each for the driver and one front seat passenger.
Completed Vehicle Weight
The weight of the completed vehicle with equipment installed (and second unit body, if applicable) must
not exceed the Front GAWR, Rear GAWR, or GVWR established by Ford. If sufficient weight is added
such that the completed vehicle with a driver and more than one passenger would exceed Front GAWR,
Rear GAWR, or GVWR, it is the responsibility of the equipment installer to notify the customer of the
appropriate use restrictions. (IE: That the user should limit occupancy of the vehicle to the driver and one
passenger while the equipment is installed.)
The addition of ballast weight, placed rearward of the rear axle, may be required to prevent front end
overloading or exceeding Front GAWR. If required, the ballast weight must be securely attached to the
vehicle.
For Ford completed vehicles of 10,000 lbs. GVWR or less, the weight of permanently attached equipment
must not exceed the Total Accessory Reserve Capacity (T.A.R.C.) as specified on the Safety Compliance
Certification Label. Permanently attached equipment includes the snowplow frame-mounting hardware,
and does not include the removable snowplow blade assembly. Exceeding T.A.R.C. will require
recertification.
Front End Wheel Alignment and Headlight Aim
Front end wheel alignment (toe) and headlight aim may require adjustment after installation of equipment,
and is the responsibility of the equipment installer. Failure to reset front wheel alignment may cause
premature, uneven tire wear. If required, reset to chassis manufacturers specifications found in the Ford
Shop Manual.

SPECIAL APPLICATIONS
Snow Plow Applications (Contd)
Electrical Connections
Installation of any inductive load devices (i.e., electric motors, electric clutches for clutch pumps, etc.)
MUST NOT be connected to OEM wiring or fuse panels. Power for such devices should be taken directly
from the battery or starter motor relay power terminal. Control of these devices should be achieved via
relays. No direct current path should exist between OEM wiring and the installed load that is not filtered
by the battery. These recommendations are intended to reduce or eliminate any induced reverse voltage
into the OEM circuitry.
Warranty
The Normal Ford New Vehicle Limited Warranty applies to vehicles with snowplows installed in
accordance with these guidelines. Consult your Ford dealer or the Owners Guide for any further
questions.
