Driving vehicle, if necessary. Refer to the Safety Compliance Certification Label to find Front GAWR. The Front Axle Accessory Reserve Capacity and the Total Accessory Reserve Capacity listed on the bottom right of the Safety Compliance Certification Label will determine whether or not the addition of a snowplow will overload your vehicle. The weight of the snowplow and supporting components distributed to the front axle must not exceed the front accessory reserve capacity. The total weight of the snowplow and aftermarket equipment must not exceed the Total Accessory Reserve Capacity. The weight of the installed snowplow and aftermarket equipment must not load the vehicle beyond the GAWR and GVWR listed on the Safety Compliance Certification Label. Federal and most local regulations require additional exterior lamps for snowplow-equipped vehicles. Consult your dealer for additional information. After installing a snowplow to the vehicle, ensure the vehicle's front toe alignment and front ride height are within specification (reset if required). • • • • • • 130
