Preparation
•
Read the Owner’s Manual before operating or
servicing the plow.
•
Always follow the vehicle manufacturer’s
recommendations relating to snowplow
installation. For recommended vehicle models,
refer to the BOSS product selector tool at
www.BOSSPlow.com.
•
Ensure that only trained personnel install and
perform maintenance on the equipment and
hydraulic components.
•
Never disable, remove, or relocate any sensors or
other components related to the operation of the
air bags in your vehicle.
•
Keep your hands, feet, and clothing away from
moving parts and mounting points.
•
Ensure the plow is properly attached to the vehicle
before moving it.
•
To comply with federal regulations and to
assure a safe vehicle, do not exceed the
front gross-axle-weight rating (FGAWR), rear
gross-axle-weight rating (RGAWR), and the
gross-vehicle-weight rating (GVWR) at any time.
•
Always wear appropriate personal protective
equipment when operating and servicing the
machine. Wear substantial, slip-resistant footwear,
and cold-weather clothing.
•
Use a 500 kg (1/2 ton) minimum lifting device to
move heavy plow components.
•
Material safety data sheets (MSDS) are available
at www.BOSSPlow.com.
Operation
•
Vehicles equipped with air bags are designed
so that the air bags activate in a frontal collision
equivalent to hitting a solid barrier (such as a wall)
at approximately 22 km/h (14 mph) or more, or a
frontal perpendicular collision with a parked car
or truck of similar size at approximately 45 km/h
(28 mph) or more. Careless or high-speed driving
while plowing snow can deploy the air bag.
•
When transporting the vehicle, position the plow so
as not to block your vision or the plow headlights.
•
Do not change the blade position when traveling.
•
Do not exceed 64 km/h (40 mph) when transporting
the plow.
•
Do not exceed 22 km/h (14 mph) when plowing.
•
Do not exceed 8 km/h (5 mph) when D-Force is
activated (if equipped).
•
Always lower the blade when the vehicle is not in
use.
•
Never put any part of your body between the plow
and the vehicle.
•
Do not operate the machine while ill, tired, or
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
•
Use your full attention while operating the
machine. Do not engage in any activity that
causes distractions; otherwise, injury or property
damage may occur.
•
Always wear your seat belt while operating a motor
vehicle.
•
Due to the variety of equipment that you
can install on the vehicle, do not exceed the
front gross-axle-weight rating (FGAWR), rear
gross-axle-weight rating (RGAWR), and the
gross-vehicle-weight rating (GVWR) at any time.
This may require weighing the vehicle and adding
ballast as necessary. It may also limit the payload
capacity of the vehicle.
•
This machine has an operating sound level below
70 dBA.
