OPERATOR’S MANUAL
2.2. General design
Rotary snow blower Tornado generally consists of linkage, working assembly and hydraulically
adjustable blowing tube.
Drive is transmitted from tractor's PTO shaft by telescopic articulated shaft (6) onto gearbox (4).
The gearbox powers blower's rotor (11) and milling screw (10) through intermediate telescopic
articulated shaft (7) and chain gear (5).
Tornado blowers can have optionally mounted tube extension (9). Blowing tube along with its
extension has been designed so as to enable quick mounting and dismounting of these parts.
Therefore, if there is need for quick dismounting of the tube for repair, transport or performing extension
(distraction), it is enough to unlock and take out mounting pins located at the tube (extension) base,
and then separate the tube and the extension. In order to re-mount blowing tube, perform the above in
reverse order.
More detailed design of rotary snow blower Tornado is provided in Fig. 2.

NOTE:
Optional extra equipment should be ordered separately.
Spare parts should be ordered according to spare part catalogue by giving full name of the part
as well as its catalogue no.
NOTE:
Use only genuine SaMASZ fittings and spare parts. Spare parts of unknown
origin or new made feature lower strength and have unfavourable influence on
machine’s performance and overall safety. The SaMASZ co. does not bear any
responsibility for damages and defects caused as a result of applying non-
genuine parts and fittings.
3. SAFETY CONDITIONS
NOTE:
It is forbidden to operate the Rotary snow blower without previously reading the
instruction manual, and for it to be used by persons not authorized to drive
vehicles, especially children. Rotary snow blower can only be operated by
personnel who learned contents of this manual. Each operator of blower should
be fully aware of potential risks resulting from its operation and should know
how these are avoided.
3.1. Safety principles
❑Prior to operation read the operator's manual carefully.
❑Ignorance of the operator’s manual can lead to blower's damages.
❑DO NOT use blower to applications other than mentioned.
❑Observe all safety signs, warnings or warning signs placed on the machine.
❑DO NOT apply any modifications of construction without prior arrangement with the manufacturer.
❑During operation of the machine the Regulation of the Farm Ministry and Food Economy
(Rozporządzenie Ministra Rolnictwa i Gospodarki Żywnościowej) from 12.01.1998 dealing with
safety and hygiene during the operation of tractors, machinery, tools and equipment used for
farming (Dz. U. nr 12/98 poz. 51), should be observed.
❑When driving on public roads always respect the local traffic regulations.

TORNADO
ROTARY SNOW BLOWER
OPERATOR’S MANUAL
❑Operating speeds of the tractor and plow set should be adjusted to operating conditions such as:
size of unevenness, presence of stones, curbs and other municipal obstacles.
❑It is recommended to keep low operating speed –with low tractor gears engaged. Operation with
higher speed may expose the operator to injuries and blower’s and tractor’s 3-point linkage parts
to damaging.
❑There should be no unauthorized personnel present within the blower’s operating reach.
NOTE:
Keep the children away from the machine both in operation and standstill.
NOTE:
Securing both danger area and activity performed shall lie under responsibility
of the person in charge of the machine transporting.
❑Prior to operating, the machine should undergo a technical inspection paying particular attention
to condition of basic connections of machine’s assemblies as well as proper mounting of the
machine to a tractor.
❑The tractor used with the blower should be equipped with a driver's cabin.
❑When performing any activity requiring lifting onto tractor’s 3-point linkage, it is necessary to
protect the blower from falling.
❑When not operating, the blower should be in standstill position.
❑Do not let the vehicle's engine operate without any supervision. Before leaving the vehicle, turn the
engine off and take the ignition key out.
❑The operator is not allowed to leave the tractor while driving.
❑Bolts and other fasteners should be inspected on regular basis. Operating with damaged or worn
fasteners is not admissible.
❑No person or object is allowed to be present on the blower when transported or operating.
❑It is forbidden to climb the machine while operating.
❑Special attention should be paid to the cover-guards of the drive shafts. Never work with damaged
shaft guards.
❑Damaged hydraulic hoses and other hydraulic parts should be replaced with new ones.
❑Hydraulic hoses should be periodically checked and in the event of damage or age should be
replaced. Hydraulic hoses should not be used for a period longer than 5 years.
❑Never repair damaged hydraulic hoses with tape.
❑While connecting hydraulic hoses to the hydraulic connectors on the tractor make sure
the hydraulic system of the tractor and the machine is not under pressure.
❑When working with hydraulic systems wear safety glasses and work gloves. Hydraulic oil under
pressure (20 MPa) can penetrate the skin and cause an infection. In the event of such injury
immediately get medical care.
❑Blower should be mounted on tractor only with genuine pins and safety devices.
❑If any part of the snow blower needs to be replaced, use only genuine spare parts according to
spare part list.
❑In the event of any break in the equipment operation, turn off the drive.

❑Any maintenance and adjustment work is allowed only with the drive disconnected and the milling
screw and rotor in complete standstill.
❑Before any maintenance, assembly, disassembly and when parking set the machine on a stable
ground and secure it against accidental movements.
❑During working, maintenance and adjustment of machine, it should be used personal protection.
NOTE:
Any maintenance or repair of the snow blower should be done with the tractor
engine off and all rotating parts at rest.
❑Do not leave the tractor with mounted blower on slopes. If need be, the engine should be shut down,
tractor’s parking brake engaged and the blower lowered.
❑The blower should be stored in a roofed place, in compact position –with cylinders off to provide
good protection of bearings.
❑In case of a fatal failure, stop the machine's drive, turn the tractor's engine off and take out the
ignition key. Then call for technical service, and if an accident (in this case: road accident) occurs,
respect first aid rules and contact responsible authorities.
3.2. Relocating machine onto another vehicle for transport
Both the carrier and the driver shall be responsible for the plow transport safety. Any equipment
and parts must be secured properly for transport.
In order to safely relocate the snow plow onto another vehicle, please follow these rules:
❑to lift the machine, use only lifting devices with hoisting capacity bigger than the machine weight
provided on data plate. It also applies to ropes and chains used for lifting,
❑transport belts, belt suspensions, ropes cannot be damaged. Whenever damages to these parts are
spotted replace these with new ones,
❑seize the blower by any lifting device only in places indicated on the machine with the hook sign
(Fig. 3),
❑when mounting slings, chains, handles etc. always pay attention to setting the machine's center of
gravity properly (Fig. 4),
❑to catch machines, pick ropes of adequate length, so that the angle between them is no greater than
120°, and the angle between the strand and the vertical is no greater than 60°,
❑collapsible parts should be blocked in transport position,
❑during putting the machine onto another vehicle it is forbidden for anybody to remain in transport
area,
❑on the vehicle’s trailer the machine should be secured against moving.
