OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
WITH A SNOWPLOW
Weight limits and guidelines for selectingand installing the snowplow are in the FordTruck Body Builders Layout Book. Foradditional information, visitwww.fordbbas.com.
A typical snowplow installation affects thefollowing:
•Front gross axle weight rating. SeeWhat Is the Gross Axle WeightRating (page 352).
•Gross vehicle weight rating. See WhatIs the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating(page 352).
•Braking and steering.
•Front wheel toe. See the FordWorkshop Manual.
•Headlight aim. See Adjusting theHeadlamps (page 460).
•Tire air pressure. See Information onthe Tire Sidewall (page 479).
Note:Do not exceed the front gross axleweight rating or gross vehicle weight rating.
Note:Your vehicle may require rear ballastweight for proper braking and steering.

WARNING: Never link two strapstogether with a clevis pin. These heavymetal objects could become projectilesif the strap breaks and can cause seriousinjury or death.
WARNING: Switch the ignition offbefore removing the recovery hook.Failure to do so could result in personalinjury.
WARNING: The recovery hook canbecome hot. Let the recovery hook cooldown before removing it. Failure to doso could result in personal injury.
Your vehicle has frame-mounted frontrecovery hooks.
Note:Do not apply a load to the recoveryhooks that is greater than the gross vehicleweight rating of your vehicle.
Before using recovery hooks:
•Make sure all attaching points aresecure and capable of withstandingthe applied load.
•Do not use chains, cables or tow strapswith metal hook ends.
•Only use recovery straps that have aminimum breaking strength two tothree times the gross vehicle weight ofthe stuck vehicle.
•Make sure the recovery strap is in goodcondition and free of visible cuts, tearsor damage.
•Use a damper device such as a tarp,heavy blanket or piece of carpet, andplace it over the recovery strap to helpabsorb the energy in the event thestrap breaks.
•Make sure the stuck vehicle is notloaded heavier than its gross vehicleweight rating specified on thecertification label.
•Align the tow vehicle and stuck vehiclein a straight line, within 10 degrees.
•Keep bystanders to the sides of thevehicle, at a distance of at least twicethe length of the recovery strap. Thishelps avoid injury from the hazard of arecovery hook or strap breaking, or avehicle lurching into their path.
TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE

Information on P Type Tires
P215/65R15 95H is an example of
a tire size, load index and speedrating. The definitions of theseitems are listed below. (Note thatthe tire size, load index and speedrating for your vehicle may bedifferent from this example.)
A.P: Indicates a tire, designatedby the Tire and Rim Association,that may be used for service oncars, sport utility vehicles,minivans and light trucks.Note: Ifyour tire size does not begin witha letter this may mean it isdesignated by either the EuropeanTire and Rim TechnicalOrganization or the Japan TireManufacturing Association.
B.215: Indicates the nominalwidth of the tire in millimetersfrom sidewall edge to sidewalledge. In general, the larger thenumber, the wider the tire.
C.65: Indicates the aspect ratiowhich gives the tire's ratio ofheight to width.
D.R: Indicates a radial type tire.
E.15: Indicates the wheel or rimdiameter in inches. If you changeyour wheel size, you will have topurchase new tires to match thenew wheel diameter.
F.95: Indicates the tire's loadindex. It is an index that relates tohow much weight a tire can carry.You may find this information inyour owner’s manual. If not,contact a local tire dealer.
Note:You may not find thisinformation on all tires because itis not required by federal law.
G.H: Indicates the tire's speedrating. The speed rating denotesthe speed at which a tire isdesigned to be driven for extendedperiods of time under a standardcondition of load and inflationpressure. The tires on your vehiclemay operate at differentconditions for load and inflationpressure. These speed ratings mayneed to be adjusted for thedifference in conditions. Theratings range from 81 mph(130 km/h) to 186 mph
(299 km/h). These ratings arelisted in the following chart.

GLOSSARY OF TIRE
TERMINOLOGY
*Tire label: A label showing theoriginal equipment tire sizes,recommended inflation pressureand the maximum weight thevehicle can carry.
*Tire Identification Number(TIN): A number on the sidewallof each tire providing informationabout the tire brand andmanufacturing plant, tire size anddate of manufacture. Also referredto as DOT code.
*Inflation pressure: A measureof the amount of air in a tire.
*Standard load: A class ofP-metric or Metric tires designedto carry a maximum load at setpressure. For example: ForP-metric tires 35 psi (2.4 bar) andfor Metric tires 36 psi (2.5 bar).Increasing the inflation pressurebeyond this pressure will not
increase the tire’s load carryingcapability.
*Extra load: A class of P-metricor Metric tires designed to carry aheavier maximum load at 42 psi(2.9 bar). Increasing the inflationpressure beyond this pressure willnot increase the tire’s loadcarrying capability.
*kPa: Kilopascal, a metric unit ofair pressure.
*PSI: Pounds per square inch, astandard unit of air pressure.
*Cold tire pressure: The tirepressure when the vehicle hasbeen stationary and out of directsunlight for an hour or more andprior to the vehicle being driven for1 mi (1.6 km).
*Recommended inflationpressure: The cold inflationpressure found on the SafetyCompliance Certification Label(affixed to either the door hingepillar, door-latch post, or the dooredge that meets the door-latchpost, next to the driver's seatingposition), or Tire Label located onthe B-Pillar or the edge of thedriver door.
* B-pillar: The structural memberat the side of the vehicle behindthe front door.
*Bead area of the tire: Area ofthe tire next to the rim.
* Sidewall of the tire: Areabetween the bead area and thetread.

WARNING: Do not spin thewheels at over 34 mph(55 km/h). The tires may fail andinjure a passenger or bystander.
HIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BEDANGEROUS
Correct inflation pressure isespecially important. However, athigh speeds, even with the correctinflation pressure, a road hazardfor example is more difficult toavoid and if contact is made, hasa greater chance of causing tiredamage than at a lower speed.Moreover, driving at high speedreduces the reaction timeavailable to avoid accidents andbring your vehicle to a safe stop.
If you see any damage to a tire orwheel, replace it with the spare atonce and visit a participating TireRetailer.
Exceeding the maximum speedsshown on the following page foreach type of tire will cause the tireto build up excessive heat whichcan cause tire damage that couldresult in sudden tire destructionand rapid air loss. Failure tocontrol a vehicle when one ormore tires experience a sudden airloss can lead to an accident.
In any case, you should notexceed reasonable speeds asindicated by the legal limitsand driving conditions.
DO NOT OVERLOAD: DRIVINGON ANY OVERLOADED TIRE ISDANGEROUS
The maximum load rating of yourtires is molded on the tire sidewall.Do not exceed this rating. Followthe loading instructions of themanufacturer of your vehicle andthis will ensure that your tires arenot overloaded. Tires which areloaded beyond their maximumallowable loads for the particularapplication will build up excessiveheat that may result in sudden tiredestruction. Do not exceed thegross axle weight rating for anyaxle on your vehicle.
TIRE ALTERATIONS
Do not make or allow to be made
any alterations on your tires.Alterations may prevent properperformance, leading to tiredamage which can result in anaccident. Tires which becomeunserviceable due to alterationssuch as truing, whitewall inlays,addition of balancing or sealantliquids, or the use of tire dressingcontaining petroleum distillatesare excluded from warrantycoverage.

REPAIRS - WHEREVERPOSSIBLE, SEE YOUR TIRERETAILER AT ONCE
If any tire sustains a puncture,have the tire demounted andthoroughly inspected by a tireretailer for possible damage thatmay have occurred. A tread areapuncture in any passenger or lighttruck tire can be repaired providedthat the puncture hole is not morethan 1/4” in diameter, not morethan one radial cable per casingply is damaged, and the tire hasnot been damaged further by thepuncturing object or by runningunderinflated. Tire puncturesconsistent with these guidelinesshould only be repaired byfollowing the US TireManufacturers Association(USTMA) recommended repairprocedures. Plug-only repairsdone on-the-wheel are consideredimproper and therefore, notrecommended. Such repairs arenot reliable and may cause furtherdamage to the tire.
STORAGE
Tires contain waxes andemollients to protect their outersurfaces from ozone and weatherchecking. As the tire rolls andflexes, the waxes and emollientscontinually migrate to the surface,replenishing this protectionthroughout the normal use of thetire. Consequently, when tires situnused for long periods of time (amonth or more) their surfaces
become dry and more susceptibleto ozone and weather checkingand the casing becomessusceptible to flat spotting.Forthis reason, tires should alwaysbe stored in a cool, dry, clean,indoor environment. If storageis for one month or more,eliminate the weight from thetires by raising the vehicle or byremoving the tires from thevehicle. Failure to store tires inaccordance with theseinstructions could result indamage to your tires orpremature aging of the tiresand sudden tire failure.
When tires are stored, be sure theyare placed away from sources ofheat and ozone such as directsunlight, hot pipes and electricgenerators. Be sure that surfaceson which tires are stored are cleanand free from grease, gasoline orother substances, which coulddeteriorate the rubber. Failure tostore tires in accordance withthese instructions could result indamage to your tires or prematureaging of the tires and sudden tirefailure.
