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. 
