HELPFUL
TIPS
The
Roller
Cover
must
be
saturated
with
paint
before
a
solid
painted
line
will
appear
on
the
painting
surface.
It
is
recommended
that
you
saturate
the
Roller
Cover
as
per
the
operation
instructions.
We
recommend
that
you
use
water
‐
base
traffic
paints
as
they
are
easier
to
clean
up
and
do
not
"lift"
new
asphalt
surfaces.
Paint
should
be
at
least
room
temperature
for
proper
operation.
In
colder
climates,
the
flow
of
paint
can
be
restricted
because
the
paint
becomes
too
thick.
Make
sure
the
paint
is
thin
enough
for
the
pump
to
pull
the
paint
from
the
can
and
through
the
passageways
of
the
Mandrel.
If
the
paint
is
not
thin
enough,
you
will
not
get
a
solid
line
and
the
edges
of
your
line
not
appear
crisp.
When
stopping
for
prolonged
periods
without
use,
cover
the
Mandrel
and
Roller
Cover
in
plastic
wrap
to
prevent
it
from
drying
out.
The
machine
works
better
if
the
operator
moves
at
a
slow
constant
pace
for
nice
even
edges.
Helpful
Hint:
Release
the
paint
trigger
2’
‐
3’
from
the
end
of
the
line
and
let
the
paint
in
the
roller
‘run
out’.
This
will
give
a
clean
end
to
the
line
and
prevent
dripping
when
the
roller
is
raised.
TROUBLESHOOTING
GUIDE
Problem
REMEDY
Paint
not
getting
to
roller
or
too
little
paint
getting
to
roller.
1.
Make
sure
trough
is
closed.
2.
Check
paint
hose
for
kink.
If
hose
is
kinked
open
Trough
and
rotate
hose.
3.
Make
sure
the
battery
has
enough
charge
to
operate
the
pump
properly.
4.
Check
that
all
Pump
Rollers
are
rotating.
If
not
clean
rollers
of
debris
or
paint
and
lubricate.
5.
Check
to
see
if
your
paint
is
“Set
Fast”
or
“Fast
Dry”.
These
paints
are
not
recommended
and
require
thinning,
which
may
cause
the
paint
to
dry
slower,
or
can
diminish
overall
line
quality.
Painted
line
is
solid
on
one
side,
but
“light”
or
skipping
on
the
other
side.
1.
Check
that
the
Roller
Cover
slides
up
and
down
freely
in
the
“J”
Yokes
and
that
the
Mandrel
is
not
binding.
Adjust
the
“J”
Yokes
if
needed
or
clean
debris
and
paint
off
“J”
Yokes.
2.
If
the
Mandrel
and
Roller
Cover
is
“riding
up”
on
the
Mandrel
Carrier
sides,
grease
the
Mandrel
Tube
end
and
“O”
ring
with
light
oil.
Painted
line
has
heavy
ridges
on
edges
or
excessive
paint.
1.
Make
sure
you are
using
the
proper
Regulating
Discs.
2.
Periodically
release
Paint
Trigger
every
couple
of
feet
during
striping
to
avoid
the
Roller
Cover
from
becoming
oversaturated.
Paint
line
skips
across
width
of
roller.
1.
Make
sure
the
Mandrel
and
Roller
Cover
are
rolling
freely.
If
not,
grease
“O”
ring
end
of
Mandrel
Tube
and
“O”
ring.
