1.
Position the fill port on the far
side of the can relative to where
you’re standing. This will permit
you to hold the PAINTSTICK
EZ-TWIST at an angle required
to seat it properly on the port.
Hold the PAINTSTICK EZ-TWIST
at a 45° angle and place the
fill port over the fill tube. Gently
push the PAINTSTICK EZ-TWIST
down until it bottoms on the fill
tube. DO NOT KEEP PAINTSTICK
ON FILL TUBE FOR LONGER
THAN ONE MINUTE AT A TIME.
• NOTE:
You may notice
petroleum jelly within the
PAINTSTICK EZ-TWIST handle.
This will help its operation and
will not affect the paint.

to feed paint to the roller cover.

Troubleshooting
Problem:
Difficulty pulling the inner tube from the outer tube.
Solution:
Fully unscrew the handle counterclockwise
to expose all of the screw threads, then
re-tighten the handle.
Problem:
Air is drawn into the PAINTSTICK EZ-TWIST instead of paint.
Solution:
Slowly push handle in to expel air. Remove and reinsert PAINTSTICK EZ-TWIST on fill tube. Be sure fill tube is fully
seated in valve body. If necessary apply petroleum jelly to fill tube which makes it easier to seat fill tube and valve body.
Problem:

Solution:
Put petroleum jelly in fill port opening and/or fill tube.
Problem:
Handle is difficult to move in and out.
Solution:
Lubricate inner tube o-rings (see CLEANING section).

Solution:
Make sure end caps are flush with end on roller cover. If they are ok, remove end caps and reseal with petroleum
jelly (see CLEANING section).
Problem:
Paint leaks out of fill port.
Solution:
Lubricate valve port with petroleum jelly. If this doesn’t work, replace valve kit (See PARTS LIST).
