IMPORTANT GUIDELINES FOR USING THE WEEDROLLER PRO
Tell Your Neighbors:
Neighboring property owners may be curious about your WeedRoller PRO. If you show them the product, and explain
how it works, they will appreciate it and know that it will not negatively affect them. In fact, the improved swimming area
has, in many instances, improved property values.
The WeedRoller PRO will stir up areas where accumulations of light sediment or “muck” exist. These sediments will
move with whatever natural water currents exist. This may, in some cases, cloud the water for your neighbors. They
need to know that the clouding will disappear when the light materials have been carried out of the WeedRoller PRO
area. Also, tests show that most sediment does not move very far from the WeedRoller PRO operating area. The relo-
cated sediment may be measurably deeper within 10 feet of the operating arc, but not much beyond. In most cases, it
does not impact adjoining property. Typically, normal wind and wave action will quickly have the whole area looking as
if nothing has changed.
GATHER UPROOTED WEEDS:
During the initial phase of WeedRoller PRO operation (usually three days or less), existing weeds and vegetation will
become dislodged and fl oat to the surface. Many weeds can fl oat away and re-root somewhere else. During this initial
operating period, it is important to gather these fl oating weed segments and safely dispose of them so you don't contrib-
ute to someone else’s weed problem. Many natural resources departments require clean up of weeds, no matter what
type of weed removal method is used.
With regular WeedRoller PRO use, weeds are prevented from regenerating in the operating area. Therefore, after the
initial phase, the WeedRoller PRO is a weed preventative. Gathering and potential spreading of weeds is generally not
an issue after this initial phase.
BE AWARE OF FISH SPAWNING SEASON:
Many types of fi sh prefer to spawn in weed free and shallow areas. The clear sandy bottom created by the WeedRoller
PRO is often ideal, and many fi sh will be attracted to this area for spawning. The WeedRoller PRO can help increase
the fi sh population if it is not operated during the critical spawning period. During this period, operating the WeedRoller
PRO can destroy the eggs and affect the hatch in the spawning beds. Please identify these critical times by contacting
your DNR or fi sheries specialist, and refrain from WeedRoller PRO operation during this time.
COMPLY WITH STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS:
Restrictions on the WeedRoller PRO may vary from state to state. Additional restrictions may exist within municipali-
ties, counties, or within private lake associations. A permit may be required. Please check with appropriate authorities
regarding applicable requirements.
Individuals within your governing bodies may be unfamiliar with the WeedRoller PRO and issues regarding weed removal.
Inviting an enforcement offi cer to view the WeedRoller PRO while it is in operation may help to clear up any questions
he or she has.
