Operating instructions

Troubleshooting:
Roller Does Not Turn:
• With mower turned OFF, check to see if any type of debris such as bark,
twigs, stones, or other objects have obstructed the roller’s ability to turn.
If so, with mower turned OFF, remove debris from the roller.
• Make certain that roller plug, on roller tube, is fully tightened. Check to see
that roller plug is flush with end cap. A loose plug will impede roller’s ability
to turn properly.
• Make certain that the roller is filled with approximately 16 to 20 pounds of
DRY sand. An empty or partially filled roller may not function properly.
Patterning Effect Does Not Show:
• Make certain to view with ‘line of sight’ in mind.
• Lawn Stryper
TM
attachment installed incorrectly – refer to Owner’s Manual.
• Grass may be cut too short.
• For dormant or drought stricken grass. S&B Lawn Systems Inc.,
recommends that the Lawn Stryper
TM
attachment not be used when grass is
dormant or is under stress due to drought.
• Grass may be damaged, unhealthy or too sparse.
• Lack of proper sunlight – partial/full sun is optimal.
U-Bar Assembly is Hitting the Ground:
• With mower turned off, set u-bar assembly to proper height as outlined in
Owner’s Manual.
• With mower turned off, make certain that height is the same on both sides
as outlined in Owner’s Manual.

General Tips Continued:
Patterning Effect:
The Lawn Stryper
TM
attachment is specifically designed to properly ‘bend’ grass
after it has been cut. This proper ‘bend’ results in light reflecting differently off
each side of grass thus producing the pattern effect. Results may vary based
upon health of grass, length of grass, type of grass, dormant/drought stricken
grass, available sunlight and/or seasonal conditions.
Obstructions:
If obstructions such as fences, retaining walls, driveways, walkways, curbs,
ditches, embankments or other objects are present, remove (WITH MOWER
TURNED OFF) Lawn Stryper
TM
Roller Assembly from hitch system. Once cut
around obstruction is complete, attach (WITH MOWER TURNED OFF) the
Roller Assembly to hitch system to return to patterning.
