The Crary WeedRoller® PRO slowly rolls along the lake bottom, agitating the lake bed material. This agitation prevents lake bottom weeds from rooting down. Meaning, with routine use, these weeds are simply removed before they even appear.

It’s time to take back your beach with an environmentally-friendly WeedRoller PRO. No need to use hazardous chemicals in the lake to control weeds. Various weed removal products such as rakes are troublesome and very labor intensive. Plus, who wants a big pile of wet, stinky weeds on the dock after removal? Not to mention the weeds will soon return. The WeedRoller PRO not only does the job once, it continues to patrol the lake bottom for regrowth.

The basic 28 volt WeedRoller PRO kit has enough clearance for 4.5 feet of water at the “Drive head”. This kit includes universal dock hardware, 21 feet of lake bottom rollers, the standard 28 volt power head and a power converter which converts 110 volt standard power to 28 volt. All this comes packaged in three convenient boxes and can be shipped via UPS.

21 Feet of Lake Bottom Rollers

The three 7 foot rollers make the WeedRoller PRO easy to handle and simply bolt together with a steel coupler at the beginning and flexible couplers between the 7 and 14 foot lengths. An optional coupler can be installed between these tube assemblies to provide additional flexibility. These couplers allow the rollers to follow variations in the contour of the lake bottom. All tubes are made of aluminum and are 6 inches in diameter. Add up to three more rollers for a total of six, which gives the user 42 foot radius of weed removal. Easily adjustable arc for consistent stop position, left or right.

Dock Mounting

The basic hardware mounts to docks with support legs of 2 inch (or less) diameter round or square dock posts. There is also an optional tripod mounting kit, allowing it to be self standing.

Auto-Time Out

The WeedRoller PRO senses heavy weed or muck conditions that may prevent it from getting through its full travel path on the first try. If sensed, it will automatically reverse rotation to avoid getting stuck. For further protection, if unsuccessful after three attempts the unit will shut down to allow removal of the obstruction.

Additional Depth Kit

The basic 4.5 foot operating depth can be increased in 2.5 foot increments (maximum of 2 kits).

Safety First

110-volt household current is converted to 28-volt AC through the power converter. Also included is an 8 amp circuit breaker on the 28 volt, AC side.

Maximum Operating Specifications

• Adjustable up to a 300 degree arc.
• Operates in up to 9.5 feet of water at the power head.
• Extendable to 42 feet of lake bottom rollers.
• 10 degrees of flex for each flexible roller joint.

Environmental

WeedRoller PRO has been approved by most state environmental agencies. Specific approval or permits may be required. Always follow state and local regulations when using your WeedRoller PRO. Gather and properly dispose of weeds that are removed upon initial use. For specific information regarding your region’s regulations, see your local WeedRoller PRO dealer.

The WeedRoller PRO is Environmentally Friendly

The WeedRoller PRO is of course, chemical free. Seasonal use of the WeedRoller PRO will eliminate the need for adding toxic weed control chemicals that are harmful to lake life and water quality.

The WeedRoller PRO has been known to provide great spawning areas for most types of fish. It also can provide the perfect “attack” zone for fish. This is the “weed line” where large fish hide waiting for the smaller fish to appear in the open. This attack zone is a great area for fishing.

The WeedRoller PRO is Safe

The WeedRoller PRO works automatically when the waterfront is not in use. Low voltage D.C. electrical power provides an added measure of safety when wiring is run along the dock. WeedRoller PRO should not be operated during swimming or other waterfront activities.

Refer to the WeedRoller PRO operator’s manual for additional information regarding the use of the WeedRoller PRO.

Tell your Neighbors

Most neighboring property owners will be very curious about your WeedRoller PRO. The improved swimming area has in many instances improved property values.

The WeedRoller PRO will stir up environments where accumulations of light sediment or “muck” exist. These sediments will move with whatever natural water currents exist. This may in some cases “cloud” up the water for your neighbors. They need to know that this will occur only until the light materials have moved out of the WeedRoller PRO area. Also, tests show that the greatest volume of sediment does not move very far from the WeedRoller PRO operating area. The relocated sediment may be measurably deeper within 10 feet of the operating arc, but not much beyond. In most cases, this has not produced ill affect for adjoining property. Typically, normal wind and wave action will quickly have the whole area looking as if nothing has changed.

Gather Uprooted Weeds

During the initial phase (usually 3 days or less) of operation of the WeedRoller PRO, existing weeds and vegetation will become dislodged and float to the surface. Many weeds can float away and re-root somewhere else. It is important to gather these floating weed segments and safely dispose of them. Many Departments of Natural Resources require clean up of weeds, no matter what type of weed removal method is used.

With regular WeedRoller PRO use, weeds are prevented from regenerating in the operating area. The WeedRoller PRO is a weed preventative. Gathering and potential spreading of weeds is generally not an issue after this initial phase.

Be Aware of Fish Spawning

Many types of fish prefer to spawn in weed free and shallow areas. The clear sandy bottom created by the WeedRoller PRO is often ideal, and many fish will be attracted to this area for spawning. The WeedRoller PRO can be a great compliment to increasing the fish population if it is not operated during the critical spawning period. Please identify these critical times by contacting your DNR or fisheries specialist, and refrain from WeedRoller PRO operation during this time.

Comply with State and Local Regulations

The legal use of the WeedRoller PRO may vary from state to state. Additional restrictions may sometimes exist within municipalities, counties, or within private lake associations. A permit may be required. Please check with the appropriate authorities regarding applicable requirements.
