If you are driving more than 15 miles
(24 kilometers) at temperatures above
freezing, angle the plow blade either
full left or full right to provide
maximum airflow to the radiator.
•
If you are driving less than 15 miles (24
kilometers) at speeds up to 45 mph
(72 km/h) in cold weather, you will not
need to worry about blade position to
provide maximum airflow.

Outside Air Temperature While
Plowing
While plowing with your vehicle, the plow
blade can block the sensor airflow and
cause the outside air temperature reading
to be inaccurate.
A Ford wiring kit is available to relocate the
Outside Air Temperature sensor to the
plow blade frame below the headlamp to
provide accurate outside air temperature
readings. See your authorized dealer for
more information.
