Preparing the PaintStick to Paint
Tips for Painting with the PaintStick
• Inspect roller cover for lint before painting. If needed wash before using.
• When using the PaintStick for the first paint application, it will take most of the paint in
the PaintStick tube to saturate the roller cover.
• Keep roller moving while pushing inner handle in to prevent dripping.
• Stop pushing inner handle in if the roller starts to skid or slide.
• When painting in tight areas partially fill PaintStick. This reduces overall length of
PaintStick.
• When leaving PaintStick unattended for a longer period of time wrap roller cover in a
plastic bag.
4. Insert roller assembly into
handle assembly and tighten
nut.
•NOTE: When inserting frame,
into handle, the washer on the
frame will not be flush with the
handle.
7. Snap paint can cover onto paint
can.
•NOTE: The can cover will not fit
on some paint containers. To
fill the PaintStick, omit the can
cover and place fill tube directly
into container. Hold the fill tube
with hand to stabilize as needed.
5. Attach spatter shield by sliding
it over outer end cap and
clipping forked end onto roller
frame. Adjust to any position.
6. Insert fill tube through hole
in bottom side of paint can
cover and push in until tight
and to the ridge of the fill tube.
1. Inspect roller cover for lint. For
best results, rinse roller cover
with water and let dry before
using.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE INNER
OR OUTER END CAPS WITH A
SCREWDRIVER! DAMAGE TO END
CAPS CAN OCCUR.
3. Lock end cap onto the roller
frame by depressing the locking
tab.
•NOTE: Pull gently on the roller
cover to ensure the roller cover
is secured to the roller frame.
2. Ensure the outer end cap is in the open positon by depressing PUSH
TO REMOVE side of the tab. Assemble the roller cover to the roller
frame by inserting the frame inside the inner end cap.
Push roller cover onto the roller frame until the roller cover stops.
8. If you have a square paint can,
rest the can cover on top of the
paint can.
•NOTE: Can cover will rest
loosely on top of can.

angle and place the fill port
over the fill tube. Gently push
the PaintStick down until it
bottoms on the fill tube. DO NOT
KEEP PAINTSTICK ON FILL TUBE
FOR LONGER THAN 1 MINUTE
AT A TIME.
• NOTE: Make sure the fill tube
is opposite from where you are
standing when filling to properly
seat the valve.
• NOTE: You may notice
petroleum jelly within the
PaintStick handle. This is
necessary and will help in its
operation and will not affect the
paint.

way back to draw paint into

Painting with the PaintStick
Troubleshooting
Problem: Air is drawn into the PaintStick instead of paint.
Solution: Slowly push handle in to expel air. Remove and reinsert PaintStick 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.
Problem: Difficult to insert or remove fill tube from port.
Solution: Put petroleum jelly in fill port opening and/or fill tube.
Problem: Handle is difficult to move in and out.
Solution: Lubricate inner tube o-rings (see CLEANING section).
Problem: Paint leaks out end cap.
Solution: Make sure end caps are flush with end on roller cover. If they are ok, remove end caps and reseal with petroleum
jelly (see CLEANING section).
Problem: Paint leaks out of fill port.
Solution: Lubricate valve port with petroleum jelly. If this doesn’t work, replace valve kit (see parts drawing).
