HARDWARE SPECIFICATIONS
Note: Unless stated otherwise, hardware is typically:
Hex, Plated GR5 UNC or P8.8 (metric)
TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
Checking Bolt Torque
The tables below give correct torque values for various bolts
and capscrews. Tighten all bolts to the torques specifi ed in
chart unless otherwise noted. Check the tightness of bolts
periodically, using these bolt torque charts as a guide.
Replace hardware with the same strength (Grade/Class) bolt.
• Make sure that all components in the hydraulic
system are kept in good condition and are clean.
• Replace any worn, cut, abraded, fl attened or
crimped hoses and metal lines.
• Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the
hydraulic lines, fi ttings or hoses by using tape,
clamps or cements. The hydraulic system operates
under extremely high-pressure. Such repairs will
fail suddenly and create a hazardous and unsafe
condition.
• Wear proper hand and eye
protection when searching for a
high-pressure hydraulic leak. Use
a piece of wood or cardboard as
a backstop instead of hands to
isolate and identify a leak.
• If injured by a concentrated high-pressure stream of
hydraulic fl uid, seek medical attention immediately.
Serious infection or toxic reaction can develop from
hydraulic fl uid piercing the skin surface.
• Before applying pressure to the system, make sure
all components are tight and that lines, hoses and
couplings are not damaged.
HYDRAULIC HOSE SPECIFICATIONS
Note: Unless otherwise stated, Hydraulic Hoses are
either 3/8 or 1/2 with 3/4 JIC female swivel ends.
The following tips are to help you identify some possible
problem areas in the installation of hydraulic hoses.
1. Ensure hoses are not twisted during installation as
this may weaken the hose. Also, the pressure in a
twisted hose may loosen fi ttings or connections.
2. Allow suffi cient bend radius in hoses when installing
to prevent lines from collapsing and fl ow becoming
restricted.
3. When installing hoses in an area of movement or
fl exing, allow enough free length for motion and to
ensure fi tting connections are not stressed.
4. Ensure hoses are properly clamped and secured in
position after routing is complete to provide a cleaner
installation and prevent possible damage or hazards.

(Note: Do NOT grease spherical bearings)
1. Support and secure roller frame. Center roller drum between roller frame before installing bearings.
2. IMPORTANT: Check the position of the snap rings in the assembled bearing unit. They should be
located in the “fixed” position (See fig.1). On occasion they have may been sent in the default
“floating” position from the supplier but must be relocated to the ”fixed” position before installation.
Note: Appropriate eye protection should be worn when handling snap rings.
3. Loosen the locknut almost all the way, with the exception of a few threads to keep it on the sleeve.
4. Push the locknut/sleeve firmly inward against the bearing and hold. While holding, slide the assembly
onto the shaft until the bearing housing is in position against the roller frame (holding the locknut is
important so the sleeve doesn’t tighten between the bearing and the shaft while sliding into position).

5. Install the bearing mounting hardware loosely, re-check that drum is centered, adjust as necessary,
then tighten mounting hardware.
6. Hand tighten the locknut and ensure adapter sleeve no longer rotates.
7. Tighten the locknut 1/3 of a rotation or 120º. A hook spanner or a hammer and punch are
commonly used. Torque to 140 lb.ft (190 N.m) if possible.
8. Bend one of the tabs on the circumference of the lockwasher into the nearest notch on the rim of the
locknut. If no tabs line up, tighten the locknut slightly. The locknut should not be loosened in order to
align the tab with a notch.
Bearings come pre-lubricated with Shell Alvania #3
and require no lubrication upon initial installation.
9. After final assembly of machine, spin drums to ensure they spin freely.
Note:Do NOT grease spherical bearings - even if grease fitting is present.
REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Support and secure roller frame.
2. To remove the bearing unit from the shaft, raise the bent lockwasher tab, loosen the locknut two or three turns, then
tap the nut over its entire circumference with a hammer and punch. Ensure sufficient threads remain engaged as to not
damage them. Continue tapping until the adapter sleeve can be moved.
3. Loosen and remove the mounting hardware. Clean outer shaft for easier removal. Slide complete bearing unit off.
Figure 1
3. To remove the bearing insert from the housing, remove one of the snap rings and slide the bearing out.
Appropriate eye protection should be worn when handling snap rings.

Troubleshooting
GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTOM PROBLEM SOLUTION
Uneven ground contour,
and more compaction on
the center section of the
Landroller.
When driving in the field
position, the wings fall
back.
One wing won’t open up
into field position.
Landroller rollers won’t turn. Material build-up around rollers. If it is only
Excessive play or excessive
binding in rockshaft area
(center frame wheel
assembly).
The center hitch cylinder is not in the float
position.
When putting the Landroller into field position
it is not latching correctly.
Uneven ground, faulty relief, swing arm tubes
seized and also possible binding in the cross
joint area.
one roller that doesn’t turn, it might be a
faulty bearing.
Cast support blocks around rockshaft not
correctly adjusted.
Ensure that the operator has the center hitch cylinder in the float
position on his tractor.
Ensure the Landroller is on level ground when backing up to the
latch mechanism, and that the swing-arms fully engage into the
latches. The transport wheels must be fully up in order for the
latches to fully engage. If problem still occurs, adjust the eye bolt
on the cable for mechanism to latch tighter.
Ensure on level ground. Try backing up a slight slope to help
assist the wings to fold out. Unhook the swing arm tube, and
move manually to make sure that the swing arm is not seized.
If problem stays contact your local Degelman dealer.
Ensure that there is no material build-up around rollers.
Lower the rollers to the ground and lift the transport wheels off the
ground. Check if the play in the rockshaft area is excessive. If so,
remove the cap of the casting blocks around the rockshaft, and
remove shims until desired clearance is needed to take the play
out. Note: Do not remove too many shims, and make it too tight.
If in case of binding make sure you have adequate grease in the
block itself. Make sure, it’s not rusted from a long time of storage in
one position.
Lowering into field, and
raising into transport
uneven.
Can’t remove rear transport
wheel for repair.
Rear square tubes on rear wheel frame down
to tires become restricted or seizing.
Not enough clearance between roller drum
and wheel hub.
Lower the rollers to the ground undo one of the pins, and move
manually by hand to free up the tubing. Caution: If seized and
then forced by hydraulics, it could cause failure in the tube area.
Follow the Tire Maintenance procedure in the Service and
Maintenance section of the manual which involves removing the
cylinder pins.
