SPYKER R28-1824 Owner's manual

  • Hello! I'm your chat assistant. I've reviewed the user manual for the Spyker lawn rollers R28-1824 and R76-2436. This document provides crucial information about operating, maintaining, and storing your lawn roller safely. It highlights important details such as weight capacities, proper towing, and lubrication requirements. Feel free to ask me any questions you have about the use of your roller, and I'll do my best to assist you based on the manual.
  • How much does the R28-1824 roller weigh when full?
    How much does the R76-2436 roller weigh when full?
    What should the soil condition be for good leveling?
    Can sand be used instead of water?
    How can I prevent flat spots on the roller during storage?
