Assembly
• Check tires for the correct air pressure, approximately
18psi. Do not exceed this pressure. The tires act as the
suspension, hence the low P.S.I.
• Remove wheel nuts from both hubs, slide wheels onto
hub with air valves facing outwards. Replace wheel
nuts and tighten securely.
• Ensure the taper on the nuts, mate into the wheel
tapers correctly.
Step 7: Correct dampener strut operation
• When the roller is in the trailing position carefully
hold the draw bar assembly, release the locking catch,
gently with a fi rm grip begin to raise the draw bar,
when it has travelled suffi ciently the dampener strut
will take over and prevent the trailer arms rapidly
rotating on it's axle, allowing the roller to lower to the
surface gently. This prevents the operator from being
injured. When the roller is resting on the ground push
the trailer arms back gently, (do not use excessive
force) until the trailer arms will travel no further. The
dampener strut is designed to hold the trailer arms
back behind the operator with the wheels off the
ground.
Step 8: Replace engine oil
• A tag is placed on the engine's On/Off switch
indicating you must fi ll the machine with oil prior
to operation. Low oil level will cause the engine to
stop on steep hills, the engine cut off safety switch is
designed this way to protect the engine from damage
if low in oil.
• The oil in the engine upon delivery (if not pre-
7
delivered) is to prevent the inside of the engine from corroding,
replace it with the correct engine oil, as per the manufacturers
specifi cations.
Step 9: Transmission oil tank breather.
• Unscrew the plastic plug from the top of the tank if fi tted and
replace it with the anti-splash breather supplied. Seal damage
and oil leakage will occur if the breather is not installed. If this is
not done damage to the seals in the transmission will occur.
Step 10: Lubricate smoothing head pivot bearings.
• There is a grease nipple or zirk located on both smoothing head
centre ball joint swivels. Apply grease to lubricate fi ttings.
• When rolling of the green is completed, move the roller onto
the fringe, stop the engine, lock the trailer into the trailing
position, connect it to the towing vehicle then move off to the
next green to be rolled. Do not put the trailer down into the
towing position on the green; damage may occur to the green
from the roller tires and body. Remember turn off the fuel cock
whilst towing the roller
