Transmission operation while plowing
WARNING: Do not spin the wheels at over 35 mph (55 km/h).
The tires may fail and injure a passenger or bystander.
• Shift transfer case to 4L (4WD Low) when plowing in small areas at
speeds below 5 mph (8 km/h).
• Shift transfer case to 4H (4WD High) when plowing larger areas or
light snow at higher speeds. Do not exceed 15 mph (24 km/h).
• Do not shift the transmission from a forward gear to R (Reverse) until
the engine is at idle and the wheels are stopped.
• If the vehicle is stuck, shift the transmission in a steady motion
between forward and reverse gears. Do not rock the vehicle for more
than a few minutes. The transmission and tires may be damaged or
the engine can overheat.
Outside Air Temperature While Plowing
The outside air temperature reading can be inaccurate while plowing
with your vehicle due to the sensor air flow being blocked by the plow
blade.
A Ford Wiring Kit (XXXX-XXXXX-XX) is available to relocated the OAT
sensor to the plow blade frame below the headlamp to provide accurate
outside air temperature readings.
