208 Maintenance POWER STEERING FLUID CHECK WARNING: For E-350 and E-450 vehicles with the Hydro-Boost Brake System, do not press the brake pedal after the engine has been turned off. Pressing the brake pedal after the engine has been turned off will give a false power steering fluid level reading. Note: Do not operate the vehicle with a low power steering pump fluid level (if the fluid level is below the MIN line on the reservoir). Note: Do not fill the power steering pump reservoir above the MAX line, as this may result in leaks from the reservoir. Check the power steering fluid at the appropriate intervals. Refer to the scheduled maintenance information. 1. Start the engine and let it run until it reaches normal operating temperature. 2. While the engine idles, turn the steering wheel left and right several times. 3. Turn the engine off. 4. Check the fluid level in the reservoir. It should be between the MIN and MAX lines on the reservoir. Do not add fluid if the level is in this range. 5. If the fluid is low, add fluid in small amounts, continuously checking the level until it reaches the range between the MIN and MAX lines. Be sure to put the cap back on the reservoir. Refer to the technical specifications table in the Capacities and Specifications chapter for the proper fluid type. FUEL FILTER Your vehicle is equipped with a lifetime fuel filter that is integrated with the fuel tank. Regular maintenance or replacement is not needed. WASHER FLUID CHECK WARNING: If you operate your vehicle in temperatures below 40°F (5°C), use washer fluid with antifreeze protection. Failure to use washer fluid with antifreeze protection in cold weather could result in impaired windshield vision and increase the risk of injury or accident. 2014 Econoline (eco) Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing, November 2012 USA (fus)
