Operation procedures
Operation procedures
Pre-operation checks
• Check engine as per Honda manual.
• Ensure steering joystick has no looseness.
• Check that foot pedal depresses under normal foot
pressure in both directions and returns to the neutral
position. (Similar resistance to a motor vehicle clutch).
If this action is not smooth, check the yoke and
transmission struts for correct operation.
• Ensure that the draw bar locking catch mechanism is
securely locked to the main draw bar and the safety
pin is fi tted when trailing the roller.
• Check and tighten grub screws fi tted to the end
bearing lock rings on the rubber coated drive roller
and the spiker shaft bearings & pivot bearings on each
smoothing head.
• Grease lightly bearings fi tted to drive roller, spiker
shaft and Smoothing Head pivot bearings. Replace
plastic caps if fi tted.
• Grease rod ends, sparingly.
• Check tire pressure for proper operating pressure
(18psi). Do not over infl ate.
• Check for oil and fuel leaks - rectify before using
machine.
• Lubricate the drive chain with a suitable chain
lubricant.
Standard operation procedures
• Inspect and check that the roller is serviceable prior to
departing from workshop.
• Use a suitable towing vehicle to move roller from
green to green.
• 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.
• 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, start up 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 on the rubber drive roller
and gives better traction, it also reduces slipping or
spinning of the drive roller on the green, depending
also on the operators ability.
Whilst becoming familiar with the roller, set the
throttle at about ¹/2 - ³/4 speed. Press the left or right
foot pedal down gently but not suddenly.
Be smooth with your action, hold in this position until
nearing the edge of the green, then take your foot
gently off the pedal, the roller will come to a stop.
Rest your other foot on the opposite pedal and gently
apply the pressure to the pedal.
It then starts to move the roller in the opposite
direction. Once again be gentle with the pedal, but not
sudden.
By using the left and right pedal in this manner, will
ensure there is no damage to the green and less wear
and tear on the equipment and operator.
• The correct procedure for rolling the green is:
(a) Select the correct direction to roll the green,
remember this roller can roll the greens in all
directions.
(b) Start on one side of the green and work your
way across the green in a zigzag fashion, slightly
overlapping each lap you roll: this makes sure you
don’t miss any part of the green and all of the
green is rolled. Avoid coming back across the green
to roll missed areas if possible. You should be able
to complete the rolling of 18 greens in the same
time or quicker than by mowing using a triplex
mower.
