12 L-1681BH-MEnglish Manual
USE AND CARE
• The key to years of
trouble-free service is to
keep your Lawn Roller
clean and dry.
• Occasionally check all moving parts for free
movement and, if necessary, lubricate with oil.
• Should rust develop, sand lightly and then paint
area with enamel.
• Periodically check all fasteners for tightness.
We recommend the following steps for
the care of your Roller to prevent at spots:
If a at spot develops during storage, rst ensure
the roller is empty. Next, leave it out in the sun to
warm (we recommend sitting it out on pavement
for at least one day).
Once this is complete, roll it around to reduce
the at area.
MAINTENANCEOPERATION
• Refer to tractor manual to determine proper
towing capacity of your Tractor / Rider.
• Fill the roller with amount of
water recommended for your tractor / rider.
Screw in the plug and tighten securely.
• The plug has an o-ring to create a seal and
prevents the drum contents from leaking out.
• For longest life, drain the roller, leave the
plug out, and if possible, hang the roller
when not in use to prevent possibility of
developing a at spot.
• If a at spot develops on the roller during storage, ensure
roller is empty then leave out in the sun to warm and roll
around to reduce at area.
• Please note that sand may be used
in place of water with no risk of freezing.
• Ground condition is vital to good leveling.
Soil should be moist, but not muddy.
• Refer to your Tractor or Riding Mower Owner’s manual for
proper towing capacity and safe operation of your towing
equipment. Towing / Stopping distances will be greatly
aected by added weight of roller.
CAUTION! Do not overload your Tractor / Rider.
Roller fully loaded with water weighs:
PRC-241BH & PRC-241BH-A = 270 lbs
PRT-361BH & PRT-361BH-A = 690 lbs
PRT-361SBH & PRT-361SBH-A = 390 lbs
PRT-481SBH & PRT-481SBHC-A = 485 lbs
Rollers yield the best results when ground
conditions are correct, and equipment is
operating at less than 3 mph.
CALIBRATING YOUR TRACTOR
TO 3 MPH:
Measure a distance of 20 feet on a flat,
level surface. Adjust tractor throttle and
select a gear to cover this distance in 4.5
seconds.
TRACTOR / RIDING
MOWER SPEED
If possible, hang the roller when not in use to
prevent the potential occurrence of the drum
