NOTE:

Before installation of a snowplow it is highly rec-

ommended that the owner/installer obtain and follow the
recommendations contained within the current Ram Body
Builders Guide. See your authorized dealer, installer or
snowplow manufacturer for this information. There are
unique electrical systems that must be connected to properly
assure operator safety and prevent overloading vehicle
systems.

WARNING!

Attaching a snowplow to this vehicle could adversely
affect performance of the airbag system in a collision.
Do not expect that the airbag will perform as de-
scribed earlier in this manual.

CAUTION!

The “Lamp Out” indicator could illuminate if exte-
rior lamps are not properly installed.

Before Plowing

• Check the hydraulic system for leaks and proper fluid

level.

• Check the mounting bolts and nuts for proper tight-

ness.

• Check the runners and cutting edge for excessive wear.

The cutting edge should be ¼ to ½ in (6 cm to 1.2 cm)
above ground in snow plowing position.

• Check that snowplow lighting is connected and func-

tioning properly.
