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.
