SNOW PLOWING
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Modifying or adding
equipment to the front end of your
vehicle (including hood, bumper system,
frame, front end body structure, tow
hooks and hood pins) may affect the
performance of the airbag system,
increasing the risk of injury. Do not
modify or add equipment to the front
end of your vehicle.
WARNING: Do not attempt to
service, repair, or modify the
supplementary restraint system or
associated components. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.
WARNING: All occupants of your
vehicle, including the driver, should
always properly wear their seatbelts,
even when an airbag supplemental
restraint system is provided. Failure to
properly wear your seatbelt could
seriously increase the risk of injury or
death.
WARNING: Do not spin the wheels
at over 34 mph (55 km/h). The tires may
fail and injure a passenger or bystander.
Note: Look for an alterer’s label on your
vehicle from the snowplow installer
certifying that the installation meets all
applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSS).
Note: Federal and some local regulations
require additional exterior lamps for
snowplow-equipped vehicles. Contact an
authorized dealer for additional information.
Note: Do not remove or defeat the tripping
mechanisms designed into the snow
removal equipment by its manufacturer.
Doing so could cause damage to your
vehicle and the snow removal equipment
as well as possible airbag deployment.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
WITH A SNOWPLOW
Weight limits and guidelines for selecting
and installing the snowplow are in the Ford
Truck Body Builders Layout Book. For
additional information, visit
www.fordbbas.com.
A typical snowplow installation affects the
following:
• Front gross axle weight rating. See
What Is the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (page 361).
• Gross vehicle weight rating. See What
Is the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(page 361).
• Braking and steering.
• Front wheel toe. See the Ford
Workshop Manual.
• Headlight aim. See Adjusting the
Headlamps (page 473).
• Tire air pressure. See Information on
the Tire Sidewall (page 495).
Note: Do not exceed the front gross axle
weight rating or gross vehicle weight rating.
Note: Your vehicle may require rear ballast
weight for proper braking and steering.
Your vehicle has a driver and passenger
airbag supplemental restraint system. The
supplemental restraint system activates
in certain frontal and offset frontal
collisions when the vehicle sustains
sufficient longitudinal deceleration.
