OPERATION

3.3 PREVENTING PROBLEMS CAUSED BY
MUDDY CONDITIONS
In extremely muddy or weedy conditions the WeedRoller
may become stuck. The following is a list of procedures that
will help under these conditions. Try one, or a combination
of as many are needed, until the WeedRoller can complete
its arc without becoming stuck.

3.5 OFF-SEASON STORAGE
The WeedRoller may be left in the lake year around if
the lake does not freeze over. If you are on a lake that
freezes over, remove the WeedRoller and store it for
the winter.

•

The complete unit may be attached to your roll away
dock and stored with it. Raise your dock to lift the drive
head off the ground and fasten each roller assembly to
your dock for easy storage. If stored outside, cover the
drive head and box area with a plastic bag or cover to
avoid harsh weather conditions.

•

The unit can be disassembled into four separate sections: the drive head assembly, and three individual
rollers which may be stored indoors. Be sure to drain
water from rollers and drive head before storage.

•

1. Decrease roller arc to 50 degrees. When rollers begin
to move freely, extend arc in 50 degree increments.

•

It is normal for the drive head to fill with water. When
bringing the drive head into shore, let the water slowly
drain through the bottom shaft seal (this may take
several hours). Tipping the unit to drain from the top
end will unnecessarily expose the motor and electrical
components to water.

2. Remove yellow roller tube caps. Drain water as necessary from roller tubes to increase flotation. Replace
caps.
3. Install a Crary Mud Kit. Order the Wood Buoy Mud Kit
(part #51128) for moderately muddy conditions. Order
the Plastic Pipe Mud Kit (part #51134) for extremely
muddy conditions. See following page for illustrations.
