SNOWPLOW
Snowplow Prep Packages are available as a factory

installed option. These packages include components

necessary to equip your vehicle with a snowplow.
NOTE:

Before installation of a snowplow it is highly

recommended that the owner/installer obtain and follow

the recommendations contained within the current Ram

Body Builders Guide. See your authorized dealer, in-

staller or snowplow manufacturer for this information.

There are unique electrical systems that must be con-

nected 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.
