• Rear ballast weight behind the rear axle may be required to prevent

exceeding the FGAWR, and provide front-to-rear weight balance for

proper braking and steering.

• Front wheel toe may require re-adjustment to prevent premature

uneven tire wear. Specifications are found in the Ford Workshop

Manual.

• Headlight aim may require re-adjustment.

• The tire air pressures recommended for general driving are found on

the vehicle’s Safety Certification Label. The maximum cold inflation

pressure for the tire and associated load rating is imprinted on the tire

sidewall. Tire air pressure may require re-adjustment within these

pressure limits to accommodate the additional weight of the snowplow

installation

Operating the vehicle with the snowplow attached

Ford recommends that the F–150 be limited to low speed, personal-use

snow removal. Do not use your vehicle for snow removal until it has

been driven at least 500 miles (800 km).

The attached snowplow blade restricts airflow to the radiator, and may

cause the engine to run at a higher temperature:

• If you are driving more than 15 miles (24 km) where outside air

temperatures are above freezing, then angle the plow blade to full left

or right to maximize airflow to the radiator.

• If you are driving less than 15 miles (24 km) at speeds up to 40 mph

(64 km/h) in cold weather you will not need to adjust blade position

Snowplowing with your air bag equipped vehicle

Your vehicle is equipped with a driver and passenger air bag

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) The SRS is designed to activate in

certain frontal and offset frontal collisions when the vehicle sustains

sufficient longitudinal deceleration.

Careless or high speed driving while plowing snow which results in

sufficient vehicle decelerations can deploy the air bag. Such driving also

increases the risk of accidents.

All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver, should always

properly wear their safety belts, even when an air bag

supplemental restraint system (SRS) is provided.
