Original manual

This operating manual is an indispensable part of every snow plow and
aims to familiarize the user with the rules of proper operation and utilization of
the device as well as the dangers inherent in its use. Before starting up the
machine for the first time carefully read this operating manual and all safety
advice.
The City is a light duty plow intended exclusively for snow removal from
roads, car parks, slightly uneven lots or similar operations. Its use for other
purposes will be treated as use not in accordance with its intention. Fulfilling the
requirements regarding utilization, operation and repair according to the
recommendations of the manufacturer and exclusive adherence to them are the
conditions for its use in accordance with its intention.
Other than the rules of the machine's utilization, its proper use consists of
maintenance and keeping it in good condition, as well as using only original
spare parts.
The snow plow should be operated, serviced and repaired only by
personnel familiar with its technical characteristics and with rules of safe
conduct.
Regulations regarding accident prevention and all basic regulations
regarding safety and work hygiene, as well as all traffic regulations should
always be observed.
The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for damages resulting from
self-made repairs or modifications of the snow plow carried out without
manufacturer's authorization.
In the event of any doubts connected with the operation or utilization of
the plow please contact the manufacturer's service department.
When the snow plow is sold to another user it is mandatory to pass on the
operating manual to the new owner and keep a signed written confirmation of
this fact.
ATTENTION
Statements in this operating manual with this sign as well as
warning signs on the device warn the user of possible dangers.
We congratulate you on making the correct choice in your snow plow purchase and wish
you satisfaction from its use.

2. SAFETY
ATTENTION!
Only personnel familiar with this operating manual may operate the snow plow.
Every user should be fully aware of existing dangers and should know how to
avoid them.
2.1. Safety rules
 Before operation the operator must read this operating manual.
 Unfamiliarity with the operating manual can lead to damaging of the plow.
 Using the plow for purposes other than the intended use is forbidden.
 The City plow with the frame has bolts on the mount which act as a mechanical overload safety
system. If those are broken all resulting damages are not covered under warranty.
 Introducing of changes to the construction without manufacturer's approval is forbidden.
 Observe the regulations of the traffic code while operating the plow.
 Operating speeds of the tractor-plow unit should be appropriate to working conditions, such as:
level of unevenness, rocks, curbs and other immovable obstacles.
 Low operating speeds are recommended – using low gears of the tractor. Use of higher speeds can
cause injury to the driver and damage to the plow and the front TPH (three-point hitch) of the
tractor.
 Unauthorized personnel can not remain in the vicinity of the plow.
 Before starting work conduct a check of the device and especially the condition of the main
connections of the plow and the connection of the plow to the tractor.
 In the event of the necessity of working under a plow raised on the TPH of the tractor the plow
must be secured so that it does not fall.
 The condition of bolt connections and other connecting elements should be periodically checked.
Operation with damaged connections is forbidden.
 Carrying people or loads on the plow during transport or operation is forbidden.
 Use original pins and safeguards to connect the plow to the tractor.
 When standing the plow should be in the parking position.
 Damaged hydraulic hoses and other elements of the hydraulic system should be replaced.
 Use only original spare parts which are purchased at our company store or at a dealership.
 During operation, maintenance or adjustment always use protective gloves.
 Do not leave the tractor and plow on inclines. If such need occurs turn off the engine, engage
the parking brake and lower the plow.
 The plow should be stored in a covered area in the retracted position – with the actuators retracted
to protect the piston rods.
ATTENTION!
Ensuring the safety of the work area is the responsibility of the person operating
the machine.

2.2. Safety rules
ATTENTION!
Always observe the instructions on warning signs on the plow which warn of
dangers.
ATTENTION!
 All warning labels should be clean and legible.
 In the event of loss or damage of labels they should be replaced.
 Labels can be purchased from the manufacturer.
ATTENTION!
Any replacement parts should have all warning signs required by
the manufacturer.

2.3. Warnings and prohibitions
ATTENTION!
Despite the fact that the manufacturer of the plow SaMASZ Sp. z o. o.
Bialystok, in order to eliminate danger, assumes responsibility for the design
and construction of its plows, some elements of risk (so called residual risk) are
unavoidable during plow use.
ATTENTION!
Existing residual risk mainly results from inappropriate behavior of the snow
plow operator and not adhering to the rules of the operating manual.
ATTENTION!
While assessing residual risk the snow plow is treated as a machine which to
the moment of its manufacture was designed and constructed according to
the level of technology used at the time of its manufacture.
ATTENTION!
The danger of injury occurs during replacement of any working elements with
sharp edges. During all repairs or maintenance always wear protective gloves.
PROHIBITIONS!
Remember the following prohibitions during snow plow operation.
 Operation of the plow under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medications which reduce motor
skills is forbidden.
 Operation of the plow by unauthorized or untrained personnel is forbidden.
 Using the plow for activities other than those described in the operating manual is forbidden.
3. INTENDED USE AND CONSTRUCTION
The City plows are light duty plows intended for snow removal from roads, car parks, slightly
uneven lots or other similar tasks.
Thoroughly tested construction and the right choice of materials ensure a high reliability and
durability of our products. The City snow plow basically consists of a suspension system with
a replaceable mount and adjustable working moldboards (right and left) regulated using hydraulic
actuators or manually, using adjustment couplers. Dual directional actuators are controlled using
the tractor's hydraulic system with a controllable directional valve. A more detailed construction of
the plow City has been presented on the picture below (Fig. 2).

The City plows have been designed in such a way that they can be mounted on the small
municipal tractors, which because of the specific construction of their front triangular suspension
systems are not able to connect to the above mentioned mounts. For this reason a special municipal
mounting system was designed, which replaces the standard mounting system with the mounting
frame (Fig. 4). City K snow plows have only been designed to less power tractors – municipal.
City Up plows are designed to serve as equipment for low-power vehicles with no own lifting
assembly.
Fig. 4. The City 180 K plow with the municipal mounting system
For the City 180 (K)/200 (K) plows optional support wheels or skids which reduce the pressure
exerted by the plow on the surface therefore extending the life of blade inserts or metal HARDOX
blade inserts (Fig. 5).

Fig. 6. Overview of City 180 Up plow
There is a possibility for the City plow to be connected to machines which do not have hydraulic
connections for controlling the moldboards. For this purpose instead of actuators, at customer's
request, adjustable couplers presented below, are installed (Fig. 7).
