• Repack the wheel hubs after the first 500 kilometres of travel ; then yearly thereafter.
• Visually inspect the wheel bolts for tightness each day. Torque to 110 ft lbs. (149 Nm) after the first
few hours of operation and frequently thereafter.
• Ensure the tires are inflated to the correct pressure:
12.5L-15 : 90 psi
380/55 R16.5 : 70 psi
235/75 R17.5 : 125 psi
• Grease all pins and knuckles. (See decals locations)
• Grease harrow chain bearings.
• Visually inspect hydraulic hoses & fittings for leaks or damage.
• Inspect wheel bearings / hubs for tightness and grease.
• Check wheel bolts for tightness and re-torque.
• Visually inspect unit for loose, worn or damaged components.
• Coat any exposed cylinder shafts with thick oil or grease.
• Ensure that parking jacks are situated on firm ground. Failure to do so may cause the hitch to rise
sharply as the jack pads sink into the ground.
• Lock all applicable safety pins into place.
NOTE: All fasteners with locknuts that are used to join moving pieces should not be
tightened completely to allow for movement.

Grease should be applied to both sides of the machine.

13
NOTE: Always choose a level area when folding unit either into or from transport position.
NOTE: Lubricate all pins, axles and bearings regularly to prevent premature failure of compo-
nents. (See Page 14 Section 1 for lubrication diagram).
NOTE: Maximum field operating SPEED OF the LAND ROLLER is 8 mph (13 km/h).
Above this speed damage can occur and will not be covered by warranty.
• Move tractor into position where pin can be dropped into place through draw bar hitch.
NOTE: Use a clevis type tractor hitch with a retained type of hitch pin.
• Retract parking jack and secure in transport position prior to moving the machine.
NOTE: Ensure that parking jack handle is secured by chain prior to moving the machine
(Failure to do so may damage the jack handle).
NOTE: Clean hydraulic hose ends prior to coupling with tractor hydraulic system.
• Ensure that the roller sections are either; Fully raised in transport position, or Fully lowered into
field position.
NOTE: If the Roller is in transport position, ensure that all lock pins are in place.
• Chock block all tires front and back before disconnecting from the tractor.
NOTE: Failure to properly block unit may result in damage or injury. Negative hitch
weight may result if tires are not blocked properly in position.
• Lower parking jack (s) into position, lowering until roller hitch is raised off of the tractor clevis.
NOTE: Ensure that the jack is placed on firm ground prior to un hooking.
• During field operation, always make turns so that the inside wing drum continues to rotate. Sharp
turns will increase the stress applied to the auto-fold system & inside wing drum and may cause
damage to the unit.

14
1. When entering the field from transport, find a location that is as level as possible and stop the trac-
tor / roller.
2. Remove all wing axle safety lock pins and tee lock pins.
3. While moving forward in low gear, feather wing axle wheels by activating the hydraulic steering cyl-
inders to maximum angle (approximately 45 degrees) - the slow moving sign will indicate the posi-
tion.
4. Continue to drive forward slowly, wings will open to about 45 degrees, Stop.
5. Feather wing axle wheels back to straight (transport) position while backing up.
6. Continue to back up until the draft arms / swing arms move into the cam lock sockets.
7. Activate the hydraulics to lower the unit (roller drums) to the ground, hold hydraulic lever until the
wing axles are fully raised.
NOTE: Ensure that all wing transport locks are fully open and draft arm lock is fully closed.
NOTE: F3 (3 Section Roller) does not use / require wing transport lock.

15
1. Bring unit to a complete stop in a level area of the field.
2. Use hydraulic system to raise drums / lower wing axle & walking axle.
• NOTE: Ensure that all wing cam locks are fully engaged.
• NOTE: Ensure that draft arm locks are fully retracted / released.
3. Slowly drive forward until wings have moved into transport position.
4. Replace all safety lock pins and tee lock pins.
5. Unit is ready for road transport.
• NOTE: Ensure safety chains are properly attached to tractor and lighting system has
been activated.
