Operation
Running in.
There are no strict running in rules for the Ford XLD 418T diesel engine. However, do not treat it harshly
during the first fifty hours running. Avoid consistently high speeds above 3500 rpm but do not let the
engine labour. There should always be a positive response from the throttle. Select the right gear for the
job. Be prepared to reduce your working speed if necessary. Check the instruments frequently and keep
the coolant and oil filled to their recommended levels on a daily basis.
After the running in period speeds should be progressively increased up to maximum performance.
The
engine should not be run continually above 4000 rpm and should never exceed 4500 rpm
(3600
rpm if fitted with high power PTO system - see appendices) or damage to the hydraulic system may
result.
After completing the first 50 hours running, carry out the maintenance instructions summarised in the
maintenance section of this manual.
Handbrake
Situated at left hand side of cab floor.
This should not be applied,
other than in an emergency,
whilst
the vehicle is in motion
or transmission damage may result. A visual warning illuminates on the ICM
monitor (see following pages) when the handbrake is applied and an audible alarm will sound if the
machine is moved whilst it is still applied.
Starting engine
Ensure PTO is disengaged before starting. Depress the clutch and accelerator pedal, turn the ignition
switch to the centre position and wait until the ‘glow plug’ warning light on the ICM goes out (approx. 2-20
seconds depending on ambient temperature). Crank the engine by turning the key fully clockwise.
Release key when engine starts. If it does not start within 20 seconds or starts and then stops, return the
key to the off position, wait a few seconds and then repeat the above procedure.
After starting the engine allow it to idle for a few seconds to allow oil to reach the turbo-charger.
Avoid high engine revs until the engine and hydraulic system have warmed up.
The first position on the ignition switch powers accessories only such as the Radio.
Stopping engine
To stop engine turn key anticlockwise.
Allow engine to slow idle for a minute or so before stopping
particularly if you have been running at high engine revs. If the engine stalls at any point, try to restart
immediately.
