Chevrolet Silverado Owner Manual - 2012

9-120 Driving and Operating

Say, for example, you have a 318 kg

(700 lb) snow plow. The total weight

of all occupants and cargo inside

the cab should not exceed 135 kg

(300 lb). This means that you may

only be able to carry one passenger.

But, even this may be too much if

there is other equipment already

adding to the weight of the vehicle.

Here are some guidelines for safely

carrying a snow plow on the vehicle:

.

Make sure the weight on the

front and rear axles does not

exceed the axle rating for each.

.

For the front axle, if more cargo

or passengers must be carried,

appropriate counter ballast must

be installed rear of the rear axle.

Counter ballast must be properly

secured so it will not move

during driving.

.

Follow the snow plow

manufacturer's

recommendations regarding

rear ballast. Rear ballast

may be required to ensure a

proper front and rear weight

distribution ratio, even though

the actual weight at the front

axle may be less than the front

axle rating.

.

The snow plow manufacturer or

installer can assist you in

determining the amount of rear

ballast required, to help make

sure the snowplow/vehicle

combination does not exceed

the GVW rating, the front and

rear axle ratings, and the front

and rear weight distribution ratio.

.

The total vehicle must not

exceed the GVW rating.

Front axle reserve capacity is the

difference between the Gross Axle

Weight Rating (GAWR) and the front

axle weight of the vehicle with full

fuel and passengers. Basically, it is

the amount of weight that can be

added to the front axle before

reaching the front GAWR.

The front axle reserve capacity for

the vehicle can be found in the

lower right corner of the

Certification/Tire label, as

shown.
