- Extend and retract outboard rollers ONLY in raised position.
To Level Frame
1. Connect coupling to tow vehicle hitch and park on level surface.
2. Extend outboard rollers fully.
3. Lower unit completely to ground.
4. Check slope meter reading. Ball should be centered.
5. If ball is not centered in slope meter, release the lock on the adjustable link. Rotate link until ball is
centered on slope gage.
6. Re-lock adjustable link bar.
To Transport
1. Lift roller to highest point.
2. Retract outboard rollers.
3. Tow at a safe speed.

Maintenance
MAINTENANCE
Before servicing or making adjustments to machine, stop engine on tow vehicle and remove key from igni-
tion. Securely prop FairWay Roller on jack stands.
Use all procedures and parts prescribed by the manufacturer.
Before operating this machine, become familiar with all controls and functions of this unit and the tow vehicle.
Also complete all maintenance requirements and read all safety warnings. By knowing both machines thor-
oughly, how it operates and by doing the prescribed maintenance steps, you can expect relatively trouble-free
operation for years to come.
TOW VEHICLE
You will need a heavy duty vehicle with 4 wheel brakes.
Transport Frame Assembly requires a clevis hitch and a 3/4diameter by 4" pin with some type of lock. Tow
vehicle must be capable of 550 lb tongue weight.
DAILY CHECKLIST
1. Check engine oil level in tow vehicle. Add as needed. DO NOT OVERFILL.
2. Check Fairway Roller for loose or missing nuts, bolts, screws, etc., and tighten or replace as needed..
3. Check that all rollers are in good condition.
4. Grease bearings daily after each use.
5. Check hydraulic hoses for any leaks or loose connections.
6. Check tire pressure. 18 psi (1.3 bar)
7. Check electrical system for loose connections or frayed wiring, including battery cables. Replace any
faulty equipment or tighten if loose.
OPERATION SAFETY
1. Before operation check to see that rollers are rotating properly.
2. When not in use, remove the jack pin and extend the legs to maximum extension, reinsert the jack pin
and secure with a clip. Always use jack stands for safe storage.
LUBRICATION
Use No. 2 General Purpose
Lithium Base Grease and
lubricate DAILY. The Fair-
way Ultra 10 has 13 grease
ttings, one on each pillow
block (A). One on each Roller
Shaft Housing (B). One on
Right and Left Wing (C). Two
on Rear axle (D). When insert-
ing grease, be careful not to
ruin the seal, if this happens,
replace the seal at once. Be
sure to wipe grease tting
clean before injecting grease.
Give only one or two pumps of
grease at each lubrication.

Maintenance
MAINTENANCE
WHEEL MOUNTING PROCEDURE
1. Set park brake on tow vehicle. Turn machine o󰀨 and remove key.
2. Block one of the other wheels.
3. Loosen nuts slightly on wheel to be removed.
4. Lower unit fully to the ground until wheels lift o󰀨 the ground.
5. Remove nuts, remove wheel.
6. Place new wheel on hub lining up bolt holes.
7. Torque nuts to 64-74 ft/lb (87-100Nm) using a cross pattern. Retorque after rst 10 hours and every 200
hours thereafter.
TIRE PRESSURE
Caution must be used when inating a low tire to recommended pressure. Over inating can cause tires to
explode. Tires on the machine should be 18 psi (1.3 bar). Improper ination will reduce tire life considerably.
SERVICE INTERVALS
Before each Use:
Lubricate all bearings on rollers. Use No. 2 General Purpose Lithium Base Grease.
Check tow vehicle uid levels.
Check uid level in power unit. Use Universal Trans-Draulic Oil.
After Each Use:
Inspect hydraulic system for leaks or damage.
Check for loose or missing hardware.
After 10 hours:
Check rollers for wear.
Lubricate all grease ttings
After 50 hours:
Check wheel lug nuts torque to 64-74 ft/lb (87-100Nm).
Inspect tires - Check air pressure 18 psi
After 125 hours:
Lubricate wheel bearings.
After 250 Hours:
Drain oil and ll power unit with approximately 1.25 gallons (4,73 l) Universal Trans-Draulic Oil.
Tire - Torque nuts to 64-74 ft/lb (87-100Nm) using a cross pattern.

Maintenance
BATTERY FOR 12-500
Batteries normally produce explosive gases which can cause personal injury. Do not allow ames, sparks or any ignited
object to come near the battery. When charging or working near battery, always shield your eyes and always provide
proper ventilation.
Battery cable should be disconnected before using “Fast Charge”.
Charge battery at 15 amps for 10 minutes or 7 amps for 30 minutes. Do not exceed the recommended charging rate. If
electrolyte starts boiling over, decrease charging.
Always remove grounded (-) battery clamp rst and replace it last. Avoid hazards by:
1. Filling batteries in well-ventilated areas.
2. Wear eye protection and rubber gloves.
3. Avoid breathing fumes when electrolyte is added.
4. Avoid spilling or dripping electrolyte.
Battery Electrolyte is an acidic solution and should be handled with care. If electrolyte is splashed on
any part of your body, ush all contact areas immediately with liberal amounts of water. Get medical
attention immediately.
STORAGE
1. Before storing clean machine thoroughly.
2. Check bolts and nuts, tighten as necessary.
3. Make all repairs that are needed and remove any debris.
4. Store in a clean and dry area.
5. Make sure rollers are on level ground.
6. Lower the jack stands. Secure with pins.
7. Only after FairWay Roller is securely placed on
a level surface should you remove from the tow
vehicle.
8. Tongue can be folded up by removing the ad-
justment link and replacing with storage strap to
minimize storage space.
