OPERATOR’S MANUAL

Spare parts
Spare part should be ordered according to the spare parts catalogue, using full name of the part and
the part number from the catalogue.
ATTENTION!
Use only original equipment and spare parts from the SaMASZ Company. Parts
from an unknown source or home made parts are less durable and have a
negative influence on the operation of the plow and work safety.
As an option,
Ram
plows can be equipped with ordered support wheels or slides, owing to which the
plow’s
pressure onto the ground can be reduced, and therefore life of either clearing bars can be
extended.
