STANDARD OPERATION PROCEDURES
•
Check the position of the transmission neutral lever, (attached to the transmission bracket). Ensure
lever is in the upright position. If this lever is in the forward position, the transmission is in neutral
& the roller will not operate.
•
Inspect and check that the roller is serviceable prior to departing from workshop.
•
Use a suitable towing vehicle to move roller from green to green.
•
Do not speed when towing roller or travel across rough terrain at excessive speeds. If you do,
damage may occur to the trailer or rubber coated drive roller. Maximum recommended speed
would be equal to a motorized golf buggy. Approximately 4mph / 7kph.
•
When approaching the green do not tow roller onto the green to set up; put the roller on the fringe
of the green. Put trailer in the up position, start up the roller and drive it onto the green.
•
Carefully select the direction you roll the greens, roll with the undulations not across them; take
care to ensure there are no crease lines produced on the surface.
•
It is recommended that you place the smoothing head rollers on the high side of the green when
rolling. This applies more weight on the rubber drive roller and helps give more traction thus less
