Step 6: Attaching wheels to trailer arms.
• Locate the two wheels for the left and right side trailer
arms.
• 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:
1. carefully hold the draw bar assembly,
2. lower machine until the front rests on the ground,
3. release the locking catch,
4. gently with a fi rm grip begin to raise the draw bar,
5. 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.
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-
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 if fi tted from the top of
the tank 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
