5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Filling the Roller

The garden roller can be filled with either sand or water to achieve the desired weight for compaction. The filling opening is located on the side of the roller drum.

• For lighter compaction: Fill with water. The maximum weight when filled with water is approximately 60 kg.
• For heavier compaction: Fill with sand. The maximum capacity is approximately 50 liters.

1. Unscrew the filling cap on the side of the roller.
2. Carefully fill the roller with water or sand using a funnel if necessary.
3. Do not exceed the maximum capacity of 50 liters.
4. Securely screw the filling cap back on to prevent leakage during operation.

5.2 Using the Garden Roller

The garden roller is used to compact soil, press seeds into the ground, and level surfaces in your garden.

• For newly sown lawns: Gently push or pull the roller across the freshly sown area. The weight of the roller will press the seeds into the soil, improving contact and germination rates.
• For leveling soil: Use the roller to smooth out uneven patches in garden beds or before laying turf.
• The integrated scraper prevents soil and debris from accumulating on the roller surface, ensuring smooth operation.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, clean the roller drum and scraper with water to remove any soil or debris. Dry thoroughly to prevent rust.
• Storage: When not in use, empty the roller of its contents (water or sand) to prevent freezing damage in cold weather and to reduce storage weight. Store in a dry, covered area.
• Inspection: Periodically check all bolts and connections for tightness. Tighten if necessary. Inspect the roller surface for any damage or excessive wear.
• Rust Prevention: The roller is made of steel. While it may have a protective coating, prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to rust. Ensure it is dry before storage.
