CLEAN
UP
When
you
are
finished
striping,
remove
the
roller
applicator,
tube
assembly,
and
hose
from
the
RollMaster™
5000.
This
is
done
by
opening
the
Trough
as
described
earlier.
Remove
the
end
of
the
hose
attached
to
the
paint
pail
tube.
Making
sure
the
end
of
the
hose
is
kept
upright
so
not
to
drip
any
paint.
Remove
the
hose
from
side
of
eyebolt
and
lift
hose,
mandrel
tube
and
mandrel
together
off
machine.
This
prevents
any
paint
coming
in
contact
with
the
pumping
mechanism,
which
assures
the
owner
of
the
RollMaster™
5000
a
clean,
long
lasting
piece
of
equipment.
Helpful
Hint
:
Use
a
2lb.
coffee
‘can’
or
similar
container
to
place
the
hose
&
mandrel
assembly
in
for
transporting
to
a
sink
for
cleanup.
The
mandrel,
tube
assemblies,
and
the
roller
then
can
be
washed
out
in
a
solvent,
paint
thinner
or
water
for
future
use.
If
you
desire,
the
mandrel
can
be
washed,
and
the
hose
and
roller
may
be
tossed
away
and
a
fresh,
inexpensive,
replacement
kit
can
be
purchased
from
your
dealer
or
Newstripe.
OPERATIONAL
NOTES!
DO
NOT
use
lacquer
based
or
FAST
DRY
paints.
Do
not
use
epoxy
paints
except
for
the
ones
listed
under
the
PAINT
paragraph
of
the
OPERATION
section.
Our
definition
of
“Fast
Dry”
paints
is
those
that
are
ready
for
traffic
in
30
minutes.
DO
NOT
over
thin
the
paint.
The
Mandrel
and
Roller
Cover
should
slide
up
and
down
freely
in
the
“J”
Yokes
with
side
clearance
of
not
more
than
1/32".
Proper
clearance
was
set
at
the
factory,
but
it
may
be
necessary
to
spread
the
side
plates
on
the
Carrier
Assembly
to
regain
this
clearance.
The
Mandrel
and
Roller
Cover
Roller
should
roll
freely
in
the
“J”
Yokes.
If
not,
lightly
oil
the
short
end
of
the
Mandrel
Tube
and
the
“O”
Ring.
Most
paints
can
be
used
without
thinning.
However,
some
will
"flow"
better
and
may
need
to
be
thinned
for
easier
use.
Cooler
temperatures
(50
‐
65
degrees)
will
also
require
paint
thinning.
Normally,
no
more
than
4
oz
(1/2
cup)
per
gallon
is
required.
Fast
Dry
paints
are
not
recommended
(Fast
Dry
paints
are
those
that
are
“no
pick
up”
in
30
minutes
or
less)
Also,
on
rough
surfaces
thinning
will
improve
the
appearance
of
the
line.
Paint
should
be
at
room
temperature
for
best
results.
If
Roller
Cover
becomes
oversaturated
with
paint,
release
the
Paint
Trigger
for
a
short
period
of
time
and
continue
rolling
forward
to
allow
excess
paint
to
transfer
from
Roller
Cover
to
surface
area.
Squeeze
the
trigger
again
when
roller
cover
requires
additional
paint.
This
practice,
called
feathering,
will
be
required
when
the
operator
is
striping
a
2"
or
3"
line.
Releasing
the
trigger
when
you
are
2
‐
3
feet
from
the
end
of
the
line
will
allow
you
to
finish
with
a
clean
and
crisp
end
without
puddling.
