not limited to cellular phones, pagers, portable email devices, in-vehicle communications systems, telematics devices and portable two-way radios.

A driver’s first responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle.

The most important thing you can do to prevent a crash is to avoid distractions and pay attention to the road. Wait until it is safe to operate Mobile Communications Equipment.

WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES

Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may become serious enough to cause expensive repairs. A warning light may illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions. Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure the bulb works. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, have the respective system inspected immediately.

Some of the warning lights shown are optional based on vehicle equipment; your vehicle may not have some of the warning lights shown in this section.

Service engine soon: If this light illuminates while driving, it is a possible indication that one of the engine’s emission control systems has failed.

Check suspension: Illuminates when there is a fault in the electronic subsystem of the air suspension.

Stop engine: This light is used in conjunction with the electronic engine control.

Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual for specific information regarding this feature.

If the engine shuts down, it can be restarted and operated for 30 seconds at a time or until the problem is corrected. Refer to Engine shutdown system in the Driving chapter.

Drivers of electronically controlled engines should know the extent of warning engine shutdown system before operating the vehicle. This information can be obtained from your dealer.

Brake reserve system warning:

Illuminates to indicate normal Hydromax booster reserve system activation when the engine is OFF and the service brake pedal is applied.

This light may also illuminate momentarily if the engine is running and the driver turns the steering wheel fully in one direction while braking.

If the light remains on while the engine is running, this indicates inadequate hydraulic booster pressure or reserve pump system failure. Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible and seek service immediately.

Brake system warning light: To confirm the brake system warning light is functional, this light will momentarily illuminate when the ignition is turned to the ON position when the engine is not running. If the brake system warning light does not illuminate at this time, seek service immediately from your dealership. Illumination after starting the vehicle indicates a pressure differential in the master cylinder and the brake system should be inspected immediately by your dealership.

If equipped with an air brake system, the warning light stays on until the air pressure builds up to 60 psi (414 kPa). If the air pressure drops below 60 psi (414 kPa) during operation, the remaining brake system is still operational but the stopping distance will be greater.

STOP

With dual fuel tanks, the vehicle will be equipped with a fuel transfer pump system that will draw fuel from the driver-side fuel tank and send fuel to the passenger-side fuel tank. The passenger-side fuel tank must have fuel in it at all times otherwise the vehicle may stall and may be difficult to re-start. The fuel gauge reads the fuel level only from the passenger-side fuel tank.

Engine coolant temperature gauge: Indicates engine coolant

temperature. At normal operating temperature, the needle will be in the normal range (between “H” and “C”). If it enters the red section,

the engine is overheating. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, switch off the engine and let the engine cool.

Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is

running or hot.

Engine oil pressure gauge:

Indicates engine oil pressure. The needle should stay in the normal operating range (as indicated by the arrows). If the needle falls below the normal range, stop the vehicle, turn off the engine and check the engine oil level. Add oil if needed. If the oil level is correct, have your vehicle checked at your dealership or by a qualified technician.

Battery voltage gauge: Indicates the battery voltage when the ignition is in the ON position. If the pointer moves and stays outside the normal operating range (as indicated by arrows), have the vehicle’s electrical system checked as soon as possible.

Transmission temperature gauge (if equipped, automatic transmission only):

Indicates the temperature of the transmission fluid. The normal temperature range is 150°–230°F (65°–110°C). Readings of 230°–250°F (110°–121°C) are satisfactory for intermittent operation and are not cause for alarm. Operation above 250°F (121°C) can cause the fluid to break down and will result in component damage.

Hourmeter (if equipped):

Registers the hours the engine has been operating.

Air filter restriction gauge:

Measures the vacuum inside the air cleaner. The more the air cleaner is restricted (dirty, clogged), the higher the vacuum reading. Change the air filter when the gauge reads 25 inches. After installation of the new filter element, reset the gauge to 0.

Air pressure gauge: All vehicles equipped with air brakes have a dual-pointer air gauge to indicate the pressure in each brake circuit. The green pointer indicates the air pressure in the primary system and

the red pointer indicates the air pressure in the secondary system. When the pressure is too low for normal brake operation (less than

PRESSURE

60 psi [414 kPa]) and the ignition is on:

• a warning buzzer will sound and

• a warning light will illuminate in the instrument cluster

Do not drive the vehicle when the low air pressure buzzer is

sounding or the warning light is lit. These warnings indicate there is not enough air pressure for the brake or suspension system to operate properly.

Vehicles equipped with hydraulic brakes and an air compressor have a single-pointer air gauge.

Note: This system does not have a low air pressure warning buzzer or a low air pressure warning light.

GENERAL AUDIO INFORMATION

Radio frequencies

AM and FM frequencies are established by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). Those frequencies are:

AM - 530, 540–1700, 1710 kHz FM- 87.7, 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz

Radio reception factors

There are three factors that can effect radio reception:

• Distance/Strength: The further you travel from an FM station, the weaker the signal and the weaker the reception.

• Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, power lines, electric fences, traffic lights and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.

• Station overload: When you pass a broadcast tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and play while the weak station frequency is displayed.

Cassette/player care

Do:

• Use only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or less.

• Tighten very loose tapes by inserting a finger or pencil into the hole

and turning the hub.

2007 F-650/750 (f67) Supplement (supplement) Canadian_French (fr_can)

Page 47

Entertainment Systems

• Remove loose labels before inserting tapes.

• Allow tapes which have been subjected to extreme heat, humidity or

cold to reach a moderate temperature before playing.

• Clean the cassette player head with a cassette cleaning cartridge after 10–12 hours of play to maintain good sound/operation.

Don’t:

• Expose tapes to direct sunlight, extreme humidity, heat or cold.

• Leave tapes in the cassette player for a long time when not being

played.

CD/CD player care

Do:

• Handle discs by their edges only. Never touch the playing surface.

• Inspect discs before playing. Clean only with an approved CD cleaner

and wipe from the center out.

Don’t:

• Expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended periods of time.

• Insert more than one disc into each slot of the CD changer magazine.

• Clean using a circular motion.

CD units are designed to play commercially pressed 4.75 inch (12 cm) audio compact discs only. Due to technical incompatibility, certain recordable and re-recordable compact discs may not function correctly when used in Ford CD players. Irregular shaped CDs, CDs with a scratch protection film attached, and CDs with homemade paper (adhesive) labels should not be inserted into the CD player. The label may peel and cause the CD to become jammed. It is recommended that homemade CDs be identified with permanent felt tip marker rather than adhesive labels. Ball point pens may damage CDs. Please contact your dealer for further information.

SAFETY RESTRAINTS

Safety restraints precautions

Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap

belt snug and low across the hips.

To reduce the risk of injury, make sure children sit where they

can be properly restrained.

All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver, should always

properly wear their safety belts.

Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap while the

vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the child from injury in a collision.

It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or

outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and safety belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a safety belt properly.

Page 74

Seating and Safety Restraints

In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely

to die than a person wearing a safety belt.

Each seating position in your vehicle has a specific safety belt

assembly which is made up of one buckle and one tongue that are designed to be used as a pair. 1) Use the shoulder belt on the outside shoulder only. Never wear the shoulder belt under the arm. 2) Never swing the safety belt around your neck over the inside shoulder.

3) Never use a single belt for more than one person.

Combination lap and shoulder belts

1. Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle (the buckle closest to the direction the tongue is coming from) until you hear a snap and feel it latch. Make sure the tongue is securely fastened in the buckle.

2. To unfasten, push the release button and remove the tongue from the buckle.

The front and rear outboard safety restraints in the vehicle are combination lap and shoulder belts. The front and rear seat passenger outboard safety belts have vehicle sensitive emergency locking retractors.

Page 75

Seating and Safety Restraints

Lap belts

The front center and rear center lap belts do not adjust automatically.

The lap belt should fit snugly and as low as possible around the

hips, not across the waist.

Insert the tongue into the correct buckle (the buckle closest to the direction the tongue is coming from). To lengthen the belt, turn the tongue at a right angle to the belt and pull across your lap until it reaches the buckle. To tighten the belt, pull the loose end of the belt through the tongue until it fits snugly across the hips.

Shorten and fasten the belt when not in use.

Vehicle sensitive mode

The vehicle sensitive retractor allows free shoulder belt length adjustment to your movements and locks in response to vehicle movement. For example, if the driver brakes suddenly or turns a corner sharply, or the vehicle receives an impact of approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) or more, the combination safety belts will lock to help reduce forward movement of the driver and passengers.

Front safety belt height adjustment

SuperCab and Crew Cab vehicles have safety belt height adjustments for the driver and front passenger. Adjust the height of the shoulder belt so the belt rests across the middle of your shoulder.

To lower the shoulder belt height, push the button and slide the height adjuster down. To raise the height of the shoulder belt, slide the height adjuster up. Pull down on the height adjuster to make sure it is locked in place.

Position the safety belt height adjusters so that the belt rests

across the middle of your shoulder. Failure to adjust the safety belt properly could reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt and increase the risk of injury in a collision.

Safety belt extension assembly

If the safety belt is too short when fully extended, there is an eight inch (20 cm) safety belt extension assembly that can be added (part number 611C22). This assembly can be obtained from your dealer at no cost.

Use only extensions manufactured by the same supplier as the safety belt. Manufacturer identification is located at the end of the webbing on the label. Also, use the safety belt extension only if the safety belt is too short for you when fully extended.

Do not use extensions to change the fit of the shoulder belt

across the torso.

Safety belt maintenance

Inspect the safety belt systems periodically to make sure they work properly and are not damaged. Inspect the safety belts to make sure there are no nicks, tears or cuts. Replace if necessary. All safety belt assemblies, including retractors, buckles, front seat belt buckle assemblies, buckle support assemblies (slide bar-if equipped), shoulder belt height adjusters (if equipped), shoulder belt guide on seatback (if equipped), child safety seat tether anchors, and attaching hardware, should be inspected after a collision.

Ford Motor Company recommends that all safety belt assemblies

used in vehicles involved in a collision be inspected for proper function and replaced, if necessary. Safety belt assemblies not in use during a collision should also be inspected and replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted.

SAFETY RESTRAINTS FOR CHILDREN

Important child restraint precautions

You are required by law to use safety restraints for children in the U.S. and Canada. If small children (generally children who are four years old or younger and who weigh 40 lb. [18 kg] or less) ride in your vehicle, you must put them in safety seats made especially for children. Many states require that children use approved booster seats until they are eight years old. Check your local and state or provincial laws for specific requirements regarding the safety of children in your vehicle. When possible, always place children under age 12 in the rear seat of your vehicle. Accident statistics suggest that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating position.

Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap while the vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the child from

injury in a collision.

Always follow the instructions and warnings that come with any infant or child restraint you might use.

Children and safety belts

If the child is the proper size, restrain the child in a safety seat. Children who are too large for child safety seats (as specified by your

child safety seat manufacturer) should always wear safety belts. Follow all the important safety restraint precautions that apply to adult

passengers in your vehicle.

2007 F-650/750 (f67) Supplement (supplement) Canadian_French (fr_can)

Page 83

Seating and Safety Restraints

If the shoulder belt portion of a combination lap and shoulder belt can be positioned so it does not cross or rest in front of the child’s face or neck, the child should wear the lap and shoulder belt. Moving the child closer to the center of the vehicle may help provide a good shoulder belt fit.

Do not leave children, unreliable adults, or pets unattended in your vehicle.

Safety belts and seats can become hot in a vehicle that has been closed up in sunny weather; they could burn a small child. Check

seat covers and buckles before you place a child anywhere near them.

Child booster seats

Children outgrow a typical convertible or toddler seat when they weigh 40 lb. (18 kg) and are around 4 years of age. Although the lap/shoulder belt will provide some protection, these children are still too small for lap/shoulder belts to fit properly, which could increase the risk of serious injury.

To improve the fit of both the lap and shoulder belt on children who have outgrown child safety seats, Ford Motor Company recommends use of a belt-positioning booster.

Booster seats position a child so that safety belts fit better. They lift the child up so that the lap belt rests low across the hips and the knees bend comfortably. Booster seats also make the shoulder belt fit better and more comfortably for growing children.

When children should use booster seats

Children need to use booster seats from the time they outgrow the toddler seat until they are big enough for the vehicle seat and lap/shoulder belt to fit properly. Generally this is when they weigh about 80 lb. (36 kg) (about 8 to 12 years old).

2007 F-650/750 (f67) Supplement (supplement) Canadian_French (fr_can)

Page 84

Seating and Safety Restraints

Booster seats should be used until you can answer YES to ALL of these questions:

• Can the child sit all the way back against the vehicle seat back with knees bent comfortably at the edge of the seat without slouching?

• Does the lap belt rest low across the hips?

• Is the shoulder belt centered on the shoulder and chest?

• Can the child stay seated like this for the whole trip?

Types of booster seats

There are two types of belt-positioning booster seats:

• Those that are backless.

If your backless booster seat has a removable shield, remove the shield and use the lap/shoulder belt. If a seating position has a low seat back and no head restraint, a backless booster seat may place your child’s head (top of ear level) above the top of the seat. In this case, move the backless booster to another seating position with a higher seat back and lap/shoulder belts.

• Those with a high back.

If, with a backless booster seat, you cannot find a seating position that adequately supports your child’s head, a high back booster seat would be a better choice.

Both can be used in any vehicle in a seating position equipped with lap/shoulder belts if your child is over 40 lb. (18 kg).

2007 F-650/750 (f67) Supplement (supplement) Canadian_French (fr_can)

Page 85

Seating and Safety Restraints

The shoulder belt should cross the chest, resting snugly on the center of the shoulder. The lap belt should rest low and snug across the hips, never up high across the stomach.

If the booster seat slides on the vehicle seat, placing a rubberized mesh sold as shelf or carpet liner under the booster seat may improve this condition.

The importance of shoulder belts

Using a booster without a shoulder belt increases the risk of a child’s head hitting a hard surface in a collision. For this reason, you should never use a booster seat with a lap belt only. It is best to use a booster seat with lap/shoulder belts in the back seat- the safest place for children to ride.

Follow all instructions provided by the manufacturer of the booster seat.

Never put the shoulder belt under a child’s arm or behind the back because it eliminates the protection for the upper part of

the body and may increase the risk of injury or death in a collision.

Never use pillows, books, or towels to boost a child. They can slide around and increase the likelihood of injury or death in a

collision.

SAFETY SEATS FOR CHILDREN

Child and infant or child safety seats

Use a safety seat that is recommended for the size and weight of the child. Carefully follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions with the safety seat you put in your vehicle. If you do not install and use the safety seat properly, the child may be injured in a sudden stop or collision.

2007 F-650/750 (f67) Supplement (supplement) Canadian_French (fr_can)

Page 86

Seating and Safety Restraints

When installing a child safety seat:

• Use the correct safety belt buckle for that seating position.

• Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle until you hear a snap and feel it latch. Make sure the tongue is securely fastened in the buckle.

• Keep the buckle release button pointing up and away from the safety seat, with the tongue between the child seat and the release button, to prevent accidental unbuckling.

• Place seat back in upright position.

Ford recommends the use of a child safety seat having a top tether strap. Install the child safety seat in a seating position with a tether anchor. For more information on top tether straps and anchors, refer to

Attaching safety seats with tether straps.

Carefully follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions included

with the safety seat you put in your vehicle. If you do not install and use the safety seat properly, the child may be injured in a sudden stop or collision.

Installing child safety seats with combination lap and shoulder belts

1. Position the child safety seat in a seat with a combination lap and shoulder belt.

Children under 12 are safer when properly restrained in the rear

seat, to the extent this is possible.

2. While holding the shoulder and lap belt portions together, route the tongue through the child seat according to the child seat manufacturer’s instructions. Be sure the belt webbing is not twisted.

3. Buckle the seat belt. Push down on the child seat and pull on the shoulder portion of the belt to snug the lap belt. Hold the lap and shoulder belts next to the tongue and unbuckle the belt.

4. Install a locking clip over both lap and shoulder belt portions next to the sliding tongue. Rebuckle the belt. Obtain the locking clip kit (part number FO3Z-5461248–A) at no charge from an authorized Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer.

5. Before placing the child in the seat, forcibly tilt the seat forward and back to make sure the seat is securely held in place. To check this, grab the seat at the belt path and attempt to move it side to side and forward and back. There should be no more than one inch of movement for proper installation.

6. If the child seat is not tight enough, unbuckle the seat belt, move the tongue and locking clip to shorten the lap portion and push down hard on the child seat while you rebuckle the belt.

7. Check to make sure the child seat is properly secured before each use.

Seating and Safety Restraints

Attaching safety seats with tether straps

Most forward-facing child safety seats include a tether strap which goes over the back of the seat and hooks to an anchoring point. The F-650/750 vehicles are not equipped with an anchoring point. Tether straps are available as an accessory for many older safety seats. Contact the manufacturer of your child safety seat for information about ordering a tether strap.

Tether anchorage hardware

A tethered seat can be installed in the front seat. Put the tether strap over the seatback and attach it to an anchor bracket.

An anchor bracket can be installed to the inside of the back panel of your vehicle.

The anchor bracket must be installed using the instructions provided with the tether anchorage hardware kit.

Tether anchorage hardware kits (part number 613D74) including instructions, may be obtained at no charge from any Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer.

If you have a SuperCab or Crew Cab, Ford recommends you attach tether safety seats in the rear seating position (if possible) with the tether strap attached to the tether anchorage bracket as shown in the instructions provided with the tether anchor kit.

Tighten the anchor according to specifications. Otherwise, the

safety seat may not be properly secured and the child may be injured in a sudden stop or collision.

STARTING

Positions of the ignition

1. ACCESSORY, allows the electrical accessories such as the radio to operate while the engine is not running.

2. LOCK, locks the steering wheel, automatic transmission gearshift lever and allows key removal. For vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, you must depress the ignition release lever to release the key.

3. OFF, shuts off the engine and all accessories without locking the steering wheel. This position also allows the automatic transmission shift lever to be moved from the P (Park) position without the brake pedal being depressed.

4. ON, all electrical circuits operational. Warning lights illuminated. Key position when driving.

5. START, cranks the engine. Release the key as soon as the engine starts.

Starting the engine

Operation of a diesel engine near flammable vapors in the air may

cause the engine speed to increase uncontrollably and over speed. If this situation occurs, mechanical damage, fire, explosion, personal injury or death could result. Turning off the ignition key will not slow or stop

the engine due to uncontrollable fueling of the engine through flammable vapors being drawn into the engine air inlet. Operation of

components such as starter, alternator, electric motors, etc. and static electricity could also ignite flammable vapors. Do not operate the truck in the possible presence of flammable vapors unless both a complete hazard analysis is performed and necessary additional safety processes and/or equipment such as vapor testing, air intake shutoff devices, ventilation, etc. are utilized. The operator is responsible for using those processes and/or equipment to ensure that the diesel engine and all other components on the truck can be operated safely under the specific conditions and hazards that may be encountered.

Note: When starting the engine, do not press the accelerator as engine damage may result.

Driving

1. Ensure headlamps and all accessories are turned off, the parking brake is applied and the transmission is in the neutral position (or P [Park] for Allison 2200 transmissions).

2. Turn the key to ON, but do not start the engine. In cooler weather, the air intake heater may activate the WAIT TO START light in the instrument cluster.

If the WAIT TO START light illuminates, do not crank the engine until the light goes off.

If equipped with an air intake heater, DO NOT use ether or any

other starting fluids. The use of starting fluids (ether) in an engine equipped with an air intake heater could cause an explosion and result in property damage and/or personal injury.

3. When the WAIT TO START light turns off, turn the key to START; when the engine starts, release the key.

If the engine does not start after 30 seconds of cranking, allow two minutes for the starter to cool before trying again. Excessive cranking may damage the starter.

After the engine starts:

• On some engines, the WAIT TO START light should illuminate after the engine starts. Allow the engine to idle about three minutes or until the engine coolant temperature gauge begins to rise. Maintain idle speed until the WAIT TO START light cycles off to indicate the air intake heater has shut off (approximately six minutes). Operating the engine at higher speeds will reduce the effectiveness of the air inlet heater.

• Do not increase engine speed until the oil pressure gauge indicates normal pressure; this should be indicated on the gauge within 15 seconds after starting.

• Idle the engine for three to five minutes before operating with a full load.

• Try to limit engine idle to 10 minutes. Excessive idling reduces fuel economy.

• When starting a cold engine, increase the engine speed (RPM) slowly to make sure adequate lubrication is available to the bearings.

Cold weather operation

Do not use volatile starting aids such as ether, propane or gasoline in the engine air intake system. Glow plugs may ignite

vapors which can cause engine damage or personal injury.

In order to operate the engine in temperatures of 32°F (0°C) or lower, read the following instructions:

• Make sure that the batteries are of sufficient size and are fully charged. Check other electrical components to make sure they’re in optimum condition.

• Use a permanent-type engine coolant solution to protect the engine against damage from freezing.

• If your vehicle is equipped with a water-fuel separator, drain it daily. Fill the fuel tank at the end of daily operation to prevent condensation in the fuel system.

• Make sure you use proper cold weather engine oil and that it is at its proper level.

At temperatures of –4°F (–20°C) or below, it is recommended that you

•

use a crankcase-mounted coolant heater to improve cold engine starting.

• If operating in arctic temperatures of –20°F (–29°C) or lower, consult your truck dealer for information about special cold weather equipment and precautions.

Note: Idling in cold weather will not heat the engine to its normal operating temperature. Long periods of idling in cold weather can cause

2007 F-650/750 (f67) Supplement (supplement) Canadian_French (fr_can)

Page 93

Driving

a buildup of heavy deposits of carbon and rust on valve stems causing them to stick which, in turn, can cause valvetrain damage.

The following cold weather idling guidelines must be followed:

• Avoid idling the engine for more than 10 minutes at a time.

• Use a minimum of 45 Cetane Diesel fuel or use Cetane Index

improvers from a reputable manufacturer.

• Maintain a minimum idle of 1250 RPM by using the hand throttle. Always make sure that the parking brake is applied and the transmission is in neutral before applying the hand throttle.

• Maintain the engine cooling system properly.

•

Do not shut the engine down after an extensive idling period (10 minutes or more). Drive the vehicle under load for several miles at normal operating temperatures to burn off any accumulated carbon and varnish.

• Consider using an engine block heater, approved winter fronts and/or radiator shutters where conditions warrant.

Winter fronts

The use of winter fronts, or other air-restrictive devices mounted in front of the radiator on vehicles with chassis-mounted charge air coolers, are not recommended unless extremely cold weather conditions exist. Air flow restriction can cause high exhaust temperatures, power loss, excessive fan usage and a reduction in fuel economy. If you must use a winter front, the device should have a permanent opening of at least 120 sq in. (774 sq. cm) directly in line with the fan hub.

Hot weather operation

• Keep the engine cooling system filled with a clean, permanent coolant solution to protect against damage from overheating.

• Fill the fuel tank at the end of daily operation to prevent condensation in the fuel system.

• Keep external surfaces of the engine, radiator, charge air cooler, A/C condenser and accessories clean to avoid dirt build-up.

Above normal coolant temperatures could be experienced while driving in a transmission gear ratio which lugs the engine. To correct this problem, engine speed should be increased by downshifting in to the next lower gear to increase engine RPM.

Starting a turbocharged engine with the vehicle on a steep grade

When starting a diesel engine when the loaded vehicle is on a grade, the engine RPM will start to fall slightly when the clutch is engaged; do not

2007 F-650/750 (f67) Supplement (supplement) Canadian_French (fr_can)

Page 94

Driving

disengage the clutch and try to increase engine RPM as this may damage driveline components. The engine will recover as the vehicle begins moving.

Engine shutdown

Allow the engine to idle for three to five minutes before shutting it down. The larger the engine, the greater the need for this idling period. However, do not let the engine idle for more than 10 minutes.

Restarting after running out of fuel

The fuel system may need to be purged of air, refer to Running out of fuel in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter.

GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• Avoid extended and unnecessary idling.

• Start the vehicle in motion by using the highest gear speed in the

transmission that will let the engine easily start the load without slipping the clutch.

• Accelerate smoothly and evenly; rapid acceleration increases fuel consumption without increasing engine performance.

• When approaching a hill, depress the accelerator smoothly to start the incline at full power, then shift down as needed to maintain vehicle speed.

• When going down a hill, or long steep grades, prevent over-speeding of the engine. The engine governor has no control over engine speed when it is being pushed by a loaded vehicle.

• Always shift to a lower gear at high altitudes to prevent engine smoking.

• Operate in a gear that will permit an engine speed not in excess of the maximum governed speed or high-idle RPM (no load).

• Normally, choose the same gear to descend the hill that you would use to ascend the hill.

All vehicles have blind spots. To reduce the risk of severe injury

or property damage, never move your vehicle to the side or rear or change lanes without being sure your way is clear on both sides and to your rear.

Driving

Backing up

To reduce the risk of the possibility of personal injury while

backing the vehicle, always be sure your vehicle’s path is clear.

Before backing your vehicle, be sure you can do so safely. If anything behind the cab limits your view, do not rely on mirrors alone to ensure that your intended path is clear. If other people are in the vicinity, have someone standing well behind your vehicle and outside of your intended path (visible through an exterior mirror) guide you as you back up.

Although OSHA or some governmental regulations may require the use of an electrical or mechanical back-up alarm to warn bystanders, such an alarm does not ensure that the intended path is clear. When in doubt, get out of the vehicle and visually check the intended path is clear; back-up slowly as to allow others time to move, if necessary.

If an electrical back-up alarm is installed, it should be connected to the back-up lamp circuit.

Parking your vehicle

Always use the parking brake. When parking on a grade, block the wheels and turn the front wheels to one side so that if the vehicle rolls, the front tires will act against the curb to stop the vehicle. The front wheels will be more effective at stopping a rolling vehicle than the rear wheels.

When parking your vehicle, do not leave the transmission in

gear; if the key is in the ON position and the vehicle rolls, the engine could start. Failure to follow these instructions could result in an unattended vehicle moving, possibly causing personal injury or property damage.

Driving through water

If driving through deep or standing water is unavoidable, proceed very slowly especially if the depth is not known. Never drive through water that is higher than the bottom of the hubs (for trucks) or the bottom of the wheel rims (for cars). Traction or brake capability may be limited and your vehicle may stall. Water may also enter your engine’s air intake and severely damage your engine, drive axles or the transmission (through the breather ports).

Once through the water, always dry the brakes by moving your vehicle slowly while applying light pressure on the brake pedal. Wet brakes do not stop the vehicle as quickly as dry brakes.

ENGINE AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN WARNING LIGHT OR CHIME (IF EQUIPPED)

Your vehicle may be equipped with an automatic shutdown feature that stops the engine in the event of high coolant temperature, low engine oil pressure or low engine coolant level. A warning light in the instrument cluster and a warning chime will indicate high engine coolant temperature or low engine oil pressure. If the temperature and/or pressure becomes too high or too low, the engine will automatically shut down.

Vehicles that are equipped with an override feature, allow the operator to restart the engine so the vehicle can be moved; the engine should not be operated any longer than necessary. A decal located in front of the operator provides instructions on how the override should be operated.

Do not attempt to use this restarting feature to drive the vehicle very far as serious engine damage could result.

In the event of engine shutdown, make sure the vehicle is safely

off the road and the problem is remedied prior to returning to the road. Failure to remove the vehicle from the road could result in an accident, causing serious injury or death.

GENERAL BRAKE INFORMATION

All standard equipment brakes are designed to be self-adjusting. Automatic adjustment, when required, occurs whenever the brakes are applied and released during forward or reverse operation. Refer to the Scheduled Maintenance Guide chapter for scheduled maintenance.

Occasional brake noise is normal and often does not indicate a performance concern with the vehicle’s brake system. In normal operation, automotive brake systems may emit occasional or intermittent squeal or groan noises when the brakes are applied. Such noises are usually heard during the first few brake applications in the morning; however, they may be heard at any time while braking and can be aggravated by environmental conditions such as cold, heat, moisture,

2007 F-650/750 (f67) Supplement (supplement) Canadian_French (fr_can)

Page 97

Driving

road dust, salt or mud. If a “metal-to-metal,” “continuous grinding” or “continuous squeal” sound is present while braking, the brake linings may be worn-out and should be inspected by a qualified service technician.

Know the required stopping distances for all driving conditions that may be encountered. For longer brake lining life, take full advantage of engine braking power when coming to a stop.

Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. This will

result in abnormally high brake temperatures, excessive lining wear and increased stopping distances.

Before descending a long or steep hill, shift to a lower gear and avoid continuous application of the brakes. Normally, choose the same gear to descend the hill that you would use to ascend the hill.

Continuous application of the brakes will cause the brakes to

overheat, resulting in a temporary loss of braking.

If brakes do not grip well

• If you have been driving through deep water, gently apply the brakes several times while the vehicle is moving slowly.

• Let the brakes cool if you have been using them excessively, as in mountain driving or after several fast, high speed stops.

• Check brake adjustment.

• Check brake linings for excessive wear.

• Check system air pressure. (Air brakes only)

HYDRAULIC BRAKES (IF EQUIPPED)

HydroMax brake booster system

The HydroMax systems receive fluid pressure from the power steering pump to provide power assist during braking.

The HydroMax booster receives back-up pressure from the reserve system electric pump whenever the fluid in the power steering system is not flowing. When the engine is off, the pump will turn on if the brake pedal is applied, or if the ignition is turned to the ON position.

2007 F-650/750 (f67) Supplement (supplement) Canadian_French (fr_can)

Page 98

Driving

The sound of the pump operating or fluid flowing through the booster may be heard; this is a normal characteristic of the system and should be no reason for concern.

The reserve system provides reduced braking power, so the vehicle should be operated under these conditions with caution, and only to seek service repair and remove the vehicle from the roadway.

If braking performance or pedal response becomes very poor, even when the pedal is strongly applied, this may indicate the presence of air in the hydraulic system or fluid leakage. Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible and seek service immediately.

If the red BRAKE warning lamp in the instrument cluster remains illuminated after engine start up, this indicates a system failure in the master cylinder of the brake system. Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible and seek service immediately.

If the yellow BRAKE RESERVE (E-motor) warning light remains on while the engine is running, this indicates inadequate hydraulic booster pressure or reserve pump system failure. Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible and seek service immediately.

Parking brake

Apply the parking brake whenever the vehicle is parked. To set the parking brake, pull handle up until it snaps into the locked position.

Do not use the gearshift

selector in place of the parking brake. Always set the parking brake fully AND make sure the gearshift selector is in R (Reverse) for vehicles equipped with manual transmission, P (Park) (if equipped) or N (Neutral) for vehicles with automatic transmission. Use of wheel chocks is also recommended in hilly or off-road usage.

Unexpected and possible

sudden vehicle movement may occur if these precautions are not taken.

Driving

When the parking brake is out of adjustment, seek service immediately. The parking BRAKE warning lamp

in the instrument cluster illuminates and will remain illuminated (when the ignition is turned on) until the parking brake is released.

Page 100

Driving

Push the palm release lever on the parking brake handle and push down as far as possible to release the brake. Driving with the parking brake on will cause the brakes to wear out quickly and reduce fuel economy.

If the parking brake is fully

released but the parking brake warning lamp remains illuminated, the brakes may not be working properly. See your dealer or a qualified service technician.

The parking brake is not recommended to stop a moving vehicle. However, if the normal brakes fail, the parking brake can be used to stop your vehicle in an emergency. Since the parking brake only applies retardation to the rear wheels, the vehicle’s stopping distance will increase greatly and the handling of your vehicle will be adversely affected.

POWER PARK (AIR-OPERATED PARKING BRAKE) OPTION (IF EQUIPPED)

This feature uses a brake chamber mounted on the chassis to power a spring-applied, air-released driveline parking brake. It is controlled by a yellow, dash-mounted parking brake knob.

Applying the parking brake

To apply the parking brake, pull the yellow, dash-mounted parking brake knob. A red light on the dash panel should illuminate indicating that the parking brake has been successfully set.

Note: If the park brake indicator light blinks and a warning chime sounds when the control knob is pulled, the parking brake is not functioning properly; seek immediate service from your dealer. Refer to the Parking Brake Warning System section.
