WARNING
Make sure plow is properly attached before
moving vehicle.
WARNING
Do not move plow while servicing or place body
parts between or under plow parts while moving
plow.
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 10 mph when plowing.
WARNING
Always lower blade when vehicle is not in use.
WARNING
Read this manual carefully before operating this
snowplow.
CAUTION
Vehicle application recommendations are based
on the following:
• The vehicle with the snowplow installed must
comply with applicable Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards (FMVSS).
• The vehicle with the snowplow installed must
comply with the vehicle manufacturer's stated
gross vehicle and axle weight ratings (found on
the driver-side door corner post of the vehicle)
and the front and rear weight distribution ratio.
In some cases, rear ballast may be required to
comply with these requirements.
• In some cases there may be additional
limitations and requirements.
• Available capacity decreases as the vehicle is
loaded with cargo or other truck equipment, or
snowplow accessories are installed.
• If there is uncertainty as to whether available
capacity exists, the actual vehicle as configured
must be weighed.
MD InsTallaTIon/RefeRenCe Manual
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 manufacturers
recommendations relating to snowplow
installation. For recommended vehicle models
refer to the SnowDogg 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.
