WARNING
Many newer trucks are equipped with air bags. DO NOT under any circumstances disable or remove or
relocate any sensors or other components related to the operation of the air bags.
WARNING
Always follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations relating to snowplow installation. For
recommended vehicle models refer to the BOSS Snowplow Application Chart and Selection Guide.
WARNING
Vehicles equipped with air bags are designed such that the air bags will be activated in a frontal collision
equivalent to hitting a solid barrier (such as a wall) at approximately 14 mph or more, or, roughly speaking,
a frontal perpendicular collision with a parked car or truck of similar size at approximately 28 mph or more.
Careless or high speed driving while plowing snow, which results in vehicle decelerations equivalent to or
greater than the air bag deployment threshold described above, would deploy the air bag.
WARNING
Read this manual carefully before operating this snowplow.
WARNING
When transporting, position plow so as not to block vision or plow headlights
.
WARNING
DO NOT change blade position when traveling
.
WARNING
DO NOT exceed 40 mph when transporting plow.
WARNING
DO NOT exceed 14 mph when plowing.
WARNING
Always lower blade when vehicle is not in use.
WARNING
Make sure plow is properly attached before moving vehicle.
WARNING
To comply with Federal Regulations and to assure a safe vehicle, the Front Gross Axle Weight Rating
(FGAWR), Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (RGAWR), and the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GAWR) must
not be exceeded at any time.
WARNING
Due to the variety of equipment that can be installed on this vehicle, it is necessary to verify that the Front
Gross Axle Weight Rating (FGAWR), Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (RGAWR), and the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GAWR) are not exceeded at any time. This may require weighing the vehicle and adding
ballast as necessary. It may also limit payload capacity of the vehicle. It is the operator’s responsibility to
verify that these ratings are not exceeded.
