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.
