Assembly Procedure
Step 1.
Remove components from crate.
Step 2.
Bolt the three point linkage top bracket onto the body
using /” x 2” bolts and /” spring washers. (Note this
bracket will only t one way).
Step 3.
Using 2 by /” link pins and 2 by 7/” locking pins attach
chain to chain pivot bracket as per diagram on page 7.
If Required
Step 4.
Bolt the two weight carring brackets on the top of the
roller on the outer ends, ensure they are facing the
correct way.
Step 5.
First slide the weight bars into the outer brackets, then
slide the other end into the slot on the 3 point linkage.
Ensure the locking slot drops down and into place
correctly. Put the /” x 1” UNF bolts and nuts in the
weight bars at the 3 point linkage end, screw the nut on
rmly to stop it vibrating o. This prevents the weight bar
sliding out of position.
Step 6.
As a option tractor outfront weights can be mounted on
these weight bars to increase roller weight if required. It is
advisable to place the weights equally on either side.
Step 7.
Remember increasing the roller weight also means that
a larger tractor is required to lift and carry the roller or
add aditional wheel weights to the tractor to avoid the
possibility of the tractor raring or tipping over causing a
accident and possible injury to personel.
Attaching A Tractor
Important: Tractor must have a minimum of 40 horse
power towing capacity. (Additional roller weights
means the use of a larger tractor).
Step 1.
Using 2 by /” link pins and 2 by /” locking pins attach
the three point linkage arms to the bottom bracket holes
on the body of the roller.
Step 2.
Attach chain pivot bracket to the top bracket, keep the
bracket close to vertical.
Step 3.
Attach one end of chain to the chain pivot bracket using
/” link pins, fasten with locking pin.
Step 4.
Attach the other end of chain to the three point linkage,
use the top bracket hole leave enough slack so that when
the roller is raised the front roller is approximately 5” o
the ground before the rear roller leaves the ground. This
will ensure the roller follows the ground contours at all
times.
Assembly

TRU-TURF SR72 Sports Turf Roller Manual 6
Rolling Only
Rolling can be done at speeds of up to 12mph (19kph).
Best results are achieved when there is a moisture content
in the ground.
To Spike The Field Surface
With the roller in the raised position, engage the spiker
blades by using the black handle across the rear of
body. Remove locking pins and push handle away from
you. Select the 1” (2.5cm), 1½” (3.8cm) or 2”(5cm) depth
setting as required. Pull towards yourself and replace
locking pins. These pins prevent the black handle from
disengaging when reversing only.
To Engage The Rolling Position
With tractor moving forward slowly lower roller to
ground, then accelerate to the desired rolling speed.
Important: Do not turn sharp whilst spiking the elds
or tearing of the grass may occur.
