Driving • After installing a snowplow to the vehicle, ensure the vehicle's front toe alignment and front ride height are within specification (reset if required). These specifications are located in the vehicle's Workshop Manual. Adherence to the toe, tire pressures and ride height specification is important for proper tire wear, ride, handling and headlight aim. Also, maintain the engine oil and transmission fluid change intervals following the severe duty schedule. Do not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the certification label. Removing snowplow Read the following instructions before removing a snowplow: • After removing a snowplow from the vehicle, ensure the vehicle's front toe alignment and front ride height are within specification (reset if required). These specifications are located in the vehicle's Workshop Manual. Adherence to the toe and ride height specification is important for proper tire wear, ride, handling and headlight aim. Snowplowing with your air bag equipped vehicle Your vehicle is equipped with driver and passenger (if equipped) air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). The SRS is designed to activate 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 SRS is provided. Never remove or defeat the "tripping mechanisms" designed into the snow removal equipment by its manufacturer. Doing so may cause damage to the vehicle and the snow removal equipment as well as possible air bag deployment. 142
