IMPORTANT
VERIFICATION OF WARRANTY REGISTRATION
DEALER WARRANTY INFORMATION & REGISTRATION VERIFICATION
It is imperative that the selling dealer registers this machine with McConnel Limited before
delivery to the end user – failure to do so may affect the validity of the machine warranty.
To register machines go to the McConnel Limited web site at www.mcconnel.com, log
onto ‘Dealer Inside’ and select the ‘Machine Registration button’which can be found in
the Service Section of the site. Confirm to the customer that the machine has been
registered in the section below.
Should you experience any problems registering a machine in this manner please contact
the McConnel Service Department on 01584 875848.

NOTE TO CUSTOMER / OWNER
Please ensure that the above section above has been completed and signed by the selling
dealer to verify that your machine has been registered with McConnel Limited.
IMPORTANT: During the initial ‘bedding in’ period of a new machine it is the customer’s responsibility
to regularly inspect all nuts, bolts and hose connections for tightness and re-tighten if required. New
hydraulic connections occasionally weep small amounts of oil as the seals and joints settle in – where
this occurs it can be cured by re-tightening the connection – refer to torque settings chart below.The
tasks stated above should be performed on an hourly basis during the first day of work and at least
daily thereafter as part of the machines general maintenance procedure.

ABOUT THIS MACHINE
The SWH 8 AND SWR 10 are ballast type rollers designed for agricultural use and
feature two steel drums in a fabricated steel frame. The drums rotate on a steel shaft
mounted in replaceable bearing blocks.
A replaceable scraper bar helps prevent a build-up of dirt on the rollers.
An axle frame and wheels with pneumatic tyres are provided for road transport.
The SWR 10 is designed for ‘end on’ transport and a separate drawbar is provided
for this purpose. The SWH 8 is transported normally. The axle and wheels are raised
and lowered hydraulically by a double acting ram. Hydraulic power is provided from
the tractors double acting spool valve.
The hydraulic hoses are provided with quick release couplings complete with dust
covers.
It is intended to be attached to a Agricultural vehicle by means of the "Drawbar-hitch"
couple-up system.
The purpose for its production and its sole intention is to roll suitable pieces of land.
At no time must this machine be used for anything other than, or to do any job -
other than that for which it has been designed (see note above).

HEALTH AND SAFETY
Never attempt to assemble, couple up,
or operate machinery until you
understand fully the functions, controls
and safety precautions required, as
shown in the operators manual.
Always follow tractor safety operations
and instructions VERY carefully.
NEVER TAKE RISKS
CAUTION.
Be aware of warning and instruction decals on machine as care must be taken and
instructions obeyed.
Never drive machinery at speeds that
could cause danger to other persons or
properties, or in a manner that may
cause accidents.
Never attempt to Service/adjust or work
on any machinery in an unsupported
state.
Always ensure that machinery is safely
supported and propped in position.
Always ensure that the implement is
'chocked' firmly and it will not move,
before attempting to 'service' or 'work on'
in any way or form.
CAUTION
Always "SWITCH-OFF" tractor engine before attempting to carry out adjustment or
service repairs and inspections, on machinery.

7
Always be aware of your surroundings
- and operate machinery accordingly.
Beware of confined-tight areas, low
height restrictions, buildings and
overhangs etc. Also drive and operate
bearing in mind weather conditions
such as sun, rain, ice, snow, wind etc.
(Make allowances in all situations).
CAUTION
Never carry "passengers" on machinery or on tractor.
Ensure bystanders/onlookers are kept well away from operational area of apparatus.
CAUTION
'PARKING UP' MACHINE
When machine is being removed from tractor linkage and being 'parked up' it is
essential that a good firm base and level site be found.
Always chock and prop machine to ensure a good firm position to leave parked.
Ensure that stand legs of machine are correctly locked into position.
CAUTION
Never allow children to play on, or around, parked machinery.
CAUTION
Never wear loose fitting or ragged clothing which could get caught in machinery or
controls.
CAUTION
Always dispose of discarded or worn out parts thoughtfully - by disposing of them in
an approved and specified legal scrap site, bin or skip.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Before attaching any machine to a tractor make sure that implement is still
standing firmly on good solid - level site as it will be, providing unit was
previously parked correctly.
-Check that any wheels are 'chocked' correctly and that supports/props are in
position where necessary to prevent booms etc. dropping.
2. Before and during the manoeuvring of the tractor or vehicle in order to attach
machinery/implements, - make sure that No other persons are in the vicinity.
Keep other persons well clear and make known your intentions, all the while
keeping a sharp lookout whilst reversing and aligning machines for coupling
up.
3. Always secure tractor into selected position by ensuring that brakes are
applied correctly in order to prevent vehicle moving off on its own to cause
injury and damage.
4. Check that the hitch on the tractor is in good condition and that the hitch pin
used is of the correct size and type to suit the drawbar of the roller, and is
properly secured when fitted.
5. Never attempt to work on, adjust or service repair machinery of any kind whilst
it is still running or working. Always stop the machine and STOP THE
TRACTOR ENGINE - before any service/repairs begin.
(SWITCH OFF TRACTOR ENGINE BEFORE LEAVING TRACTOR SEAT)
6. In transit always use transport stays or locking devices where provided.
If, as in the case of some longer machines, the unit is transported lengthways
- make sure that the front of the tractor is suitably ballasted to maintain
stability.
A method of achieving this would be to add suitable weights to a correctly
specified and fitted front weight frame.
7. Always use machines in a sensible and reasonable manner and do not
attempt to use them in work for which they are not intended. Avoid
overloading and abusing them as this can cause damage to machine and
tractor and can be very dangerous.
8. When detaching a machine from a tractor ensure that any stands or legs are
securely positioned and that the machine is parked where it will not be a
safety hazard or cause annoyance to others.
Make sure that chosen 'parking site' is a firm and level site.
9. Carry out regular periodic maintenance. - Always with safety in mind.

10
SAFETY WHEN ROLLING
Before starting work with any roller
ensure that the bearings are properly
greased and that all bolts and nuts are
tight.
Remember that a heavy roller will add
to your momentum and will require a
longer distance for stopping. Particular
care will be needed on hilly or sidling
ground.
Avoid turning so acutely that the
tractors rear wheels foul the rollers
drawbar.
Do not attempt to use rollers when the
ground conditions are unsuitable i.e.:-
When ground is excessively wet or
greasy.
When ground is frozen or thawing after
a frost.
Do not attempt to use the rollers on
very steep or sidling ground.

11
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND ‘LAYING-UP’
DAILY
Check end float and adjust if necessary.
WEEKLY
Grease pivot points thoroughly.
Check all bolts and nuts for tightness.
ANNUALLY AND LAYING-UP
Periodically (once a year should suffice)
check the bearings or bushes, spacer and
axle for wear; dismantling if necessary.
Replace any parts that are appreciably
worn.
Lubricate and use anti-corrosion measures
when storing the roller
.
For Ballast Rollers some form of frost
protection is strongly advised: be it draining
the drum for winter, filling drums entirely
with waste oil or the use of anti-freeze.(See
below)
