SECTION 1 - PLOW UNIT

1. CAPACITY: The unit shall be so designed that when working at or near full capacity widening a cut, it shall remove the snow completely from the roadway over its designed width without spilling snow around either side of the box. The cutting swath shall be not less than four inches wider than the overall maximum width of axles, chassis, and cab.
