You may fi nd more information on the
maintenances and contact information for
the Ford Trucks authorized dealerships in
the Warranty Manual.
Distance and engine operating hours to
the maintenance are displayed on the
displays of your vehicle.
We advise you to have the periodical
maintenance and repair operations on
your vehicle performed in Ford Trucks
authorized dealerships.
CAUTION
Risk of Serious Injury
Coolant is pressurized and VERY HOT.
Do not open the cover immediately. Wait
at least half an hour and open the cover
with a thick cloth or protective gloves, if
available. Open the cover slowly fi rst to
discharge the pressure in the reservoir;
then open the cover completely.
• Check under the vehicle for any coolant
leaks.
• Tilt the cab, check the belts for any
broken or excessively loosened belt.
If the fan cable breaks, fan rotates in
maximum rpm; since this will worsen
the fuel economy, it is advised you to go
to service a er the warning light goes on.
CAUTION
Do not refi ll with water when the cooling
system of a hot engine is empty or
its coolant is missing. Add hot water
if available, or wait until the engine is
cooled.
Replacement interval of the air fi lters
depend on the operating conditions of
the vehicle.
1- Air fi lter shall be replaced in an
authorized dealership when x light is
illuminated.
2-Even if the warning light is not
illuminated, fi lters shall be replaced at
every 60,000km for construction series

The paper structure is distorted within

Otosan Authorized Dealership for the

WARNING
Always tilt the cab completely to replace
air fi lters. Tilting the cab halfway may
cause personal injuries.
Ensure that the air fi lter cover is installed
so that the dust draining hole faces
downward.
WARNING
Do not operate the vehicle with air
fi lters removed. As the air drawn to
the turbocharger and thus the engine

serious and expensive malfunctions on
components such as turbocharger and
