READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS MANUAL
BEFORE STARTING AND OPERATING THIS UNIT!
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: The CRV will be sent via common carrier on its own trailer and secured to that trailer. It could arrive
in a box truck or an open flatbed. You will find the CRV Trailer is secured to the transport trailer. Before attempting
to unload the CRV and Trailer from the transport trailer, it should be up to a dock for safe removal. Use CAUTION
when preparing to take the CRV off the trailer. Make sure the trailer is level. If you do not have a dock, arrange to
have a flatbed truck to back up to the trailer. (DO NOT USE RAMPS!) Before driving the CRV off the trailer,
disconnect any restraining devices securing the unit to the trailer.
Once the CRV Trailer is out of the transport trailer, read the Operating Instructions.
A. READ BEFORE OPERATING
•Understand the intended use of this equipment. It is designed to pick up cores but can also be used as a
roller to smooth grass playing surfaces. It is not an all-terrain vehicle and should not be used as such.
•Do a walk around the machine looking for damage that may have occurred during
transportation. Be sure to note any damage on the bill of lading. Take pictures
and document all problems. If any damage or leaks are found, report them to
service manager. NOTE: If there are no hydraulic leaks, do not open the
hydraulic tank cap. If it hasn’t leaked, the level will be fine.
•Check engine oil & fuel level.
•Be sure the CRV Trailer is connected to a suitable tow vehicle.
•Before climbing on the machine, pivot the release handle on the trailer.
Unstrap the four straps holding the machine on the trailer. NOTE: These
straps must be used to tie the machine to the trailer before moving.
•Use safety step & bar to climb on the machine and adjust the seat.
•Become familiar with the Controls.
•There are two handles, one on each side
of the seat. These will raise/lower the
elevator conveyors. When they are
pulled back, the elevators are in the
raised position.
•Be sure to raise the conveyors for trans-
portation by pulling back both conveyor
handles towards the rear of the machine.
•The right pedal will cause the machine to go forward; the left pedal will cause
the machine to go in reverse.The farther you press the pedal, the faster the
unit will go.
•Start the engine and allow it to warm up for a couple of minutes. Press the left
pedal easy. The machine will go in reverse and the trailer will tilt and the
machine will roll off the trailer to the ground.

•When ready, press the left pedal and the machine will back off the trailer.
•The locking mechanism will unlock, and the trailer will tilt allowing the CRV to exit the trailer.
•You must shut the engine off and install the Floating Blades. NOTE: They are marked Left and Right
as you look at them from the seat.
C. WHEN YOU ARE READY TO REMOVE CORES
•Once the blades are installed, simply drive the CRV where the cores are to be picked up.
•Turn both Elevator Conveyors on, and lower both conveyors.
•Drive over the turf picking up cores until the Rear Hopper is at a level where you feel it needs to be emptied.
•Turn the Elevators off and drive to the waiting Waste Vehicle.
•Flip the switch for the Waste Conveyor and empty all the cores into the Waste Vehicle.
•Repeat this process until the job is done.
D. WHEN YOU ARE READY TO TRANSPORT TO ANOTHER LOCATION
•Remove both sets of blades.
•Raise both elevators.
•Drive the CRV up onto the center of the trailer into the waiting roll latch.
•The trailer will tilt to a level position and the latch will lock the roll to the trailer.
•The trailer will lock in the level position.
•Dismount the machine and secure the machine to the trailer with the two tie-down straps.
•Also tie the safety tilt strap before towing the trailer.

SERVICE & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Check all hydraulic hoses DAILY or before each scheduled use, for wear and any signs of
chaffing. REMINDER: Drive motor hoses should be treated as wear items and should be
replaced on a yearly basis.
2. Check all fittings for any signs of leaking DAILY or before each scheduled use.
3. Check all grease fittings as listed below on a WEEKLY basis, and grease as necessary. Add
grease until grease leaks slightly from fitting.
a. Bearings on roll housings –qty. 6
b. Pivot bearing on main housing –qty. 12
4. Check the engine manufacturer’s manual for service and maintenance instructions.
5. Fill hydraulic tank to 4-6” below filler cap. Be sure to tighten cap until cap seals.
6. After approximately 1 WEEK of use, and then every 2 WEEKS thereafter, check drive
chains…one on each side on roller drive motor. Pivot motor to tighten chain. NOTE: Check and
adjust the tension of all drive motor chains on a regular basis.
a. There is a pusher bolt to aid in adjusting and must be adjusted along with the motor.
b. The chain should have ⅜” play. NEVER adjust the chain tight with no play. You can
reach under the guard to check for play daily.
7. Wash machine. Keep it clean. Should rust form on rolls, simply drive the unit on a rough area
until rolls are clean.
8. Oil & Filter Type –It has been determined that your Salsco CRV will perform best using a 25
micron filter. Salsco recommends using 15W-50 full synthetic oil. The oil should have a viscosity
rating of at least 122 SSU. While this is not a necessity, it will improve the overall performance of
your machine. Salsco is now using this filter and hydraulic oil on all machines using hydraulics.
Hydraulic oil should be changed after the first 150 hours, and every 500 hours thereafter.
9. Check the rotary brushes to be sure they are in proper adjustments. They should not touch the
roll, ⅛” clearance.
10. Check the roller chains to be sure they are in proper adjustment. Chains should be adjusted so
they fit and are not so tight they will be forced to stretch.
11. All elevators and conveyors are fitted with quick disconnect hydraulic hoses.
12. To remove the elevators:
a. Remove the blades.
b. Disconnect the quick disconnect hoses.
c. Unbolt the bolt at the end of the pivot shaft on the elevators.
d. Slide the elevators off the machine.
13. To remove the rear hopper and conveyors:
a. Disconnect the quick disconnect hoses.
b. Unbolt the 4 mounts built under the hopper.
c. Lift the hopper and frame off the CRV.
14. You now have a Roller.
