CAUTION! Before folding and unfolding of the side wings, pull the string to
release the roller locks
4.2.
Adjustments
The roller operates by gravity and requires no adjustments of its operation. The
smoothing harrow can be optionally adjusted in terms of working depth. For this purpose,
the crank mounted on the harrow arm in front of the roller in working position is used (Fig.
1).
4.3.
Operating the roller
Start working with the roller by making the first trial passage. During this task, check
roller adjustment and manner of operation. If necessary, adjust the length of the tractor
fastener so that the roller frame is position horizontally. Travelling speed while working with
the roller should be up to 10 km/h.
CAUTION! Act with due caution while attaching the roller to the tractor and
maintain the minimum speed of the tractor.
A properly attached and adjusted roller should travel behind or in front of the tractor
along a straight line and compact soil at the entire working width.
CAUTION!
Do not operate the roller soil which is too wet because the roller
will be covered with soil.
CAUTION!
Do not operate the roller on rocky soil because the working
elements on the roller may become cracked.

Troubleshooting
Due to its simple design and the applied materials, the roller encounters malfunctions
at an exceptionally low rate. Due to the application of GG20 cast iron of higher strength for
rim casts, rim durability is improved. Remember that following all guidelines presented in
this manual with regard to operation, adjustment, lubrication, transport and storage
considerably contributes to longer trouble-free lifetime.

Roller maintenance
•
After completing the work, lubricate roller bearings, hinges and cylinder bolts
(at least
every 25 hours of operation)
.
For lubrication
purposes, the grease of type ŁT-43 can
be used.
•
Once the work is completed, the soil residues must be removed from the roller.
