Assembly Procedure
Step 1: Mounting the seat to the seat base.
• Use the four /” x ³/” UNC bolts to fasten the seat to
the seat base.
• Remove armrest screws from the seat, position left and
right side armrest, fasten and tighten.
Step 2: Mount the steering joystick to the steering
shaft.
• Select the steering joystick.
• Slide the joystick into the slot on the top of the
steering shaft, already installed in the steering column
directly in front of the foot pedal controls, insert the
³/” bolt into the bottom bolt hole, select a comfortable
operating position, joystick forward for extra
operating room or back for less, once determined
insert the other ³/” bolt into the upper hole and
tighten both bolts securely.
Step 3: Attaching the left-hand trailer arm to machine
body.
• Locate the trailer arm support axle 30mm in diameter
(1/”) which extends out on the left side of the
machine, remove the circlip from the support axle. Oil
machined portion. Slide the left hand side trailer arm,
onto the axle, replace the circlip, ensuring the circlip is
located in the groove correctly.
Step 4: Attaching dampener strut and right hand
trailer arm.
• Locate the trailer arm support axle 30mm in diameter
(1/”) which extends out on the right side of the
machine, remove the circlip from the axle. Hold the
right side trailer arm in the vertical position and slide it
part way onto the axle. Locate dampener strut, remove
packing from the unattached end.
• Apply thread lock “Loctite” to the M10 bolt attached to
the dampener strut. Screw the M10 bolt into the strut
support on the trailer arm.
• If necessary use a soft headed hammer and tap the
trailer arm onto the axle until the circlip groove is
revealed, t the circlip, ensuring it is located in the
groove correctly.
Step 5: Attaching draw bar to trailer arms.
• Locate the draw bar assembly.
• Gather the ends of the right and left trailer arms.
• Place the draw bar assembly between the trailer arms

Step 6: Attaching wheels to trailer arms.
• Locate the two wheels for the left and right side trailer
arms.
• Check tires for the correct air pressure, approximately
18psi. Do not exceed this pressure. The tires act as the
suspension, hence the low P.S.I.
• Remove wheel nuts from both hubs, slide wheels onto
hub with air valves facing outwards. Replace wheel
nuts and tighten securely.
• Ensure the taper on the nuts, mate into the wheel
tapers correctly.
Step 7: Correct dampener strut operation
• When the roller is in the trailing position:
1. carefully hold the draw bar assembly,
2. lower machine until the front rests on the ground,
3. release the locking catch,
4. gently with a rm grip begin to raise the draw bar,
5. when it has travelled suciently the dampener strut
will take over and prevent the trailer arms rapidly
rotating on it’s axle, allowing the roller to lower to
the surface gently.
Step 8: Replace engine oil
• A tag is placed on the engine’s On/O switch
indicating you must ll the machine with oil prior
to operation. Low oil level will cause the engine to
stop on steep hills, the engine cut o safety switch is
designed this way to protect the engine from damage
if low in oil.
• The oil in the engine upon delivery (if not pre-
delivered) is to prevent the inside of the engine from
corroding, replace it with the correct engine oil, as per
the manufacturers specications.
Step 9: Transmission oil tank breather.
• Unscrew the plastic plug if tted from the top of
the tank and replace it with the anti-splash breather
supplied. Seal damage and oil leakage will occur if the
breather is not installed. If this is not done damage to
the seals in the transmission will occur.
Step 10: Lubricate smoothing head pivot bearings.
• There is a grease nipple or zirk located on both
smoothing head centre ball joint swivels. Apply grease
to lubricate ttings.
• When rolling of the green is completed, move the
roller onto the fringe, stop the engine, lock the trailer
into the trailing position, connect it to the towing
vehicle then move o to the next green to be rolled.
Do not put the trailer down into the towing position
on the green; damage may occur to the green from the
roller tires and body. Remember turn o the fuel cock
whilst towing the roller

Operation procedures
Pre-operation checks
• Check engine as per Honda manual.
• Ensure steering joystick has no looseness.
• Check that foot pedal depresses under normal foot
pressure in both directions and returns to the neutral
position. (Similar resistance to a motor vehicle clutch).
If this action is not smooth, check the yoke and
transmission struts for correct operation.
• Ensure that the draw bar locking catch mechanism is
securely locked to the main draw bar and the safety
pin is tted when trailing the roller.
• Check and tighten grub screws tted to the end
bearing lock rings on the rubber coated drive roller
and the spiker shaft bearings & pivot bearings on each
smoothing head.
• Grease lightly bearings tted to drive roller, spiker
shaft and Smoothing Head pivot bearings. Replace
plastic caps if tted.
• Grease rod ends, sparingly.
• Check tire pressure for proper operating pressure
(18psi). Do not over inate.
• Check for oil and fuel leaks - rectify before using
machine.
• Lubricate the drive chain with a suitable chain
lubricant.
Standard operation procedures
• Inspect and check that the roller is serviceable prior to
departing from workshop.
• Use a suitable towing vehicle to move roller from
green to green.
• Maximum recommended towing speed would be
equal to a motorized golf buggy. Approximately
4mph/7kph. Towing at excess speed or across rough
terrain may cause damage to the machine and trailer.
• When approaching the green do not tow the roller
onto the green to set up, put the roller on the fringe
of the green. Put trailer in the up position, start up the
roller and drive it onto the green.
• Greens can be rolled in any direction; take care to
ensure there are no crease lines produced on the
surface.
• It is recommended that you place the smoothing head
rollers on the high side of the green when rolling.
This increases the weight on the rubber drive roller
and gives better traction, it also reduces slipping or
spinning of the drive roller on the green, depending
also on the operators ability. Whilst becoming familiar
with the roller, set the throttle at about ¹/ - ³/ speed.
Press the left or right foot pedal down gently but not
suddenly. Be smooth with your action, hold in this
position until nearing the edge of the green, then take
your foot gently o the pedal, the roller will come to a
stop. Rest your other foot on the opposite pedal and
gently apply the pressure to the pedal. It then starts to
move the roller in the opposite direction. Once again
be gentle with the pedal, but not sudden. By using the
left and right pedal in this manner, will ensure there is
no damage to the green and less wear and tear on the
equipment and operator.
Operation procedures

TRU-TURF RS48-11D USA Roll ‘n’ Spike & RS48-11DB Golf Greens Roller Manual
11
Points to remember
• Make sure the roller is serviceable before rolling.
• Start rolling from the fringe of the green.
• Smooth operation on the foot pedals.
• Pick a point on the other side of the green to roll to.
• Do not look at the green close to the roller; it makes it
dicult to steer the roller straight; look well ahead.
• Use 1/2 throttle until you are procient at operating
the roller.
• Once you choose your rolling line hold the joystick
steady, correcting direction gently as required.
• Move the steering joystick a little at a time to change
direction; excessive movement of the joystick makes it
dicult to maintain a straight line.
• Roll in straight lines.
• Do not leave the engine running with the roller parked
on the green; the engine vibration will cause roller
depression marks on the green.
• Move o the green when rolling is complete before
putting the trailer in the down position.
• When rolling steep greens and the engine stops, check
engine oil level. The engine is tted with a safety
switch; when the engine oil level is low the engine will
stop.
• The correct procedure for rolling the green is:
(a) Select the correct direction to roll the green,
remember this roller can roll the greens in all
directions.
(b) Start on one side of the green and work your
way across the green in a zigzag fashion, slightly
overlapping each lap you roll: this makes sure you
miss no part of the green and all of the green is
rolled. Avoid coming back across the green to roll
missed areas if possible. You should be able to
complete the rolling of 18 greens in the same time
or quicker than by mowing using a triplex mower.
• When rolling of the green is completed, move the
roller onto the fringe, stop the engine, lock the trailer
into the trailing position, connect it to the towing
vehicle then move o to the next green to be rolled.
Do not put the trailer down into the towing position
on the green; damage may occur to the green from
the roller tires and body.
• Remember turn o the fuel cock whilst towing the
roller.
Park brake
• To engage, push parking lever forward until it will
travel no further, the lever operates on a over cam
principal, when it is fully engaged the lever will remain
in this position with the brake applied. To dis-engage
the park brake, pull the lever up and back. The lever
will remain in the o position until re-applied. Do
not operate the roller with the park brake engaged,
damage to the drive roller rubber coating will occur.
• Ensure the park brake is released prior to operating the
roller, if not irreparable damage to the rubber on the
drive roller will occur.
Operation procedures

TRU-TURF RS48-11D USA Roll ‘n’ Spike & RS48-11DB Golf Greens Roller Manual 12
Maintenance
• Stop engine before performing any maintenance.
• Service the Honda engine according to the
manufacturers maintenance schedule.
Transmission (pump, Eaton 11)
• Initially, change the oil at 50 hours running time, then;
• Change oil every 500 hours or annually, whichever
occurs rst.
• Change hydraulic oil lter every 500 hours or annually,
whichever occurs rst.
• Only use the manufacturer’s recommended
replacement oil lter .
• When tting the lter, follow the instructions supplied
with the lter. This will ensure that the lter remains
tight and that no leaks occur.
• Check all hard line oil pipes for rubbing, excessive
vibration, leaks and tightness on a regular basis.
• Check transmission oil level on oil tank sight glass. Oil
level should remain at a minimum of 25mm (1”) and at
a maximum of 40mm (1.5”) from the top of the tank.
• Oil Capacity including lter is 6 liters or 5.3 U.S. quarts.
For the ultimate performance we use and recommend
the Penrite synthetic 5 SAE 5W-60 transmission oil.
(Part No. R5226)
Storing
• It is important to store this roller in the towing
position. This ensures the trailer strut is in the
closed position, protecting the shaft from
corrosion, then failure and also the weight is
taken o the roller bearings.
Service of the drive chain system
• Replacement - Some chains look a like, but
they are not, use only the chain and sprockets
recommended as per the correct spare parts
number. Wrong pitch drive chain tted will
cause excessive sprocket wear and possible
drive failure.
• Tensioning the drive chain - No adjustment
is required; the chain tension is automatically
adjusted.
Lubrication
• Lubricate drive chain with a chain lube such as
Molykote, Innox or ChunkaRocol ITW. Spray
on the inside of the chain so that the lubricant
is forced into each roller and around each pin
prior to rolling of the Greens..
Service of smoothing roller bearings
• Whilst the Roller is suspended by the Trailer,
check operational smoothness of the bearings
tted to each smoothing roller by rotating
the rollers by hand. If bearing tightness,
roughness or excessive looseness is detected,
replace the faulty bearings.
Maintenance

TRU-TURF RS48-11D USA Roll ‘n’ Spike & RS48-11DB Golf Greens Roller Manual
13
Maintenance
• If bearings are faulty
(a) Remove the complete smoothing head from the
machine, undo the four swivel mount bolts on
upper body and steering rod, wheel the roller away
until the total head is exposed to work on.
(b) Remove roller shaft bolts from end plates, remove
rollers from the heads.
(c) Fit new bearings, replace rollers into the heads,
lubricate shaft bolts with an anti seize compound
before installing them. Tighten securely and ensure
rollers rotate freely when fully tightened.
or
If the rollers are a sealed type remove the roller and
replace with a complete new roller.
(d) If the rods are removed or lengths altered ensure
they are correctly adjusted so that the three heads
are parallel to each other when in the straight
ahead position. Adjust if necessary.
