INSTALLATION
For transport purposes, both the TurfMate and LineMarker are sent disassembled – hence some assembly by the
user is required. The following parts are included:
Handle Assembly
Battery Charger
Front Wheel Assembly
Battery
Rear Axle
Front Wheel and Boom Mount
Rear Wheel (x2)
Tank and Frame Assembly
Owner’s Manual
Battery Cable
Lead-Acid Battery Maintenance Leaflet
Nuts and Bolts etc.
Boom Assembly (TurfMate only)
Nozzle Assembly’s (x4) (TurfMate only)
LineMarker Assembly (LineMarker only)
1.
Slide the rear axle through the tube located on frame underneath the tank. Attach the rear wheels to this
axle by sliding the wheels on to it while ensuring an M12 washer is located both sides of each wheel. Keep
the wheels in position by fixing a split pin to each end of the axle.
2.
Attach the handle assembly to the tank using the four M5 x 25 Screws provided.
3.
Attach the boom mount to the frame by sliding the non-capped end through the frame. Secure to the frame
using the M8 x 40 screw, nut and washer supplied.
4.
Mount the front wheel assembly to the boom mount using the M10 nuts and washers supplied. Ensure the
washers lie either side of the boom mount.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY
Precautions
1.
Preparation for filling:
Take off sealing tape and remove vent plugs ONLY right before filling electrolyte. If your battery is
equipped with a long size exhaust tube, cut off its sealed end at about 3cm (1”) from the tip.
2.
Filling Electrolyte:
Fill battery with electrolyte (dilute sulphuric acid) with the density of 1,260. Fill to the UPPER LEVEL as
indicated on the battery. The electrolyte should be cooled below 30
0
C (86
0
F) before filling. Leave the
battery standing for half an hour after filling. Electrolyte level may have fallen during the standing. Refill
the acid to the UPPER LEVEL.
3.
Charging:
An initial charging is recommended before placing in service when time and equipment permit. Charge
the battery with a current as described in the table below, continuously for 15 to 20 hours. If the
electrolyte level has fallen after charging, fill with DISTILLED WATER to the UPPER LEVEL. After
charging, place the vent plugs in firmly, wash off acid spillage with water, and dry the battery.
Recharging
Charge the battery with a current as described below. Charge until the battery starts gassing freely and the
specific gravity of electrolyte rise higher than 1,260.

NOTE
Battery’s are not sent charged as acid spillage could occur in transit
WARNING
The battery charger should NOT deliver more than 1.2 Amps when the battery is being charged otherwise the
battery may be damaged. The battery charger should preferably be fully automatic.
