Safety and
emergency
equipmentBefore entering the cab, verify that the vehicle is
equipped with spare electrical fuses (if used),
three red reflective triangles, a properly charged
and rated fire extinguisher and wheel chocks.
Walk around the vehicle and verify all steps and
grab handles, inside and out (as well as behind),
are tight and clean. Use extreme caution and a
three-point stance at all times.
Inspect door latches for proper closing, latching
and locking.
Starting the
engineSet the parking brake. If starting a vehicle with a
manual transmission, press the clutch and verify
the transmission is in neutral. If starting a vehicle
with an automatic transmission, make sure the
gearshift lever is in positionNorP(if equipped
with a park position).
Diesel engine:Turn the key to the on position.
Turn the key to start when the wait to start
indicator light in the instrument cluster turns off.
Gasoline engine:Turn the key to start, and
then release it as soon as the engine starts.
Engine oil
pressureVerify pressure builds to normal operating range.
Low air pressure
warning tone (if
equipped with an
air compressor)A tone indicating low air pressure should sound
immediately after the engine starts but before the
compressor has built-up pressure. The tone
should stop when the air pressure reaches 70 psi
(483 kPa) (or more). Let the air pressure build
to governed cutout pressure, which should occur
between 115–130 psi (793–896 kPa).
AcceleratorPress the accelerator and verify that it operates
smoothly, without any binding or irregular feel.
Release the pedal and verify the engine returns
to idle speed immediately.
VoltmeterCheck the gauge (diesel engine) or indicator light

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (diesel engine only)
It illuminates when the diesel exhaust fluid level falls below
0.5 gallons (1.9L) in the 5- gallon (19.0L) tank or one gallon
(3.8L) in the 9-gallon (34.0L) tank. Refill the tank or, at a
minimum, add at least one gallon (3.8L) to the 5- gallon (19.0L) tank or
two gallons (7.6L) to the 9- gallon (34.0L) tank.
Diesel Particulate Filter (diesel engine only)
It illuminates when the soot level in the diesel particulate filter
has reached a point where it requires operator assistance. See
Diesel particulate filterin theMaintenancechapter, and your
engine operator’s manual, for more details.
Do Not Shift (Allison automatic transmission only)
It illuminates while driving if a transmission problem exists;
shifting may be restricted. Depending on the severity of the
problem, the shifter’s digital read-out may turn blank.
Operation may continue in order to reach service assistance. The control
unit may not respond to shift selector requests, since there are operating
limitations on the transmission (such as. upshift and downshift
restrictions). Direction changes do not occur.
Direction Indicator
It illuminates when you turn on the left or right turn signal or
the hazard warning flasher. If the indicators stay on or flash
faster, check for a burned out bulb.

Note:Do not increase engine speed until the oil pressure gauge
indicates normal pressure. The oil pressure gauge should indicate this
within 15 seconds after starting.
Note:Idle the engine for three to five minutes before operating with a
full load.
Note:Try to limit engine idle to 10 minutes. Excessive idling reduces
fuel economy.
Vehicles with a Manual Transmission
Note:Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
1. Fully press the clutch pedal.
2. Start the engine.
Vehicles with an Automatic Transmission
Note:Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
1. Select positionN,orP(if equipped with a Park position).
2. Fully press the brake pedal.
3. Start the engine.
Starting the Engine with the Vehicle on a Steep Grade
When starting a diesel engine when the loaded vehicle is on a grade, the
engine RPM starts to fall slightly when you engage the clutch. Do not
disengage the clutch and try to increase engine RPM as this may damage
driveline components. The engine recovers as the vehicle begins moving.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
WARNING:The normal operating temperature of the exhaust
system is very high. Never work around, or attempt to repair, any
part of the exhaust system until it has cooled. Use special care when
working around the diesel particulate filter. The DPF heats up to a high
temperature after only a short period of engine operation, and can
remain hot even after the engine is turned off. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in serious personal injury.
Your vehicle is equipped with a diesel particulate filter (DPF), as part of
the after-treatment exhaust system, to trap soot and other large particles
produced by the engine combustion process. You must periodically
reduce the soot that accumulates in the filter to prevent excessive
exhaust restriction. The engine and after-treatment system generally
perform the soot reduction process, also known as “filter regeneration,”
automatically.

3. Do not press the accelerator pedal, service brake pedal, or clutch
pedal (manual transmission).
4. The parking brake must remain set.
On average, depending on filter level and other factors, the process takes
20–30 minutes to complete. The DPF lamp turns off when the process is
complete. Repeat Steps 1–5, if parked regeneration is interrupted.
To Discontinue Parked Regeneration
Press any of the floor pedals to discontinue parked regeneration.
Maintenance and Service
The DPF can retain a relatively large amount of residual ash and provide
many miles and hours of maintenance-free operation. At some point,
generally beyond 150000 miles (240000 kilometers) or 5000 hours of
operation (whichever comes first), the DPF requires professional
cleaning to remove the accumulated ash.
The exact number of miles or hours of operation vary greatly depending
upon vehicle and engine loading and operating conditions, ash content of
the engine oil, and quality of the diesel fuel used in your truck. Adhering
to your engine manufacturer’s recommended oil and fuel specifications
maximizes the miles and hours of operation before a DPF professional
cleaning is required. See your engine manufacturer’s owner’s manual for
more details about recommended maintenance and service of your DPF.
Exhaust Outlet Assembly
WARNING:The normal operating temperature of the exhaust
system is very high. Never work around or attempt to repair any
part of the exhaust system until it has cooled. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in serious personal injury.
Note:Do not modify or remove this device. Modification of the system
or additions of aftermarket devices can reduce the effectiveness of the
system, as well as cause damage to the exhaust system or engine. Any
modifications may also invalidate the vehicle or engine warranty. See
your warranty information.
Note:Blocked or plugged holes or modification to, or removal of, the
outlet assembly could result in elevated exhaust temperatures that may
result in vehicle or property damage or personal injury.
The exhaust outlet assembly on your vehicle is a uniquely functioning
device that accompanies the DPF assembly. It can help control the
temperature of the exhaust during the DPF regeneration process.

•DEF freezes below 12°F (-11°C). Your vehicle is equipped with an
automatic pre-heating system which allows the DEF system to
operate below 12°F (-11°C).
•Do not store the DEF bottle in your vehicle. If it leaks, it could cause
damage to interior components or release an ammonia odor inside
your vehicle.
•Store DEF out of direct sunlight and in temperatures between
23°F–68°F (-5°C–20°C).
NOISE EMISSIONS
In order to keep to the federal exterior noise regulations, your vehicle
may be equipped with noise emission items. Depending on your vehicle
configuration, it may have all or some of the following items:
Air Intake System:Inspect the air cleaner. Do not alter its location. Do
not alter inlet and outlet piping.
Body:Inspect wheel well splash shields, cab shields and under hood
insulation for deterioration, dislocation and orientation.
Cooling System:
•Inspect the fan for blade damage. If you find any damage, replace
with the recommended parts. Inspect for fan-to-shroud interference
and any damage to shroud, such as cracks and holes.
•Do not change fan ratio or alter fan spacer dimensions and positions.
•Inspect fan clutch for proper operation. Make sure the fan is
disengaged when cooling of the engine is not required.
•Inspect radiator shutters (if equipped) for proper operation. The
shutters should be open during normal operating temperatures.
Engine:Valve covers and block covers damp-out engine mechanical
noise. If they need replacing, make sure to replace them with the
recommended parts. Check for mechanical isolations.
Transmission Enclosure:Inspect for cracks, holes and tears. Clean any
deposits, such as oil, dirt and stones.
Exhaust System:
•Inspect for leaks at various joint connections and loose clamps.
•
Perform a visual inspection for cracks or holes in the muffler and tail pipe.
•Always use the recommended replacement parts.
•Do not change the tail pipe elbow or offset tail pipe orientation from the
standard position as originally received.
•To avoid abnormal changes in vehicle sound levels, it is necessary for the
owner to perform inspections and necessary maintenance at the intervals
shown in theScheduled Maintenancechapter.

If you install an electrical back up alarm, connect it to the backup lamp
circuit.
Parking
WARNING: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.
Always use the parking brake. When parking on a grade, block the
wheels and turn the front wheels to one side so that if your vehicle rolls,
the front tires act against the curb to stop your vehicle. The front wheels
are more effective at stopping a rolling vehicle than the rear wheels.
Cold Weather
Note:Idling in cold weather does not heat the engine to its normal
operating temperature. Long periods of idling in cold weather can cause
a build-up of heavy deposits of carbon and rust on valve stems causing
them to stick which, in turn, can cause valvetrain damage.
Note:We recommend against using winter fronts, or other air-restrictive
devices mounted in front of the radiator on vehicles with
chassis-mounted charge air coolers, unless extremely cold weather
conditions exist. Airflow 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 square inches (774 square centimeters) directly in line with
the fan hub.
For best engine operation in temperatures of 32°F (0°C) or lower:
•Make sure the batteries are the correct type and are fully charged.
Check other electrical components to make sure they are in optimum
condition.
•Use a permanent-type engine coolant 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.
•Use the proper engine oil and maintain it at its proper level.

Perform a complete inspection of the air induction system annually.
In areas where road salt is used, disassemble the joints of each aluminum
component and inspect for salt build-up and presence of chlorine that
can cause aluminum particles to flake off and enter the engine
combustion chambers. If evidence of corrosion is found (usually at the
pipe connections), use a wire brush to clean the inside of the pipes and
inside the rubber hoses.
If pitting is evident at the joint ends of the intake pipes, use Motorcraft
Silicone Gasket and Sealant TA-30 to seal the joints. Make sure no
excess material, which can pull into the engine, is on the inside of the
pipes. If the service condition of the pipes, hoses or clamps is
questionable, replace the defective part(s).
Make sure to clean all dust and debris out of the pipes and couplings
with a clean, damp rag before reassembly.
Chassis-mounted Charge Air Cooler
Visually inspect the core assembly for debris and clogging of external fins
with the engine off. Before engine operation, remove any debris blocking
the core.
•Turbocharger-to-charge air cooler
•Charge air cooler-to-intake manifold pipe
•Mounting bracket
•Chassis-mounted charge air cooler core
Inspect air intake piping:
•Check for accumulation of salt deposits (where applicable). If
present, disassemble and clean the complete air intake piping system.
If pitting is evident on the intake piping, use Motorcraft Silicone
Gasket and Sealant TA-30 to seal joints against leakage.
•Check for loose hoses and clamps.
•Check for ruptured or collapsed hoses.
•Check air cleaner housing for cracks.
Suspension Inspection
Note:Do not adjust air suspension height to any setting other than the
specified setting. Altering the height setting changes the driveline angle
and may result in unwarrantable component damage, such as
transmission component damage.
Verify drive axle air suspension height and height control valve
performance at engine oil change intervals.
