HEALTH & SAFETY
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING HEALTH AND SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

SHOULD BE CAREFULLY OBSERVED.
Carrying out certain operations and handling some substances can be dangerous
or harmful to the operator if the correct safety precautions are not observed. Some
such precautions are recommended at the appropriate points in this book.
While it is important that these recommended safety precautions are observed,
care near machinery is always necessary, and no list can be exhaustive. ALWAYS
BE ON YOUR GUARD!
General Guidelines:
The following recommendations are for general guidance:
1. Always wear correctly fitting protective clothing which should be laundered
regularly. Loose or baggy clothing can be extremely dangerous when working
on running engines or machinery. Clothing which becomes impregnated with oil
or other substances can constitute a health hazard due to prolonged contact
with the skin even through underclothing.
2. So far as practicable, work on or close to engines or machinery only when they
are stopped. If this is not practicable, remember to keep tools, test equipment
and all parts of the body well away from the moving parts of the engine or
equipment—fans, drive belts and pulleys are particularly dangerous. The
electric cooling fan used on some installations is actuated automatically when
the coolant reaches a specified temperature. For this reason, care should be
taken to ensure that the ignition/isolating switch is OFF when working in the
vicinity of the fan as an increase in coolant temperature may cause the fan
suddenly to operate.
3. Avoid contact with exhaust pipes, exhaust manifolds and silencers when an
engine is, or has recently been running; these can be very hot and can cause
severe burns.
4. Many liquids used in engines or vehicles are harmful if taken internally or
splashed into the eyes. In the event of accidentally swallowing gasoline (petrol),
oil, diesel fuel, antifreeze, battery acid etc., DO NOT ENCOURAGE VOMITING
AND OBTAIN QUALIFIED MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY.
Wear protective goggles when handling liquids which are harmful to the eyes;
these include ammonia and battery acid. If any of these substances are splashed
in the eyes, wash out thoroughly with clean water and OBTAIN QUALIFIED
MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY.
Important Safety Notice
Appropriate service methods and proper repair procedures are essential for the
safe, reliable operation of all industrial engines as well as the personal safety of the
individual doing the work. This operator handbook provides general directions for
accomplishing service and repair work with tested, effective techniques. Following
them will help assure reliability.
There are numerous variations in procedures, techniques, tools and parts for
servicing equipment, as well as in the skill of the individual doing the work. This
4
manual cannot possibly anticipate all such variations and provide advice or
cautions as to each. Accordingly, anyone who departs from the instructions
provided in this Manual must first establish that neither personal safety nor
equipment integrity are compromised by the choice of methods, tools or parts.
Notes, Cautions, and Warnings
As you read through the procedures, you will come across NOTES, CAUTIONS,
and WARNINGS. Each one is there for a specific purpose. NOTES gives you
added information that will help you to complete a particular procedure.
CAUTIONS are given to prevent you from making an error that could damage the
equipment. WARNINGS remind you to be especially careful in those areas where
carelessness can cause personal injury. The following list contains some general
WARNINGS that you should follow when you work on the equipment.
GENERAL WARNINGS:
• Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
• Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires you to be under the
equipment.
• Be sure that the ignition switch is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise
required by the procedure.
• Set the parking brake (if equipped) when working on the equipment. If you have
an automatic transmission, set it in PARK REVERSE (engine off) or NEUTRAL
(engine on) unless instructed otherwise for a specific operation. Place wood
blocks (4”x 4” or larger) to the front and rear surfaces of the tires to provide
further restraint from inadvertent equipment movement.
• Operate the engine only in a well ventilated area to avoid the danger of carbon
monoxide.
• Keep yourself and your clothing away from moving parts when the engine is
running, especially the fan belts.
• To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the
radiator, exhaust manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
• Do not smoke while working on the equipment.
• To reduce the risk of injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging
jewelry, and loose clothing before beginning to work on the equipment. Tie long
hair securely behind the head.
• Keep hands and other objects clear of the radiator fan blades. Electric cooling
fans can start to operate at any time by an increase in underhood temperatures,
even though the ignition is in the OFF position. Therefore, care should be taken
to ensure that the electric cooling fan is completely disconnected when working
under the hood.

FORWARD
This book contains operating and maintenance instructions for the engine(s) listed
on the title page.
The life of your engine unit and the delivery of the high performance built into it will
depend on the care it receives throughout its life. It is the operator’s responsibility
to ensure that the engine is correctly operated and that the maintenance
operations outlined in this book are carried out regularly after the specified hours
of operation have been reached. We consider it to be in your interests to enlist the
aid of an authorized Ford Power Products Distributor not only when repairs are
required but also for regular maintenance. Distributors are listed at the back of this
handbook.
Regular maintenance will result in minimal operating costs.
Engines manufactured by Ford Motor Company are available through Ford Power
Products Distributors. When in need of parts or service, contact your local
Authorized Distributor. In overseas territories, in the event of difficulties,
communicate directly with the supervising Ford affiliated Company in your area
whose address appears at the end of this book.
Where the terms “Right” or “Left” occur in this publication, they refer to the
respective sides of the engine when viewed from the rear or flywheel end.
Pistons and valves are numbered from the front or timing cover end of the engine
commencing at No. 1.
You may find that your engine assembly includes optional equipment not
specifically covered in the following text. Nevertheless, the maintenance
procedures outlined in this book still apply to your engine
ENGINE IDENTIFICATION
Because Ford Power Products Operations markets such a wide range of industrial
gasoline and diesel engines - manufactured both in the U.S. and overseas - it is
important that you have as complete identification of the engine as possible in
order to provide the correct replacement parts. Review the list of Ford Power
Product distributors for a distributor in your area. You can obtain a standard parts
listing describing the parts. It remains a distributor function to identify the part
number.
The key to identifying the engine is the identification decal mounted on the engine
rocker cover. That decal provides not only the engine serial number, but also the
exact model or type, configuration code and customer name. The combination of
that data permits you to isolate the precise engine, build level and customer so you
can determine the correct replacement parts.

BEFORE OPERATING THE ENGINE
1. Before operating a new engine it should be thoroughly inspected to ensure that
during transit and installation it has not suffered damage likely to affect its
subsequent operation. Controls and instruments should be studied carefully in
order that their functions are thoroughly understood.
2. Check that the radiator (where applicable) is full and top off as necessary --
Refer to “Cooling System” on page 28 for recommended coolant mixtures.
3. In the case of marine/industrial engines, ensure that there is coolant in the
degas/expansion tank (where applicable).
CAUTION: Under no circumstances may the engine be started without liquid

in the cooling system.
4. Check the engine oil level and top up or fill as necessary -- Refer to “Check
Engine Oil Level” on page 23. For the correct type and grade of oil -- Refer to
“Recommended Lubricants” on page 21.
5. Ensure that the battery is fully charged and, if necessary, top up with distilled
water.
NOTE: Ensure that ALL wiring ground connections are properly made to a clean
point on the chassis/frame.
6. The engine must be started in accordance with the starting instructions -- Refer
to “STARTING THE ENGINE” on page 17.
OPERATING CONTROLS
Ignition or Isolation Switch
An ignition or isolation switch is usually fitted which connects the engine starter
motor and other electrical equipment to the battery. The switch can be moved to
any of the four positions shown by rotating the key. These positions are:
Off Run
Auxiliary Circuits Start
1. Auxiliary Circuits - When moved to this position the auxiliary electrical

equipment such as radios and heater fans, can be operated without also
connecting the starting circuit with the battery.
2. Off - When set to this position, the switch disconnects the auxiliary electrical
equipment and the starting circuit from the battery. The key can be removed
from the switch when it is in this position; this will help to prevent unauthorized
operation of the engine.
3. Run - This switch position connects the auxiliary circuits as described
previously, and the alternator is given initial excitation via the battery.
13
4. Start - In this position, the starter solenoid is energized and the starter motor
cranks the engine. The switch, when released, automatically returns to the RUN
position.
Safety Switch (where fitted)
A low oil pressure/high water temperature safety switch may be fitted. This
automatically shuts off the ignition when the oil pressure drops below a pre-set
value, or when the water temperature rises above a pre-set value. A button on the
instrument panel is used to override the safety switch when starting the engine.
The safety switch override button must be depressed to start the engine.
NOTE: With FPP ICM safety shut-down incorporated oil pressure below 6 psi and/
or coolant temperature goes above 250° F, will shut-down ignition system.
Corrective action must be taken and key recycled to restart.
Power Take-off (where fitted)
The power take-off control handle allows engagement and disengagement of the
power take-off clutch. Moving the lever towards the engine engages the clutch and
moving the lever away from the engine disengages the clutch.
When moving the handle to engage the clutch and pick up the load, do so in a
smooth manner. Moving the clutch handle too slowly will cause slippage and wear,
while moving it too fast will cause quick engagement and possible damage to the
power take-off, engine or driven equipment. The normal force required to engage
the clutch is 55 lbf (245 N) for the over-centre type and 25 lbf (110 N) for the spring
loaded type.
Throttle Control (where fitted)
The throttle control adjusts engine speed. Initial engine speed adjustment is
obtained by pressing the throttle control release button while pulling the throttle
knob out to increase the engine speed or pushing it in to decrease the engine
speed.
A final fine speed adjustment is obtained by turning the throttle control
counterclockwise to increase engine speed or clockwise to decrease engine
speed.
14
INSTRUMENTS
Your Ford Powered Equipment will have been fitted with instruments selected by
the manufacturer. The types of instruments most likely to be encountered are
detailed here. A typical instrument panel is shown below.
Ammeter Oil Pressure Gauge
Combined
Temp. Gauge
Tach/Hour Meter
Charge Indicator Light Safety Switch

Override Button
Engine Management
Fuel Select Switch
System Warning Light/
Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) Ignition or isolation Switch
Ammeter (Where Fitted)

This instrument registers the charging current which is being passed to the battery
from the alternator. It also registers a discharge equivalent to the amount of current
being used by the electrical equipment when the alternator is not charging.
Battery Condition Indicator (Where Fitted)
This is sometimes fitted instead of an ammeter and measures the battery voltage
thus indicating the state of charge of the battery.
Tachometer (Where Fitted)
The tachometer indicates the actual engine running speed in crankshaft
revolutions per minute.
Hourmeter (Where Fitted)
This instrument records the number of hours of operation which the engine has
completed at the rated rpm. It is frequently combined with the tachometer and is
used to determine when an engine service operation is required. If no hourmeter is
fitted, a log should be kept.
Oil Pressure Gauge (Where Fitted)
The oil pressure gauge registers the lubricating system pressure in bar (kgf/cm2 or
Ibf/in2) and should be frequently observed to ensure that the system is functioning
correctly.
15
Temperature Gauge (Where Fitted)
The temperature gauge enables a close check to be kept on the coolant
temperatures.
Malfunction Indicator Light (Where Fitted)
Used on all industrial engines. This light will illuminate whenever there is an engine
malfunction such as low oil pressure, high engine temperature, fuel injection
system fault. The engine can be programmed to shut down in the event of a
malfunction.
Charge Indicator Light (Where Fitted)
If an alternator is fitted to your engine, a charge indicator light will also be fitted. The
light will glow when the isolating switch is in the RUN position with the engine
stationary and will therefore serve as a reminder either to turn the isolating switch
to the OFF position or to start the engine. Once the engine has started, the charge
indicator light should cease glowing.
Safety Switch Override Button (Where Fitted)
This must be depressed when starting the engine, as the safety switch operates
when the oil pressure falls due to the engine stopping -- Refer to “Safety Switch
(where fitted)” on page 14.
Ignition or Isolation Switch
-- Refer to “Ignition or Isolation Switch” on page 13.
Fuel Select Switch (Where Fitted)
This switch is incorporated for use with dual fuels. Switch must point to selection of
fuel being used.
16
STARTING THE ENGINE
WARNING: ALL INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES GIVE OFF VARIOUS

FUMES AND GASES WHILE RUNNING. DO NOT START OR RUN THE
ENGINE IN A CLOSED OR POORLY VENTILATED BUILDING WHERE THE
EXHAUST GASES CAN ACCUMULATE. AVOID BREATHING THESE GASES
AS THEY MAY CONTAIN POISONOUS CARBON MONOXIDE WHICH CAN
ENDANGER YOUR HEALTH OR LIFE IF INHALED STEADILY FOR EVEN A
FEW MINUTES.
Initial Start-up
On initial start-up follow the daily regular maintenance schedule illustration -- Refer
to “RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES” on page 20.
To Start From cold
1. Where possible, disconnect the driven equipment, eg, fully depress the clutch
where a manual transmission is fitted.
If your unit is equipped with the engine warning light system, always turn the
ignition switch to the ON position to make sure that each warning light is
operating before starting engine.
2. Switch on the ignition and operate the starter motor until the engine fires.
NOTE: Where a safety switch is fitted, the override button must be depressed while
the engine is being cranked.
3. Set the throttle to give a fast idle speed until normal operating temperature is
reached (where fitted).
CAUTION: If the engine stalls or falters in starting, wait 3-4 seconds before
re-engaging starter. This will prevent possible damage to the starter or en-
gine. The starter should not operate for periods longer than 30 seconds at a
time. An interval of at least two minutes should be observed between such
cranking periods to protect the starter from overheating.
To Re-start When Warm

Switch on the ignition and operate the starter motor until the engine starts.
NOTE: Safety shut-down incorporated in the Ignition Performance Module (IPM):
Oil pressure below 6 psi and/or coolant temperature goes above 250°F, will shut-
down the ignition system.
NOTE: The IPM will also shut the engine off when engine speed reaches 2250 rpm
for Gen-Set and 4000 rpm for all other applications. Key must be recycled to
restart.
NOTE: Where a safety switch is fitted, the override button must be depressed while
the engine is being cranked.
17
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Normal Conditions
Following normal operating conditions, lower the engine speed to idle, disengage
the clutch, and then turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. If the engine has
been running under high power, let it run at fast idle speed a few minutes to cool
the engine down.
Abnormal Conditions
Under abnormally overheated conditions, the engine may continue to run after the
ignition switch is turned off. If this case is ever encountered, turn on the ignition
switch immediately and allow the engine to idle until it has cooled enough to stop.
If the engine is overheated due to loss of coolant, it is best to stop the engine
immediately, if necessary by applying the load. Add engine oil if necessary, then
after the engine has returned to a normal temperature, add coolant slowly until the
radiator is full.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY WHEN CHECKING A HOT

ENGINE. COVER THE RADIATOR CAP IN A THICK CLOTH AND TURN IT
SLOWLY COUNTERCLOCKWISE TO THE FIRST STOP. AFTER THE
PRESSURE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY RELEASED, PRESS THE CAP

NOTE: Ford Power Products industrial

engines are designed to perform with
engine oils that are licensed by the
American Petroleum Institute (API), and oils carrying the most current API
classification should be used. API classifications are broken into two categories,
gasoline and diesel engines. API’s classification is designated by a two letter
system. The first letter, the prefix, designates gasoline or diesel. An “S’’ designates
gasoline and a “C’’ designates diesel. The second letter in the system designates
the level of the classification. It should be noted that alternative fuel engines fall into
the “gasoline’’ API category.
Gasoline engines that are converted for LPG or Natural Gas applications must use
oils labeled SH and/or SJ. Do not use oils that are specifically formulated for Diesel
Engines only. CC or CD classification, even when labeled Heavy Duty or for
Natural Gas Engines, are not acceptable. The use of SAE 5W-20 is recommended
for all temperatures:

dipstick higher mark with an
approved type and grade of oil.
5. Replace the dipstick, ensuring that it is fully inserted into its tube to maintain a
sealed crankcase condition
Renew Engine Oil Filter
CAUTION: The original oil filter is not available for service. Use the recom-
mended Motorcraft FL-820S.
Your engine is equipped with a Motorcraft

oil filter. A filter of this quality should be used
throughout the life of the engine. It is
designed to protect your engine by filtering
harmful abrasive and sludgy particles
without clogging up or blocking the flow of
the oil to vital engine parts. This filter is
especially designed for use in engines built
by Ford to give successful operation with
the recommended oil filter change intervals.
Contact your nearest Ford Power Product
Distributor/Dealer listed in the back section
to obtain the correct filter. Before
commencing, place a drain pan beneath the
filter to catch any spilt oil.
1. Using a suitable strap wrench, unscrew the oil filter canister.
2. Thoroughly clean oil filter housing face.
3. Partly pre-fill the new filter with clean engine oil of the correct type and grade.
Apply a thin film of clean engine oil to the oil filter sealing ring.
4. Screw on new oil filter canister until sealing ring abuts the filter head and tighten
a further 1/2 turn. Do NOT use a strap wrench or similar tool to tighten the filter
canister.
5. Run engine and check for any leaks from oil filter.
6. Stop engine, allow oil to settle and top up as necessary.

Ignition System
The 6.8L engine is equipped with a coil-on-plug ignition system. Rather than a
remotely mounted coil with secondary ignition wires, this system has a separate
ignition coil mounted on each spark plug. Operation of the coils is controlled by the
ignition control module (ICM), which computes ignition timing based on inputs from
engine sensors.
Renew Spark Plugs
WARNING: THE IGNITION SYSTEM COMMONLY CARRIES VOLTAGES IN

EXCESS OF 30,000 VOLTS. PLEASE USE CAUTION.
CAUTION: Do not pull directly on the lead as this could cause the wire con-
nection inside the boot to become separated.

Electronic Actuator
In the event that your engine is equipped with an electronic actuator, any
necessary adjustment should be made by your Power Products Distributor listed at
the back of this manual. The adjusting procedure requires the use of tools which
are not readily available to consumers
Check Condition of Ancillary Drive Belts
WARNING: ENGINE SHOULD BE STOPPED AND ANY REMOTE STARTER

DISABLED BEFORE CHECKING BELTS.
The serpentine ancillary belt used to drive the generator and water pump, is
tensioned automatically and does not require adjustment.
The belts should be visually inspected for signs of wear or damage. It should be
renewed if necessary. Refer to Service Manual.
NOTE: May be purchased from your local Ford Power Product Distributor listed on
the back of this handbook.
Check Engine Coolant Level
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY WHEN CHECKING A HOT

ENGINE. COVER THE RADIATOR CAP WITH A THICK CLOTH AND TURN IT
SLOWLY COUNTER-CLOCKWISE TO THE FIRST STOP. AFTER THE
PRESSURE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY RELEASED, PRESS DOWNWARD
AND FINISH REMOVING CAP. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE COOLING SYSTEM OR ENGINE AND/
OR PERSONAL INJURY.
CAUTION: Do not add coolant to an engine that has become overheated until
the engine cools. Adding coolant to an extremely hot engine can result in a
cracked block or cylinder head.
1. Allow the engine to cool down to 40°C (110°F).

2. Turn the radiator expansion/degas tank filler cap through 90° in a counter-
clockwise direction. Pause to allow any pressure to drop, then turn cap fully
counterclockwise and remove it.
3. The quantity of coolant in the expansion/degas tank is a direct indication of the
coolant level in the complete system. The acceptable level of coolant in the
expansion/degas tank is shown by the level indicators moulded into the tank
wall. Top up as necessary with a mixture of plain water and antifreeze -- Refer
to “Cooling System” on page 28 for information on mixing antifreeze solutions.
NOTE: It is essential that only the correct type of antifreeze is used -- Refer to
“Cooling System” on page 28.
4. Replace the filter cap and turn down tightly.
26
Renew Air Cleaner Element
Your air cleaner filters air entering the engine induction system and acts as a
silencer and a flame arrester. Air that contains dirt and grit produces an abrasive
fuel mixture, and can cause severe damage to the cylinder walls and piston rings.
Damage to the cylinder walls and piston rings will cause high oil consumption and
short engine life. A restricted or dirty air cleaner will also cause a rich fuel mixture.
Thus, it is extremely important that the air cleaner be serviced at recommended
intervals.
CAUTION: Service the air cleaner more frequently under severe dust condi-
tions to prevent engine damage.
1. Release the air cleaner lid retaining hardware.

2. Lift the air cleaner lid clear of the air cleaner body, then remove the air cleaner
element and discard it.
3. Wipe the inside of the air cleaner body and lid clean, using a lint-free rag.
4. Insert the new element, ensuring that it fits properly and install air cleaner lid.
Renew PCV Valve
1. Detach the hose, from the top of the Connector & Hose
PCV valve located at the top rear of
right valve cover and from the intake
manifold. PCV Valve
2. Withdraw the PCV valve from the
valve cover grommet.
3. Discard the PCV valve and the ‘O’
ring.
4. Thoroughly clean the inside and
outside of the hose.
5. Insert the new PCV valve, complete with a new ‘O’ ring.
6. Re-connect the hose to the PCV valve and to the intake manifold.
27
GENERAL MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
The following section outlines some aspects of general maintenance which will be
of value to the operator.
Cooling System
To obtain maximum engine service life, its operating temperature must be
maintained by an efficient cooling system.
CAUTION: Under no circumstances should the engine be started without liq-

uid in the cooling system. This may cause permanent damage to the engine.
Inspect the exterior of the radiator for obstructions, remove all bugs, dirt or foreign
material with a soft brush or cloth.
Use care to avoid damaging the fins. If available, use low pressure compressed air
or a stream of water in the opposite direction to normal airflow. Check all hoses and
connections for leaks. If any of the hoses are cracked, frayed, or feel spongy, they
should be replaced.
CAUTION: Never use a cold coolant mixture to top-up the radiator or degas
tank of a hot engine if the coolant level is very low; this could cause serious
engine damage.
The radiator or degas tank is equipped with a pressure cap. It is dangerous to

remove this when the system is very hot.
WARNING: NEVER REMOVE THE PRESSURE RELIEF CAP WHILE THE

ENGINE IS OPERATING OR WHEN THE COOLING SYSTEM IS HOT. MAY
CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO COOLING SYSTEM OR
ENGINE. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF HAVING SCALDING HOT COOLANT OR
STEAM BLOW OUT OF THE DEGAS BOTTLE WHEN REMOVING THE
PRESSURE RELIEF CAP, WAIT UNTIL THE ENGINE HAS COOLED DOWN TO
AT LEAST 40°C (110°F).
1. Wrap a thick cloth around the pressure relief cap and turn it slowly one-half turn
counterclockwise. Stepping back while the pressure is released from the
cooling system.
2. When you are sure all the pressure has been released, (still with a cloth) turn
counterclockwise and remove the pressure relief cap.
In territories where freezing conditions may occur, the coolant should consist of a
mixture of 50% plain water and 50% Motorcraft Super Plus 2000 coolant. This
antifreeze contains additional corrosion inhibitors designed to provide lasting
protection for the engine.
Only this antifreeze, or proprietary antifreeze meeting Ford specification WSS-
M97B44-D or Ford specification ESE-M97B44-A should be used when topping-up
or re-filling the cooling system.
Motorcraft Super Plus 2000 coolant has long life characteristics and if the
concentration is kept to a maximum of 50% it will provide adequate frost protection
and inhibiting for the life of the engine.
28
NOTE: If a major component of the cooling system is renewed such as the
radiator, water pump etc., the system should be flushed and re-filled with a 50%
solution of Motorcraft Super Plus 2000 coolant and clean water.
In territories where the ambient temperature is such that no protection against
freezing is required, it is recommended that a 25% concentration of Motorcraft
Super Plus 2000 coolant is used. This will protect water pumps, core plugs,
thermostat housings and radiators against corrosion for the life of the engine and
raise boiling point when used at this concentration. See previous Note on renewing
cooling system components.
The antifreeze concentration in a cooling system can be determined by using a
suitable hydrometer.
• A reading of 1080 represents a 50% antifreeze concentration.
• A reading of 1040 represents a 25% antifreeze concentration.
• A reading of 1000 represents plain water.
WARNING: ANTIFREEZE CONTAINS MONO ETHYLENE GLYCOL AND

OTHER CONSTITUENTS WHICH ARE TOXIC IF TAKEN INTERNALLY AND
CAN BE ABSORBED IN TOXIC AMOUNTS ON REPEATED OR PROLONGED
SKIN CONTACT. PERSONS USING ANTIFREEZE ARE RECOMMENDED TO
ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS:
• ANTIFREEZE MUST NEVER BE TAKEN INTERNALLY. IF ANTIFREEZE IS
SWALLOWED ACCIDENTALLY, MEDICAL ADVICE SHOULD BE SOUGHT
IMMEDIATELY.
• PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID SKIN CONTACT WITH
ANTIFREEZE. IN THE EVENT OF ACCIDENTAL SPILLAGE ONTO THE
SKIN, ANTIFREEZE SHOULD BE WASHED OFF AS SOON AS
PRACTICABLE. IF CLOTHING IS SPLASHED WITH ANTIFREEZE, IT
SHOULD BE REMOVED AND WASHED BEFORE BEING WORN AGAIN, TO
AVOID PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT.
• FOR REGULAR AND FREQUENT HANDLING OF ANTIFREEZE,
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING (PLASTIC OR RUBBER GLOVES, BOOTS AND
IMPERVIOUS OVERALLS OR APRONS) MUST BE USED TO MINIMIZE
SKIN CONTACT.
29
Draining, Flushing and Filling the Cooling System
WARNING: NEVER REMOVE THE PRESSURE

RELIEF CAP WHILE THE ENGINE IS Radiator Drain Cock
OPERATING OR WHEN THE COOLING
SYSTEM IS HOT. MAY CAUSE PERSONAL
INJURY OR DAMAGE TO COOLING SYSTEM
OR ENGINE. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
HAVING SCALDING HOT COOLANT OR
STEAM BLOW OUT OF THE DEGAS BOTTLE
WHEN REMOVING THE PRESSURE RELIEF FPP01111
CAP, WAIT UNTIL THE ENGINE HAS COOLED
DOWN TO AT LEAST 40°C (110°F).
1. Wrap a thick cloth around the pressure relief cap and turn it slowly one-half turn
counterclockwise. Stepping back while the pressure is released from the
cooling system.
2. When you are sure all the pressure has been released, (still with a cloth) turn
counterclockwise and remove the pressure relief cap.
3. Remove the radiator expansion/ degas tank filler cap, then open the radiator
drain cock, where fitted, or detach the bottom radiator hose.
4. Flush the system with water using a hose until clean water emerges and allow
all water to drain out. Close the drain cock (or replace the bottom radiator hose).
Recover all old antifreeze and dispose of properly. Contact your local municipal
government for the proper disposal.
5. Fill the system with the correct coolant mixture via the expansion/degas tank
filler neck. Fill the system slowly, to avoid air locks, up to the ‘maximum’ mark
on the degas tank.
6. Run engine and check hose connections for leaks. Check, and, if necessary,
top up the coolant in the radiator or degas tank.
Engine Lubrication System
The lubrication system should be maintained Dipstick
regularly -- Refer to “RECOMMENDED
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES” on page 20,
with the correct grade of lubricant as specified
in the maintenance summary -- Refer to
“Recommended Lubricants” on page 21. The
system is of the force feed type, the lubricating
oil being circulated to the engine bearings
under pressure by an oil pump driven from the
camshaft drive chain belt.
The dipstick provides some guide to the
condition of the oil. An additive type of oil keeps
soot in suspension, and even a small amount
of soot causes the oil to darken rapidly.
However, if the dipstick is found to be heavily coated with sludge, then obviously
the oil should be changed.
