Standard Operation Procedures
1. Inspect and check that the roller is serviceable
prior to departing from workshop.
2. Use a suitable towing vehicle to move roller
from green to green.
3. Maximum recommended towing speed
would be equal to a motorized golf buggy.
Approximately 4mph/7kph. Towing at excess
speed or across rough terrain may cause
damage to the machine and trailer.
4. When approaching the green do not tow the
roller onto the green to set up, put the roller
on the fringe of the green. Put trailer in the up
position, switch on the roller and drive it onto
the green.

Greens can be rolled in any direction; 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 increases the weight onto the
rubber drive roller and creates better traction,
it also reduces slipping or spinning of the drive
roller on the green, depending also on the
operators ability.
