Summers 84' Superroller - Manual (Page 32)

SECTION 3 – OPERATION
LAND ROLLER FIELD OPERATION:
1. Choose an operating speed which achieves desired results. Operating at over 7 MPH will de-
crease effectiveness and increase chance of immovable rocks denting roller tube. Denting of
roller tube is NOT covered by warranty.
2. Slow down for turns. Because of the weight of the roller turning at high speeds may cause the
tractor to “fish tail”. Control will be more easily maintained at slow rates of turns.
STEPS REQUIRED TO FOLD FROM FIELD TO TRANSPORT POSITION:
1. WARNING: Land Roller must be attached directly to tractor drawbar and not an intermediate
towed vehicle or implement. Loss of control could result causing serious injury or death to you
or others. Never tow this implement with less than an 30,000 lb vehicle.
2. The Summers Land Roller must be connected to a tractor drawbar with a locked draw pin. The
tractor drawbar must be able to withstand 1150 lb of tongue weight during transport and field
operation.
3. WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT to raise machine into transport position if mud has built up
on rollers or if machine weight has been increased by any other means.
4. Activate the wing lock cylinders valve and fully retract the wing lock cylinders.
5. Raise the machine into transport position. Make sure all cylinders have fully extended.
6. Install cylinder safety locks.
ROAD OPERATION:
