TROUBLE SHOOTING
WHAT’S WRONG?
WHAT TO DO…
Takes a long time for paint to appear on surface.
See first note on “Painting with the RAPIDROLLERTM”. May take
a second fill.
Air is drawn into handle instead of paint.
Slowly push handle in to expel air. Remove and reinsert product
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.
Make sure O-ring is in place between handle assembly and roller
frame and well lubricated.
Difficult to insert or remove fill tube from valve.
Put petroleum jelly in fill port opening and or fill tube.
Handle is difficult to move in and out.
Lubricate rubber seals at end of plunger, or twist plunger slightly
to break seal.
Paint leaks out end cap.
Make sure both end caps are pushed snugly into and are even
with the end of roller cover. If they are OK, remove end caps,
clean out any old paint and relubricate with petroleum jelly.
Paint leaks out of fill valve.
Lubricate valve with petroleum jelly. Make sure wiper seal is in
place.
