Summers 84' Superroller - Manual (Page 31)

SECTION 3 – OPERATION
STEPS REQUIRED TO UNFOLD FROM TRANSPORT TO FIELD 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. Ability to safely operate the Summers Land Roller is determined by both tractor horsepower and
weight. The minimum tractor weight for operating this implement is 30,000 lb. Minimum tractor
engine horsepower is 300. Dual tires or single tires set at maximum width are required for safe
operation of the Land Roller.
3. 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.
4. Park tractor and Land Roller on a firm level surface with enough open area that will allow unfold-
ing Land Roller without contacting obstructions.
5. Remove all cylinder locks and store in the provided storage locations.
6. Make sure the Landroller is following straight behind the tractor. Pull into the field straight and
far enough to back up the Land Roller without hitting any obstructions.
7. Fully retract the pivot lock cylinders. The caster wheel will not pivot if the pivot lock cylinder
is extended. Machine damage may occur if care is not taken to make sure the locks have
been retracted. Damage is not covered under warranty.
8. Back machine up slowly, maneuvering it so wings open evenly. If wings do not open evenly pull
ahead and try again. The caster wheels are designed to pivot in the direction that wing needs to
travel to open up. Once the caster wheels have pivoted the open process should go smoothly.
9. Once the wings have opened up, continue backing until the wings are fully engaged in the wing
guides. If the wings are not opening up equally they will not engage the wing guides at the same
time. Pull ahead and make adjustments so both wings enter the wing guides at the same time.
10. Fully extend the lock pin cylinders.
11. Lower the machine to the ground, continue retracting the cylinders until all cylinders are fully
retracted.
