MANUALS, TRANZ-FORMER 5-G, REV. 1/4/2021 6
READ BEFORE OPERATING THIS UNIT!
OPERATOR SAFETY!
Understand the intended use of this equipment. It is designed to smooth grass playing
surfaces. It is not an all-terrain vehicle and should not be used as such!
1. Walk around the machine looking for damage or leaks. If there are no hydraulic leaks, do not open the
hydraulic tank cap. If it hasn’t leaked, the level will be fine.
2. Check engine oil & fuel level.
3. Climb on the seat, adjust the seat, and FASTEN THE SEAT BELT
4. BE SURE the roll/transport switch is in the roll position.
5. Quick look around to be sure no one is near the machine.
6. Start the engine. This machine has a FUEL INJECTED ENGINE, so THERE IS NO CHOKE.
7. Once the engine starts, raise the throttle to about ½ throttle.
8. Look at the rolls. They should be oriented as if the machine was going straight. This can be achieved
by turning the steering wheel until the front roll appears to be straight.
9. Now press the lower button to lower the front and rear wheels.
a. WITH ROLLS DOWN & WHEELS UP, THE UNIT WILL ROLL & SMOOTH GRASS PLAYING
SURFACES
b. WITH ROLLS UP & WHEELS DOWN, THE UNIT CAN BE TRANSPORTED ON WHEELS TO
THE NEXT PLAYING SURFACE TO BE ROLLED.
c. ALWAYS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE TRANSFORMING FROM TRANSPORT
TO ROLL OR VICE VERSA.
10. NOTE: The raise/lower wheels and wings in and out buttons should be pressed one at a time and not
in a jogging way. Just press the button until the function is complete. Jogging these buttons will cause
a safety circuit breaker to trip. Should this happen, relax for two minutes and try again.
11. Once the wheels are lowered and the machine is in the transport position, press the wings “in” button to
retract the roller wing into a travel position. NOTE: BE SURE no one is standing near the wings.
12. Now put the Roll/Transport switch into the transport position.
13. By pressing the foot pedal forward, the machine will move forward. NOTE: The further you press the
pedal, the faster the machine will go.
14. To stop or reverse travel of the machine, simply depress the pedal next to the forward pedal. This will
slow, stop and reverse the machine.
15. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE when operating this machine that the engine should be run at full RPM
and the machine speed should be controlled by depressing travel pedals.
16. ONCE YOU ARRIVE AT THE LOCATION TO BE ROLLED, press the Wings Out Button until wings
are both fully extended. Again, be sure no one is standing near the machine.
17. Press the raise wheels button. BE SURE the wheels are raised fully.
18. Put the Roll/Transport switch to roll position.
19. You are ready to roll.
20. CRUISE CONTROL:
a. Should only be used by an experienced operator.
b. NEVER use cruise control when rolling the greens. Only use on an open area such as fairways.
c. Moving forward in roll or transport, move the cruise control lever to the “on” position.
d. Press the pedal forward and you should feel the cruise control engage.
e. NOTE: There is a safety release pedal on the left side of the forward pedal and must be pulled
towards the operator for the cruise control to work. PRESS THE CRUISE DEACTIVATION
PEDAL TO RELEASE THE CRUISE CONTROL. (See the picture of the pedals on page 7 of
this manual for the location of the pedal.)
BE AWARE of terrain & surroundings! Potholes or steep hills could become a
danger. ALWAYS traverse hills “up & down”……………..NEVER across hills.
