OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FRONT AND REAR ROLERS
Fig. 1
The large front roller has two fill/drain plugs. The roller can be filled with water to the level needed for any
required roller weight. The fill/drain plug threads are the same as standard garden hose end fittings. Water
can be drained out for transporting the machine.

The small rear roller has one fill/drain plug. It is recommended that before operating the Turf Roller the rear
roller should be filled permanently with sand. This improves the stability of the machine, particularly when
operating on a down slope.
To fill the rear roller with sand the following procedure is recommended:
•
Lift the Control Handle up until the rear roller is just clear of the ground.
•
Place a suitable support under the Control Handle.
•
Remove the 7/16 unc x 1 ½ bolts, washers, and locknuts securing the roller bearings and pull the
roller clear of the frame.
•
Stand the roller ‘on-end’. Remove the plug and with a funnel fill the roller with sand. Replace the
fill/drain plug.
•
Refit the roller assembly.

CAUTION
When operating the machine on a down slope do not stop the machine abruptly. A
sudden stop may cause the machine to tip forward.
DO NOT OPERATE UP/DOWN OR ACROSS SLOPES GREATER THAN 20 DEGREES.
