ACTION: Refer to the following Steering Stop Bolt Setting Chart, Figure 1, for the updated settings. Refer to Figure 2 for the mounting styles available. Figure 1 - Article 94-3-10 Figure 2 - Article 94-3-10 OTHER APPLICABLE ARTICLES: NONE SUPERSEDES: 93-25-15 WARRANTY STATUS: INFORMATION ONLY OASIS CODES: 303000, 390000 94-3, Publication Date: FEBRUARY 9, 1994 MEDIUM/HEAVY TRUCK: 1992-94 CARGO SERIES, F & B SERIES, L SERIES ISSUE: Slow acceleration from a dead stop may be caused by inadequate fuel/air supply or insufficient boost pressure. ACTION: Use the following procedure to diagnose and correct vehicles that exhibit this condition. NOTE: THIS PROCEDURE ONLY ADDRESSES VEHICLES WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THAT EXHIBIT SLOW RESPONSE TO THROTTLE INPUT FROM A DEAD STOP. DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 1. Check to make sure the engine is getting full fuel and air. a. Carefully inspect the vehicle air cleaner for restriction; turbo outlet and charge air inlet (CAC) hoses and clamps for damage or looseness. b. Check fuel lines/hoses for crimping or other damage. c. Check the Boost Control Device (BCD) line for a leak or obstruction. 2. Verify that the vehicle has clean #2 diesel or appropriate winter blend fuel. (#1 diesel fuel significantly reduces engine performance.) Confirm that the fuel filter is not plugged. 3. Verify proper throttle and transmission modulator adjustment. The engine must reach (or exceed) the no load governed speed with the transmission in NEUTRAL and the accelerator pedal fully depressed. a. Refer to the following No Load Governed Speed Chart. b. With the engine running, the throttle lever on the injection pump must reach its "stop" with the pedal fully depressed. See Section 10.02 in the applicable service manual for the complete throttle/transmission modulator adjustment procedures. 4. After verifying/correcting the above, perform a "STALL CHECK" as follows: a. Install a boost gauge in the intake manifold, "After" the Charge-Air-Cooler (CAC). b. If the vehicle is not equipped with a tachometer, temporarily install one. c. Set brakes and chock the wheels. d. Operate the vehicle until the transmission fluid temperature is at least 180° F (82° C). If the vehicle is not equipped with a transmission temperature gauge, perform two (2) 30 second duration Stall Checks (described later in this article) to warm up the fluid. NOTE: ALLOW 30 SECONDS OF HIGH NEUTRAL IDLE BETWEEN STALL CHECKS TO ASSURE TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURES DO NOT EXCEED DESIGN MAXIMUM. WARNING: NEVER MAINTAIN A STALL FOR MORE THAN 30 SECONDS OR TRANSMISSION DAMAGE MAY OCCUR. IF CONVERTER/TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE EXCEEDS 250° F (121° C), RUN THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL AT 1200 TO 1500 RPM UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION COOLS. STALL CHECK 1. With foot on brake and all personnel clear from the vehicle, place the transmission in DRIVE. Allow the engine RPM to stabilize at idle (about 750 RPM). 2. Fully depress the throttle pedal. Use a stopwatch to time how long it takes for the engine to reach 1600 RPM from the time the accelerator pedal is fully depressed. Record this time. 3. Repeat the above procedure three times and average. NOTE: ALLOW 30 SECONDS OF HIGH NEUTRAL IDLE BETWEEN STALL CHECKS TO ASSURE TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURES DO NOT EXCEED DESIGN MAXIMUM. 4. Calculate averages as follows: (Time 1 + Time 2 + Time 3 = Total Time); (Total Time divided by 3 = Average Time) 5. After the third run, maintain full throttle until the engine speed stabilizes at the torque converter full stall speed. Record the engine RPM and the intake manifold boost pressure. WARNING: NEVER MAINTAIN A STALL FOR MORE THAN 30 SECONDS. 6. The average time for the engine RPM to reach 1600 RPM should be six seconds or less. BOOST PRESSURE The boost pressure at full converter stall should be about 85% of the full boost pressure specification values listed in the following Full Boost Pressure Specifications Chart. An optional test is to check for full boost. To check for full boost, the boost pressure must be recorded with the engine at "full load", the engine at rated speed and the throttle pedal fully depressed. This test can be conducted either on a dynamometer or on a road with a grade. Approach the grade with engine speed in excess of rated RPM. Record the full boost pressure as the engine RPM drops through the rated RPM. This may require "finding" the correct gear and/or grade. (*) these specifications are applicable for full throttle, rated speed operation. REPAIR PROCEDURE If the STALL CHECK time (for engine to reach 1600 RPM) is greater than six seconds or the boost pressures are not within specification as identified in the Full Boost Pressure Specification Chart, remove the injection pump and have it serviced at the local Bosch facility. The following items are to be checked by an authorized Bosch facility. No air-fuel to the top setting Verify full fuel calibration Boost Control Device (BCD) set to the low end of the specification Check pump timing These settings may only be adjusted by an authorized Bosch facility. Note that setting the BCD towards the lower end of the range improves engine response.

ISSUE: Clutch "chatter" at the friction point may be caused by an uneven or rough surface on the engine flywheel. ACTION: Guidelines for resurfacing the engine flywheel and for determining when the flywheel should be replaced have been developed. Use the following guidelines when attempting to resurface the engine flywheel. WARNING: UNAUTHORIZED REPAIRS TO FLYWHEELS CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. ANY MODIFICATIONS WHICH DO NOT CONFORM TO THE SPECIFICATIONS THAT FOLLOW ARE NOT AUTHORIZED. The following flywheels may be resurfaced. 1. The minimum flywheel thickness after resurfacing is 31.877mm (1.255"). 2. Clutch contact surface finish must be no greater than 2.0 micrometers (40 R.M.S.). 3. The clutch surface must have a 0.0 to 0.10mm (0.0 to 0.004") concavity. 4. Use the following guidelines to determine if the flywheel must be scrapped. GUIDELINES Under no circumstances may the final machined thickness dimension be less than 31-877mm (1.255"). See Figures 1 and 2. Scrap the flywheel if the flywheel thickness does not meet this minimum dimension after resurfacing. Figure 1 - Article 94-3-12 Figure 2 - Article 94-3-12 If after resurfacing the flywheel, material heat or surface cracks are apparent, the flywheel must be scrapped. If after resurfacing, grooves are apparent in the surface, the flywheel must be scrapped. If the clutch contact surface is convex after resurfacing to the minimum thickness, the flywheel must be scrapped. 5. Measure the flywheel thickness at a minimum of three locations equally spaced around the flywheel as follows: a. Place the flywheel, clutch face down, on a straight edge or flat surface. b. Measure from the clutch face or flat surface to the surface that the flywheel mounting contacts the end of the crankshaft (surface "A" in Figures 1 and 2).

OTHER APPLICABLE ARTICLES: NONE SUPERSEDES: 94-01-13 WARRANTY STATUS: Eligible Under The Provisions Of The Basic Warranty Coverage LABOR ALLOWANCE DEALER CODING OASIS CODES: 204000, 204200 TSB Article 94-11-20 has been superseded by Article 95-8-2. 94-11, Publication Date: JUNE 1, 1994 MEDIUM/HEAVY TRUCK: 1987-95 C SERIES, CARGO SERIES, F & B SERIES, L SERIES ISSUE: The field has requested a simplified calibration procedure for electronic speedometers/odometers. ACTION: Use the following TSB article to service all electronic speedometer/odometer calibration concerns. This TSB article supersedes both TSB 90-24-13 and TSB 93-25-16. Refer to the following procedure for service details. SERVICE PROCEDURE The transmission-mounted speed sensor transmits a signal to the speedometer/odometer which is dependent on: Rear axle ratio Tire revolutions per mile (RPMi) based on tire height. REAR AXLE RATIO DETERMINATION The axle ratio can be determined by referring to the information delivered with the vehicle or finding the metal tag attached to the differential. If the vehicle has a two speed differential, (e.g. 4.10/5.72:1), use the smaller number (4.10 in this case) in all calculations. TIRE REVOLUTIONS PER MILE DETERMINATION The revolutions per mile can be determined as follows: 1. Measure the tire height (ground to top of tire) in inches with the vehicle on level ground, loaded with the tires "cold" and inflated to the recommended pressure. Measure to the nearest 1/8". 2. Use the following table to convert "eighths" to decimals. If calculation is done in centimeters, divide tire height by 2.54 to convert to inches. (Example: If tire height is 36-1/8", use 36.125" in your revolutions per mile calculations.) 3. Divide 20,168 (constant) by the tire height to get revolutions per mile. This is RPMi (Example: 20,168 / 36.125 = 558.28). CALIBRATION FREQUENCY DETERMINATION Multiply the axle ratio times the revolutions per mile, times 0.267 (constant) (Example: 558.28 x 4.10 x 0.267 = 611.49). Round the 611.49 to the nearest whole number, which is 611 (on Ametek heads round to the nearest even whole number). DETERMINE SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER SWITCH SETTINGS 1. Determine which type speedometer/odometer is being installed. The following procedure applies for both "stand-alone" and gauge "cluster" type speedometer/odometer units. (Replacement units are either the 12-switch Beede or the 10-switch Ametek type. The 10-switch Beede has been discontinued for service.) 2. If the unit to be calibrated is a 10-switch type, determine if it is an Ametek or a Beede by looking at the type of electrical connection on the back. The Beede has four (4) "studs", while the Ametek has a single plug-in type connector. If a 10-switch Beede is replaced with a 10-switch Ametek, a simple electrical jumper wire will be included with the new speedometer. 3. There are three speedometer setting charts: Ametek 10-position, Figure 1; Beede 12-position, Figures 2-5; and Beede 10-position, Figure 6. Figure 1 - Article 94-11-23 Figure 2 - Article 94-11-23 Figure 3 - Article 94-11-23 Figure 4 - Article 94-11-23 Figure 5 - Article 94-11-23 Figure 6 - Article 94-11-23 4. 5. Using the correct chart, find the "test-freq" in the left hand column, and read the switch settings in the next column. A number means that switch is to be placed in the "ON" or closed position, and a period means that the switch is to be placed in the "OFF" or open position. (Example: Using the Beede 12-position chart and the 611 test frequency calculated in the example, the chart gives switch settings as: 1.3456.8.0.B). This means that switches 1,3,4,5,6,8,10 and 12 are "ON", and switches 2,7,9 and 11 are "OFF". a. If the speedometer has 12 switches, the letters "A" and "B" are used to represent switches 11 and 12. b. There are at least three different styles of switches with unique switch position labeling. Ignore the switch position labeling. Pushing the top of the switch in turns the switch "ON". Pushing the bottom of the switch in turns the switch "OFF". Figure 7 is a "picture" of a 12-position speedometer/odometer switch with switches 1,3,4,5,6,8,10 and 12 "ON", and switches 2, 7, 9 and 11 "OFF". Figure 7 - Article 94-11-23 NOTE: THE SWITCH SETTING IS THE SAME FOR MILES PER HOUR OR KILOMETERS PER HOUR.

Some concerns have been received from the field on which kit or solenoid to use. ACTION: Refer to the following statements to determine which kit or solenoid is required for the vehicle being serviced. PROCEDURE The first retrofit kit released for service (F1HZ-9A594-A) was developed to replace the E6HZ-9D278-B and E7HZ-9D278-A solenoids that were used on the 1986-90 engines. This retrofit kit was announced in TSB 91-22-12. The new solenoid (F1HZ-9N932-A) used a different mounting bracket than the original and required modification. This modification was difficult to perform on certain vehicles and therefore a second retrofit kit was developed. The second retrofit kit released for service (F3HZ-9A594-A) was developed with a new solenoid (F3HZ-9N932-D) which uses the same size mounting pad as the original 1986-90 solenoids E6HZ-9D278-B and E7HZ-9D278-A and does not require any modification to the mounting bracket for installation. This retrofit kit should be used when replacing the original E6HZ-9D278-B and E7HZ-9D278-A solenoids. SOLENOID IDENTIFICATION Each solenoid will have its own Ford engineering number annotated on a label that is attached to the solenoid body. That engineering number can be used to identify the type of solenoid by using the following cross reference chart. There is also a physical difference in the solenoids that can help with their identification. The E6HZ and E7HZ solenoid use a T-style electrical connector, while the F1HZ and F3HZ use a flat connector. Refer to Figure 1. On 1986 model vehicles, a ground wire was not used. The solenoid grounded through the case and only a two-wire connector was used. The newer solenoids have a ground wire and therefore a three-wire connector was used. Figure 1 - Article 94-15-22 The solenoid mounting pad bolt holes are different between the F1HZ and F3HZ solenoids. On the F1HZ solenoid, the mounting pad bolt holes are closer together and the holes are elongated. The F3HZ has the bolt holes further apart and the holes are circular. Refer to Figure 2. Figure 2 - Article 94-15-22 CHOOSING THE CORRECT SERVICE REPLACEMENT 1. Identify the solenoid that needs replacement. 2. If a 1986-90 vehicle still has the original E6HZ-9D278-B or E7HZ-9D278-A solenoid, use retrofit kit (F3HZ-9A594-A). 3. If a 1986-90 vehicle has been retrofitted with the F1HZ-9A594-A kit and the solenoid requires replacement, use the 1991 level solenoid (F1HZ-9N932-A). 4. If a 1986-90 vehicle has been retrofitted with the F3HZ-9A594-A kit and the solenoid requires replacement use the 1993 level solenoid (F3HZ-9N932-D). 5.

ACTION: Please refer to the following procedures and figures for details. COOLANT SPECIFICATIONS 1. The cooling system must be filled with equal parts (50/50 mixture) of water and Ford Low Silicate Heavy Duty Diesel Engine coolant or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESE-M97B18-C. The coolant must be an ethylene-glycol base. NOTE: DO NOT USE ALCOHOL OR METHANOL ANTIFREEZE OR MIX THEM WITH THE SPECIFIED COOLANT. NOTE: TAP WATER MAY BE USED IN THE ENGINE COOLANT MIXTURE, UNLESS IT IS VERY HARD OR HAS AN ALKALINE CONTENT. 2. The original factory-installed solution provides protection to approximately -35°F (-37°C). The coolant concentration (freeze protection) should be checked in accordance with the maintenance schedule (every 12,000 miles (19,000 km), or 250 engine hours, whichever comes first). Replace the coolant when testing shows it is inadequate. NOTE: THE CONCENTRATION MUST BE CHECKED USING A REFRACTOMETER (FLEETGUARD PART #CC2800 OR EQUIVALENT). FLOATING BALL-TYPE TESTERS OR HYDROMETERS ARE NOT ACCURATE ENOUGH FOR THE USE WITH HEAVY DUTY DIESEL ENGINES COOLING SYSTEMS. COOLANT CONDITIONER (DCA4) Engine coolant conditioner provides long term protection against cavitation erosion and corrosion beyond that provided by the engine coolant solution. NOTE: THE FD1060 ENGINE DOES NOT REQUIRE COOLANT CONDITIONER. IT MAY BE USED, BUT IS NOT NECESSARY. THE FD1460 ENGINE MUST ALWAYS USE COOLANT CONDITIONER. The coolant conditioner will lose its concentration over a relatively short period of time. To compensate for the loss, coolant filters are available with different amounts of DCA4 conditioner contained in the filter (precharged). Typically the correct amount of conditioner can be maintained in the system by using a precharged filter (Motorcraft FW-18 or equivalent) that contains two (2) DCA4 units at 12,000 mile (19,000 km) intervals, or 500 engine hours (whichever comes first), as indicated in the maintenance schedule. Other precharged filters are available (Motorcraft FW-19 or equivalent) that contain twelve (12) DCA4 units and may be used when a complete coolant change is made. Also a liquid version is available (Motorcraft FW-15 or equivalent) that may be used instead of the precharged filters. Testing of the conditioner is still required at 12,000 mile (19,000 km) intervals, or 500 engine hours (whichever comes first), as indicated in the maintenance schedule. Fleetguard Test Kit CC2626 or equivalent can be used. The correct unit per gallon should range from 1.2-3.0 with 1.5 being the recommended. CAUTION: INADEQUATE CONCENTRATION OF THE ENGINE COOLANT CONDITIONER CAN RESULT IN MAJOR CORROSIVE DAMAGE TO ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM COMPONENTS. OVER-CONCENTRATION CAN CAUSE FORMATION OF GELS THAT CAN CAUSE COOLANT FLOW RESTRICTIONS, BLOCKAGE OF COOLANT PASSAGES AND OVERHEATING. COOLANT FILL Engine coolant level must be checked daily when the engine is cold. See Figure 1. Figure 1 - Article 94-16-26 If the engine cooling system is drained for replacement or repair, the following procedure must be used to ensure the engine is properly filled with coolant. NOTE: AIR POCKETS THAT FORM IN THE COOLING SYSTEM TEND TO GATHER AT THE HIGHEST POINT IN THE WATER JACKET. THESE POCKETS CAN CAUSE HOT SPOTS WHICH IN TURN COULD RESULT IN ENGINE DAMAGE. FILLING THE COOLING SYSTEM AT A SLOW RATE WILL ALLOW AIR TO FLOW OUT OF THE COOLING SYSTEM BEFORE IT BECOMES TRAPPED. NOTE: BOTH THE FD1060 AND FD1460 ENGINES HAVE A COOLING SYSTEM VENT LINE THAT IS LOCATED ON THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE. THIS VENT ALLOWS AIR TO ESCAPE AS THE SYSTEM IS BEING FILLED. NOTE: FOR THE ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM TO OPERATE PROPERLY THE RADIATOR CAP MUST SEAT TO THE FILLER NECK UPPER LIP AND THE CONNECTION OF THE HOSE FROM THE FILLER NECK TO THE RECOVERY RESERVOIR MUST BE AIR TIGHT. NOTE: BEFORE FILLING THE COOLING SYSTEM, CHECK BOTH FILL AND VENT HOSES TO ENSURE THEY ARE PROPERLY CONNECTED AND NOT KINKED OR RESTRICTED. 1. The cooling system should be filled at a slow rate to prevent excessive aeration of the coolant. When filling, do not exceed 3 gal/min on the FD1060 or 5 gal/min on the FD1460 engine. 2. Place the heater temperature control in the maximum heat position. 3. Fill the radiator to the bottom of the filler neck with the recommended engine coolant mixture. 4. Start the engine and vary the engine speed between idle and 1500 RPM for approximately 3 minutes. 5. Increase the engine speed to the maximum or governed RPM and run the engine until the thermostat opens (upper radiator hose becomes hot) and for an additional 10 minutes to allow the air to escape from the engine cooling system. 6. Throttle back to idle and fill the radiator supply tank with engine coolant to the bottom of the filler neck, then install the radiator cap. On vehicles equipped with and engine coolant recovery reservoir fill the reservoir to the "Hot" mark.

NOTE: USE ONLY MOTORCRAFT MERCON MULTI-PURPOSE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID, XT-2-QDX OR DDX OR EQUIVALENT HYDRAULIC FLUID TO REFILL THE PARKING BRAKE RESERVOIR. Whenever the hydraulic fluid level is checked, the parking brake must be applied. If the parking brake is not applied, the dipstick will show a false low reading which will create an overflow condition if brake fluid is added. If the fluid is properly checked and found to be at the correct level, but there was a fluid discharge when the parking brake is released, there may be air in the system (the fluid may also be pink in color instead of red). If air is present in the system, the brake system must be bled to remove the trapped air. Refer to Service Manual, Section 06-05B, for bleeding instructions.

Replace the compressor manifold with Adapter Block (F3HZ-19E559-A). Replace the compressor manifold O-rings and lube with refrigerant oil. Reuse the existing bolt, Figure 1. Figure 1 - Article 94-20-22 2. Remove the production A/C hose assemblies at the condenser and evaporator using the spring lock coupler tool. Measure and record the full length of the production hose assembly including the manifold. 3. Using a tubing cutter, cut the production tubes where the tube and the rubber hose is connected. Leave at least 1/4" (6mm) of straight unbent tubing. The cuts are made at the ends nearest the condensor and evaporator. 4. Clean the tube thoroughly with Metal Surface Cleaner (F4AZ-19A536-RA) or denatured alcohol. Remove any burrs with a rat-tail file and polish the outside of the tube with emery cloth. Reclean surface with Metal Surface Cleaner or denatured alcohol. 5. Clean the nipple found in the repair kit (F3HZ-19972-F for compressor to condensor and F3HZ-19972-E for evaporator to compressor) with Metal Surface Cleaner or denatured alcohol and install the braze ring into the counter bore of the nipple. 6. Cover the counterbore, ring, outer hex and threads of the nipple and the outside of the tube with high temperature, water-soluble flux. 7. Place the tube assembly into a vise. 8. Place the nipple with the braze ring over the tube and heat both ends evenly with a brazing torch so that they both reach brazing temperature at the same time. NOTE: NEVER HEAT THE PARTS TO A BRIGHT RED COLOR. 9. When the silver alloy melts, the flux will draw it throughout the joint and a small bead of silver alloy will appear around the tube. When this happens, the braze is complete. Remove the heat source and let cool for 5 to 10 seconds. 10. Using pliers, place the fitting into water until it is completely cool. CAUTION: STEAM MAY BE DIRECTED THROUGH THE ENDS OF THE TUBE. TO PREVENT BURNS, HANDLE THE TUBE CAREFULLY. 11. Remove the residual flux from the surface using hot water and a wire brush. 12. Cut the proper size and length hose to duplicate the original length of the production hose. Push the hose fully into the sockets (found in the A/C repair kits) and screw the nipple from the brazed assembly into the socket. Repeat for the opposite end of the hose using the sockets from the discharge/suction elbows (F4HZ-2B291-A and B). Align the elbow and brazed fitting to the curvature of the hose to allow for proper alignment and ease of installation. Install both ends of the hose assembly. Repeat this procedure for the other hose assembly. 13. Reuse the existing high pressure switch, if applicable. METHOD 2 SERVICE PROCEDURE 1. Replace the compressor manifold with Adapter Block (F3HZ-19E559-A). Reuse the existing bolt, Figure 1. 2. To avoid brazing and the use of bulk hose for a repair, use special service hoses as an exact replacement except with tube-nuts on the compressor end of the hose. The hoses will connect directly to the adapter block. Refer to the following A/C Hose Reference Chart or the Vehicle Identification Chart and Application Charts for correct parts usage. 3. Reuse existing high pressure switch, if applicable. NOTE: IF COMPRESSOR REPLACEMENT IS NECESSARY, IN ADDITION TO REPAIRING LEAKS AT THE "QUICK-CONNECT" FITTINGS, A TAPPED-HEAD COMPRESSOR (F3HZ-19703-E) IS AVAILABLE. THIS COMPRESSOR WILL ELIMINATE THE NEED OF THE ADAPTER BLOCK AND CAN BE USED WITH EITHER OF THE METHODS DESCRIBED.

ACTION: When prepping a replacement body panel for installation, it is mandatory to leave the E-Coat intact. DO NOT SAND OFF THE E-COAT. Improper preparation with excessive sanding of the E-Coat to bare metal will jeopardize the sheet metal warranty and overall customer satisfaction. In particular, the E-Coat is necessary to protect the parts from rust. Light scuff sanding using a Scotch Brite pad or wet 320 grit sand paper is recommended for minor flaws. If a minor flaw exists, wet sand or scuff out the flaw and prime the repair area. Again, do not remove all of the E-Coat from the panel. WARNING: LEAD CONTAMINATION POTENTIAL: THE ELECTRODEPOSITION PRIMER USED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY OVER BASE METAL ON SERVICE REPLACEMENT PARTS OR COMPLETED VEHICLES CONTAINS SMALL AMOUNTS OF LEAD FOR CORROSION PROTECTION OF STEEL. EXCESSIVE DUSTS GENERATED BY UNNECESSARY AND IMPROPER SANDING MAY CONTAIN AIRBORNE LEAD CONTAMINATION IN EXCESS OF OSHA STANDARDS. INFORMATION REGARDING THE HAZARDS OF LEAD CAN BE FOUND IN THE CHEMICAL FACT SHEETS IN THE FIGURES FOLLOWING THIS ARTICLE. NOTE: READ ALL INFORMATION IN THIS TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN CAREFULLY AND FORWARD TO ALL EMPLOYEES PERFORMING PAINT PREPPING OPERATIONS. DEALERS SHOULD CONTACT LEGAL COUNSEL AND/OR LOCAL OSHA AUTHORITIES FOR DIRECTION REGARDING OSHA LEAD STANDARD REQUIREMENTS. If a replacement body panel contains more than a minor flaw in the E-coat, it should be returned. Contact your Customer Service representative for instructions. If more extensive sanding, other than that described above, is necessary, (e.g., refinishing original vehicle sheet metal) follow the procedures outlined below: ALTERNATIVE SANDING PROCEDURES WHEN EXTENSIVE SANDING IS REQUIRED The following procedures for sheet metal preparation by sanding or media blasting are based on tests conducted by Ford Motor Company in accordance with requirements set forth in the Federal OSHA Inorganic Lead Standard 29 CFR 1910.1025. SANDING PROCEDURE 1. Each technician performing the sanding operation MUST wear an approved respirator with high efficiency particulate filter (HEPA). 2. Technicians should use dual action sander with vacuum collection. 3. The vacuum equipment MUST be equipped with a HEPA filter on the air exhaust. Dealers are cautioned not to exhaust vacuum air into the atmosphere. Operators are cautioned to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for maintenance and the replacement of filters. MEDIA BLASTING PROCEDURE 1. Testing has shown that plastic media blasting meets OSHA lead standard requirements and is efficient when the manufacturer's published procedures are followed. 2. The operator must wear an air supplied hood using compressed air free from carbon monoxide, oil, water, and other contamination when performing this operation. Specifics of the media blasting procedure for whole body paint removal have been previously published. NOTE: PLEASE READ THE CHEMICAL FACT SHEETS IN THE FOLLOWING FIGURES.
