Swath Roller

INTRODUCTION

Buhler Farm King brings you this all-steel swath roller in eight and ten food models.
Compress your canola and flax swath to prevent crop loss by wind scattering. Ground
clearance is easily adjusted with a crank at both ends. Hook

Hook up to your swather with the swivel hitch…and take your mind off the wind.

Keep this manual handy for frequent reference. All new operators or owners must
review the manual before using the equipment and at least annually thereafter. Contact
your Buhler Dealer if you need assistance, information, or additional copies of the
manual. Visit our website at www.buhler.com for a complete list of dealers in your area.

The directions left, right, front and rear, as mentioned throughout this manual, are as
seen facing in the direction of travel of the implement.

SAFETY

Remember, YOU are the key to safety. Good safety practices not only protect you, but
also the people around you. Make these practices a working part of your safety
program. Be certain that everyone operating this equipment is familiar with the
recommended operating and maintenance procedures and follows all the safety
precautions. Most accidents can be prevented. Do not risk injury or death by ignoring
good safety practices.

The alert symbol is used throughout this manual. It indicates attention is required and
identifies hazards. Follow the recommended precautions.

The safety alert symbol means…

ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

CAUTION

The caution symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not

avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to
alert against unsafe practices.

WARNING

The Warning Symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if
not avoided, could result in death or serious injury, and includes hazards
that are exposed when guards are removed. It may also be used to alert
against unsafe practices.

DANGER

The Danger Symbol indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if

not avoided will result in death or serious injury. This signal word is to be
limited to the most extreme situations, typically for machine components
that, for functional purposes, cannot be guarded.
