1. Wash the entire machine thoroughly using a
water hose or pressure washer to remove all
dirt, mud, debris or residue.
AUTOFOLD LATCH ADJUSTMENT
Autofold
Latch
Autofold Cable
If the Autofold Latch will no longer fully open
enough to release the Swing Arm for transport, this
may be due to the slight stretching of the autofold
cable. To Adjust:
1) Place Landroller into Field Position (wings
out) with the Swing Arm in the latched (secured)
position.
2) Lower the wheels raising the drums off the
ground. (This should open the Autofold latch in
order for the Swing Arms to release. If the latch
does not open enough to allow the swing arm(s) to
release, continue to the next step.)
3) Adjust the nut on the Eyebolt until the latch is
open just enough for the Swing Arm to clear. This
should be the correct amount of tension for the
cable.
2. Inspect all parts to see if anything has become
entangled in them. Remove the entangled
material.
3. Lubricate all grease fittings to remove moisture
(except spherical bearings - refer to pg.11)
4. Inspect all hydraulic hoses, fittings, lines and
couplers. Tighten any loose fittings. Replace any
hose that is badly cut, nicked or abraded or is
separating from the crimped end of the fitting.
5. Touch up all paint nicks and scratches to prevent
rusting.
6. Oil the exposed rams on the hydraulic cylinder
to prevent rusting.
7. Select an area that is dry, level and free of
debris.

SPHERICAL BEARING
COMPONENTS
Lock Nut
Lock
Washer
(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 frame 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 Landroller front hitch frame float plate has been
placed into the float position using the ratchet jack. Float plate gap
should be raised to approx. 1-1/4”.
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.
