SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR USE OF PRODUCT
*The most important information is knowing how to stop your riding mower or lawn tractor, read your equipment’s owner’s manual
for horse power and towing weights
*With increased towing weight, your stopping distance increases also
*Do not tow (or push) the roller up or down steep ditches or hills. Be extremely cautious around steep grades
*Watch for holes, uneven terrain and other possible obstacles
*Inspect roller and all hardware periodically. Be sure all parts are secure before and during operation
*Never carry any passengers with you
*Do not operate lawn roller on slopes greater than 10 - 12 degrees
USING YOUR LAWN ROLLER
*Remove the expansion plug by loosening the wing nut.
*Fill your roller with water or sand to recommended weight for your towing equipment (mower or lawn tractor). DO NOT GO
OVER YOUR TOWING EQUIPMENT’S WEIGHT LIMIT. Failure to do so can result in damage to the towing equipment and/or
personal injury.
*Replace the expansion plug and tighten the wing nut. Make sure the plug is tight enough to stop any leakage.
*Your lawn should be moist for best rolling conditions. Excessive water or muddy conditions are not recommended.
*Keep your mower or lawn tractor at a safe and steady speed. 3 - 4 MPH is a good speed for proper operation.
*Damage to your mower, lawn tractor and/or personal injury can occur if you start or stop the roller (filled) abruptly.
*When finished using the roller, drain and let the interior fully dry. Never leave water in the lawn roller during cold weather. Freezing
can occur, damaging the plastic body causing leaks and/or structural failure.
MAINTENANCE
*Always check all the hardware before use. Make sure all hardware and components are tight and secure.
*Always keep moving joints lubricated. Lubricate where the Axle extends through the Hitch Side Bar when needed.
*Keeping the roller clean and dry will prolong the unit’s life.
*Sand off any rust that might occur, and paint exposed metal with a quality enamel paint.

STEP 2
Attach the Hitch Side Bars (8) to the
Center Brace, using 3/8” x 1” Hex
Head Bolts (6) and 3/8” Lock Nuts (5).
Fig. 3
Insert the 3/8” x 3/8” Spacer (10) between
the two Hitch Side Bars. The Spacer needs
to be attached to the second hole back from
the front of the Hitch Side Bars. Secure the
Spacer in place by inserting a 3/8” x 1-1/2”
Hex Head Bolt (12) through one Hitch Side
Bar then the 3/8” x 3/8” Spacer and the other
Hitch Side Bar. Thread a 3/8” Lock Nut (5)
onto the bolt end. Note: Do not tighten this
bolt and nut yet. Fig. 3
Insert the other 3/8” x 1-1/2” Hex Head
Bolt (12) through the first hole on the Hitch
Side Bar. Thread a 3/8” Lock Nut (5) onto
the bolt end. Note: Do not tighten this bolt
and nut yet. Fig 3.

STEP 3
Attach the two Clevis Plates (13) to the end
of the Hitch Side Bars using 3/8” x 2-1/4”
Hex Head Bolts (9) and 3/8” Lock Nuts (5).
The bolts for the Clevis Plates “straddle”
(one bolt on each side) of the first
3/8” x 1-1/2” Hex Head Bolt on the end of
the Hitch Side Bar. This keeps the Clevis Plate
assembly from slipping off the Hitch Side Bars
when the unit is in use. Fig.4
Now tighten the four 3/8” Hex Head Bolts
(3/8” x 1-1/2” from STEP 2 and the
3/8” x 2-1/4” from the above procedure)
and 3/8” Lock Nuts. Fig. 4
Insert the Clevis Pin (11) through the hole
on the Clevis Plates and secure with the
