The small rear roller has one fill/drain plug. It is recom
mended that before operating the Turf Roller the rear
roller should be filled permanently with sand. This improves the stability of the machine, particularly when
operating on a down slope.
To fill the rear roller with sand the following procedure is recommended:
• Lift the Control Han
dle up until the rear roller is just clear of the ground.
• Place a suita
ble support under the Control Handle.
• Remove the
7/16 unc x 1 ½ bolts, washers, and locknuts securing the roller bearings and pull the
roller clear of the frame.
• Stand the roll
er ‘on-end’. Remove the plug and with a funnel fill the roller with sand. Replace the
fill/drain plug.
• Refit the roller ass
embly.

CAUTION
When operating the machine on a down slope do not stop the machine abruptly. A
sud
den stop may cause the machine to tip forward.
DO NOT OPERATE UP/DOWN OR ACROSS SLOP
ES GREATER THAN 20 DEGREES.
