Operation
NOTE!
Snow clearing rate should always be adjusted depending on current road
conditions. When clearing snow, do not drive faster than
5 km/h
.
Prior to lowering and starting the machine, which is mounted on the tractor, make sure
whether there are no unauthorized personnel (children in particular) or animals within the
operating reach. The blower's operator is obliged to provide good visibility of the machine and
operating range. When operating with the blower it is forbidden to take any place other than the
operator's seat in the vehicle's cabin or to leave the cabin during operation.
Rotary snow blower
Tornado
has been designed to be operated at the front with possibility
of mounting it on a rear linkage. However, front PTO drives might not transmit such high torque
as rear ones. This is why with snow's large weight, which is to be put aside or cleared, the blower
needs to be aggregated with tractor on rear-3point linkage with recommended PTO shaft's rate of
540 rpm
. Owing to this, the blower operates more smoothly and does not load the tractor as when
mounted on the front 3-point linkage. As it is recommended by the manufacturer, if snow cover
height is more than
50 cm
, then operating rate should be reduced or the blower should be mounted
on tractor's rear 3-point linkage. Figure below provides blower's all possible working positions.
