IMPORTANT GUIDELINES FOR USING THE WeedRoller:

Tell your Neighbors

Most neighboring property owners will be very curious about your WeedRoller . If you show themthe product, and explain how it works, they will appreciate it and know that it carries no long termnegative effects for them. In fact, the improved swimming area has in many instances improvedproperty values.

The WeedRoller 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 lightmaterials have moved out of the WeedRoller area. Also, tests show that the greatest volume ofsediment does not move very far from the WeedRoller operating area. The relocated sedimentmay be measurably deeper within 10 feet of the operating arc, but not much beyond. In mostcases, this has not produced ill affect for adjoining property. Typically, normal wind and waveaction 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 , existing weedsand vegetation will become dislodged and float to the surface. Many weeds can float away andre-root somewhere else. During this initial operating period, it is important to gather these floatingweed segments and safely dispose of them. You don't want to contribute to someone else'sweed problem. Many Departments of Natural Resources require clean up of weeds, no matterwhat type of weed removal method is used.

With regular WeedRoller use, weeds are prevented from regenerating in the operating area.Therefore, after the initial phase, the WeedRoller is a weed preventative. Gathering and potentialspreading 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 bottomcreated by the WeedRoller is often ideal, and many fish will be attracted to this area for spawning.The WeedRoller can be a great compliment to increasing the fish population if it is not operatedduring the critical spawning period. The operation of the WeedRoller can destroy the eggsand affect the hatch in the spawning beds. Please identify these critical times by contacting yourDNR or fisheries specialist, and refrain from WeedRoller operation during this time.
