WARNING
WARNING
Kesmac Turf Rollers are designed for safe efficient operation and must not be used for any purpose other than that
for which they are designed.
Prior to being shipped from the manufacturer the machines are inspected to insure that all guards, shields and
warning/operating decals are correctly positioned and secure.
Before operating the machine the operator must check that all of the above items are correctly located.
Machines must not be used if any guards, shields or warning/operating decals are damaged
or missing.
DURING MAINTENANCE
Use only genuine Kesmac replacement parts. Parts that are not supplied by Kesmac may not meet Kesmac
specifications or standards of manufacture and may void warranty. The use of non-approved parts may result
in component failure and possibly cause an accident and injury to the operator or others.
CAUTION
Allow sufficient time for the engine to cool down before doing any service work.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in burns from hot exhaust components.
NOTE
Reference to RIGHT or LEFT are to be interpreted as viewed from the driver/operators
position looking forward.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FRONT AND REAR ROLERS
Fig. 1
The large front roller has two fill/drain plugs. The roller can be filled with water to the level needed for any
required roller weight. The fill/drain plug threads are the same as standard garden hose end fittings. Water
can be drained out for transporting the machine.
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
The small rear roller has one fill/drain plug. It is recommended that before operating the Turf Roller the rear
roller should be filled permanently with sand. This improves the stability of the machine, particularly when
operating on a down slope.
To fill the rear roller with sand the following procedure is recommended:
Lift the Control Handle up until the rear roller is just clear of the ground.
Place a suitable support under the Control Handle.
Remove the 7/16 unc x 1 bolts, washers, and locknuts securing the roller bearings and pull the
roller clear of the frame.
Stand the roller on-end. Remove the plug and with a funnel fill the roller with sand. Replace the
fill/drain plug.
Refit the roller assembly.
Fig. 2
CAUTION
When operating the machine on a down slope do not stop the machine abruptly. A
sudden stop may cause the machine to tip forward.
DO NOT OPERATE UP/DOWN OR ACROSS SLOPES GREATER THAN 20 DEGREES.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ENGINE SPEED CONTROL
Refer to the Honda Engine Owners manual for the instructions on setting the engine speed.
Set the engine speed control to give two-thirds throttle opening.
IMPORTANT
Do not run the engine at low speed as this may cause damage to the
transmission due to inadequate cooling air flow.
WARNING
When the engine is running and the hand control lever is in the NEUTRAL
(centered) position, the transmission is in FREE-WHEEL mode and if the
machine is left unattended it can move/roll and cause personal injury or
machine damage.
MAINTENANCE
ENGINE
Refer to the Honda Engine Owners Manual for recommended engine maintenance procedures,
TRANSMISSION Fig. 4
Check the oil level in the transmission oil reservoir
DAILY. The reservoir is marked correct
level when COLD. DO NOT OVERFILL.
IMPORTANT
USE SYNTHETIC SAE 5W40
ONLY. PETRO-CANADA*
DURON SYNTHETIC OR
EQUIVALENT.
Fig.4
*FOR CLOSEST PETRO-CANADA DEALER
CALL CANADA 1 800 268-5850
USA - 1 800 284-4572
U.K. - +44(0) 2476-247294
IMPORTANT
If the Roller is inadvertently upset, e.g. tips forward,
ensure that the oil levels are checked in the
Transmission and Engine and topped up if
necessary. Failure to do so can cause serious
damage to both units.
MAINTENANCE
FORWARD-NEUTRAL-REVERSE ADJUSTMENT
It is important that the F N R Control Lever and the transmission Lever Arm are adjusted to
give the correct forward and reverse speeds. When replacing parts or servicing the unit, adjust
as follows.
Remove the Cable End Clevis from the Transmission Lever Arm.
Release the four nuts on the Adjusting Bolts and screw in the bolts fully.
Adjust the Cable End Clevis to allow the Clevis Pin to fit through the Lever Arm but NOT
moving the Lever Arm from its neutral position. (From Serial No. 233 a bushing is fitted
in the lever arm. Check that it is in place if applicable.)
Move the Control Lever to the FORWARD position until the transmission Lever Arm hits
its internal stop. Hold the Control Lever in this position and unscrew the FORWARD
Adjusting Bolt until it touches the transmission Lever Arm. Tighten the Locking nuts.
Repeat the above adjustment for the REVERSE setting except that the reverse
Adjusting Bolt should be unscrewed a further inch after touching the Lever Arm, This
reduces the maximum reverse speed.

MAINTENANCE
DRIVE CHAINS, REMOVE / REPLACE / ADJUST
FIG. 6
To adjust the Roller Drive Chain 1:
Loosen the Bolt 2 and Nut 3, this allows intermediate Spindle 4 to slide up or down.
Position a suitable bar/tool in the frame and against the bottom of the Intermediate
Sprocket 5.
Apply sufficient weight on the bar/tool in the direction of arrow A, to tension the Roller
Drive Chain 1.
Tighten the Bolt 2 and Nut 3.
To adjust the Intermediate Dive Chain 6:
Back-off the bolt in the Idler Adjusting Sprocket 7.
Apply pressure in direction of arrow B to tension the Intermediate Chain 6.
Tighten the bolt in the Idler Adjusting Sprocket 7.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT OVER TENSION THE DRIVE CHAINS. THEY MUST NOT BE BAR TIGHT.
THIS WILL CAUSE PREMATURE CHAIN WEAR AND BEARING FAILURE.
LUBRICATE THE CHAINS WITH OIL. DO NOT USE GREASE.
Fig.6
IMPORTANT
When it is required to fold up the handle, for storage or transport, remove the LOWER
BOLT to allow the handle to pivot over-center and remain in position.
If the unit is to be transported long distances or over bumpy surfaces a shock cord from the
handle to the frame will provide extra security.
Fig.7
LUBRICATION
Fig.8
1.
TRANSMISSION: SYNTHETIC SAE 5W40. Check oil level daily.
If the Roller is used daily it is recommended to change the transmission oil every 2 months.
Occasional service would allow that period to be extended accordingly, but not to exceed 12
months. To change the oil:
Fig.9
2.
3.
CHAINS: SAE 30 OIL. Daily. (DO Not Use Grease On The Chains.)

Fig.9
Regular washing and cleaning of your Kesmac Turf Roller will be a benefit in operation,
maintenance and reliability.
