3.2 Engine Cooling
3.2.1 Auxiliary Heater Systems
WARNINGS:
Ford coolant additives are necessary for
the complete function of the system. Only
use Ford approved or equivalent
specification component, to withstand
any detrimental effects on the materials.
Do not mount components in front of the
grille or in an area of air flow around the
engine, which could affect the engine
cooling.
CAUTIONS:
Only make connections into the heater
hose between the front cab heater and
water pump return inlet.
Do not exceed the vehicle's original
coolant volume by more than 10%.
Only use the manufacturer recommended
(or equivalent specification) coolant
additives/anti-freeze. Do not mix coolant
types.
•
Coolant flow to cab heater must have priority
over flow to auxiliary heater or hand wash
facility.
•
Coolant tube routing must be below the
minimum line of the degas bottle.
•
Use aluminum or plastic 'T' junction with
swaged or beaded ends to prevent hose blow
off. Reconnect original coolant tube as shown
in view E74570 (in this section) with standard
Ford water hose clip or suitable equivalent
specification clip. Ensure interference fit
between hose and 'T' joint.
•
Tube routing must be secured to the body
structure or suitable brackets avoiding electrical
components or wires, hot or moving parts and
brake or fuel system components.
•
Hose must be heat sleeved with appropriate
material if within 100mm of exhaust
components (for example, manifold or exhaust
gas recirculating).
•
The vertical clearance between the critical
cooling components (radiator, fan shroud and
radiator brackets) and both the hood inner and
outer (assembly) panels at design position shall
not be less than 15mm.
•
There shall be a minimum clearance of 7mm
between the engine assembly and flexible
components (for example, hoses or wiring
harnesses) affixed to front end sheet metal
hardware, under a maximum engine torque roll
condition.
