Maintenance and Specifications Tampering with noise control system prohibited Federal law prohibits the following acts or the causing thereof: (1) The removal or rendering inoperative by any person other than for purposes of maintenance, repair or replacement of any device or element of design incorporated into any new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use, or (2) the use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any person. Among those acts which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency may presume to constitute tampering are the acts listed below: • Removal of hood blanket, fender apron absorbers, fender apron barriers, underbody noise shields or acoustically absorptive material. • Tampering or rendering inoperative the engine speed governor, so as to allow engine speed to exceed manufacturer's specifications. The complexity of the diesel engine makes it so the owner is discouraged from attempting to perform maintenance other than the services described in this supplement. If you experience difficult starting, rough idling, excessive exhaust smoke, a decrease in engine performance or excess fuel consumption, perform the following checks: • a plugged air inlet system or engine air filter element. • water in the fuel filter/water separator. • a clogged fuel filter. • contaminated fuel. • air in the fuel system, due to loose connections. • an open or pinched sensor hose. • low engine oil level. • wrong fuel or oil viscosity for climactic conditions. If these checks do not help you correct the engine performance problem you are experiencing, consult an authorized dealer. FUELING Do not use starting fluid such as ether or gasoline in the diesel air intake system. Such fluids can cause immediate explosive damage to the engine and possible personal injury. 44 2006 Econoline (eco) Supplement USA (fus)
