OPERATION
3.10 OPERATING IN MUDDY CONDITIONS
The WeedRoller PRO can get stuck in extremely muddy or weedy conditions. Try one or more of the following proce-
dures until the WeedRoller PRO completes an arc without getting stuck.
•
Start with only one roller attached to the unit and add rollers as the lake bottom conditions improve.
•
Decrease roller arc to 50 degrees. Extend the arc in 50 degree increments when the roller begins to move freely.
•
Remove roller tube caps. Drain water as necessary from roller tubes to increase flotation. Replace caps.
•
Install a Crary Mud kit. Order the Mud Kit (PN 51320) for moderately muddy conditions. Order Plastic Pipe Kit
(PN 51134) for extremely muddy conditions.
3.11 ADJUSTING BRACKETS TO CONDITIONS
The WeedRoller PRO dock mounting brackets can be adjusted in a variety of different ways to help deal with muddy or
uneven lake bottoms.
•
For very weedy or mucky conditions, raise the drive head assembly so its base is a few inches above the lake
bottom, then tighten the adjustment knobs. This raises the roller tubes slightly to make it easier for the tubes
to clear weeds and muck.
• Leave the adjustment knobs off if the lake bottom is uneven, or covered with small rocks or branches. This
allows the drive head assembly to slide up and down freely on the rear post weldment and enables the roller
tubes to conform to slight variances in the lake bottom. Clear as many rocks and branches as possible from
the lake bottom before using WeedRoller PRO.
