STRIPING TIPS
10
TIP
1
When striping, always have the machine in motion before opening the
spray valve, thus eliminating a heavy “blob” of paint at the beginning.
TIP
2
If striping on an asphalt or concrete surface you may have a build-up
of paint on the edges of your line. This can be corrected by adjusting
the tip so the fan spray is angled at 45 degrees to each side plate.
Adjust so spray barely touches plates and your build-up will be
eliminated or reduced.
TIP
3
When releasing pressure on the paint tank, hold a rag over the brass
bleed-off valve, as paint may have splashed up to the bleed-off valve
and will be blown out.
TIP
4
Simplest method for running test lines is to apply lines on paper or an
off-area. For a sharp cut-off at end of a line, place paper or cardboard
at end so the line is square.
TIP
5
Periodically clean or replace the screen and tip located inside the spray
box assembly.
TIP
6
Run your engine at the slowest speed possible. This will greatly
decrease wear and tear on your entire machine.
