ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
• If necessary use a soft headed hammer to tap the
trailer arm onto the axle until the circlip groove is
revealed, fit the circlip, ensuring it is located in the
groove correctly.
Step 5: Attaching draw bar to trailer arms.
• Locate the draw bar assembly.
• Gather the ends of the right and left trailer arms.
• Place the draw bar assembly between the trailer
arms and align the holes, ensure it is in the
correct direction as per the manual drawing.
• Place one 21/2” x 3/8” bolt through each hole, fit
3/8” Nyloc nut to each bolt and tighten securely.
• Test to ensure the trailer catch is correctly locking
the trailer arms in the down position and the
catch locking pin fits correctly when transporting
the roller, for safety.
Step 6: Attaching wheels to trailer arms.
• Locate the two wheels for the left and right side
trailer arms.
• Check tires for the correct air pressure,
approximately18-24psi. Do not exceed this
pressure. The tires act as the suspension, hence
the low P.S.I.
• Remove wheel nuts from both hubs, slide wheels
onto hub with air valves facing outwards. Replace
wheel nuts and tighten securely.
• Ensure the taper on the nuts, mate into the wheel
tapers correctly.
Step 7: Correct dampener strut operation
• When the roller is in the trailing position:
1. Carefully hold the draw bar assembly.
2. Lower machine until the front rests on the
ground.
3. Release the locking catch.
4. Gently with a firm grip begin to raise the draw
bar.
5. When it has travelled sufficiently the dampener
strut will take over and prevent the trailer arms
rapidly rotating on it’s axle, allowing the roller
to lower to the surface gently.
