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 counterclockwise 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
