A typical instrument panel is shown below. Ammeter (Where Fitted) This instrument registers the charging current which is being passed to the battery from the alternator. -
Page 15: Temperature Gauge (Where Fitted)
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. -
Page 16: Starting The Engine
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. -
Page 17: Stopping The Engine
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. -
Page 18: Fuel Recommendation
FUEL RECOMMENDATION This engine is designed to operate on dry fuel such as LPG Grade HD5 or NG (1050 BTU/ft^ CAUTION: Use of fuels rated lower than the grades specified above may cause persistent, heavy spark knock, which can lead to engine damage. If your engine knocks heavily, or if you hear continuous spark knock while maintaining constant operating speeds, consult your distributor or another qualified technician. -
Page 19: Recommended Maintenance Schedules
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE Check engine oil level and top up if necessary Check engine coolant level and top up if necessary with correct mixture Check visually for oil, fuel or coolant leaks Check all instruments, controls and warning lights.

Page 23: Ignition System
Ignition System The 6.2L 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 engine computer module (GCP), which computes ignition timing based on inputs from engine sensors. - Page 24 WARNING: PROTECTIVE GOGGLES MUST BE WORN TO PROTECT THE EYES WHEN USING COMPRESSED AIR. 4. Check the gaps of the new spark plugs with a feeler gauge, and, where necessary, bend the outer ground extension to achieve the specified gap. 5.

Damage to the cylinder walls and piston rings will cause high oil consumption and short engine life. -
Page 27: General Maintenance Information
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 liquid in the cooling system. - Page 28 antifreeze contains additional corrosion inhibitors designed to provide lasting protection for the engine. Only this antifreeze, or proprietary antifreeze meeting Ford specification WSSM97B44- 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.
