RollMaster™ 1000 Manual / 3856.0917
OPERATIONAL NOTE!
DO NOT use lacquer-based paints.
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 Control Lever for a short period of time and
continue rolling forward to allow excess paint to transfer from the Roller Cover to the surface area. Squeeze the
lever again when the roller cover requires additional paint. This practice, called feathering, will be required
when the operator is striping a 2" or 3" line.
Releasing the lever 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.
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.
Releasing the Control Lever about two feet from the end of the line creates a crisp edge without puddling.
