1.
Read these instructions carefully, and familiarize yourself with the parts and assembly drawings before
starting.
2.
Remove the hydraulic motors from the cutting units, keeping the nuts with the cutting units. The nuts and
cutting units are not needed for the rollers.
3.
Remove the 5/16” retainer pin from the main attaching pin at the end of the lift arm, raise the lift arm off of
the cutting units, and set them aside.
CAUTION: Some lift arms are equipped with torsion springs and are under tension.
4.
After unpacking the rollers, remove the four loose 5/16” bolts (H-1101) from the lifting/towing bracket,
and set the bracket on top of the roller unit.
5.
Align all four holes, re-install the bolts (H-1101) and nuts (H-3179), and tighten securely.
6.
Remove the ½” bolt from the tow bracket, and set the lift pin into the channel. Install one spacer on either
side of the lift pin (30A-7518), and replace the bolt and nut.
7.
Tighten the bolt until some resistance is felt when pivoting the lift pin (30A-7518). NOTE: The lift pin
needs to remain moveable.
8.
Repeat the above steps for the other rollers. This is a once only procedure.
NOTE: There is an adjuster bolt on the front of the lift pin assembly that controls the forward and
backward tilt of the rollers. You will need to adjust this to fit your needs, i.e., undulations on your
greens, ground clearance while in transport, etc.
10.
Set the rollers in their marked positions (right, left & center) as if you were in the operator’s seat facing
forward.
11.
Raise the lift arm, set the roller in position, and lower the tube end of the lift arm over the lift pin (30A-
7518).
12.
Reinstall the 5/16” retainer pin.

For a 2-Bolt Configuration , remove the hydraulic motor retainer nuts (H-1183) and washers (H-1019) from
the mounting studs (H-1402).
13a. For a 4-Bolt Configuration , remove the hydraulic motor retainer nut (H-3147) and washers (H-1008)
from the mounting studs (H-1403)
14.
Install the hydraulic motor and nuts. Some wiggling may be necessary to align the splines.
15.
Tighten the nuts (H-1183).

Repeat the process for the other rollers.
