Assembly
1. Remove the chassis and handle assembly from the box (Pic 2).
2. Rotate the folding handle upright so that the holes are aligned with the corresponding holes in the chassis. Be
careful not to damage the control cable (Pic3).
3. Fasten the Handle to the chassis with the provided Wing Nuts to the outside of the Handle (Pic3).
4. Rotate the top section of the Handle upward to the unfolded position and then tighten the Wing Knobs.
5. Pull up on the Cable Adjuster with Cable and slip into slot in the chassis. (Pic 4)
Note: The Cable Adjuster should be positioned all the way into the slot with the hex nut above the plate and round
adjusting nut below the plate.
6. Adjust the nuts on the Cable Adjuster for proper operation. When adjusted correctly, the Pump Rollers will spin
when the Control Lever is squeezed and stop spinning when the Control Lever is released.
7. The Guide bar / Kickstand raises the Mandrel off the surface when it is in the vertical position. When lowered for
striping it can also serve as a line guide (Pic 2).
8. Remove the protective film from the Regulating Discs before installing (Pic 5).
9. Place one Regulating Disc on one end of the Mandrel core (threaded area) and screw on one Knurled Nut (finger
tight). Slide the Roller Cover onto the Mandrel and install the second Regulating Disc and Knurled Nut. Tighten the
nuts fully by hand.
NOTE: PVC spacers will be included with your kit if you ordered 2" or 3" wide rollers. Follow the above assembly
instructions, except you must add these spacers between the plastic disc and the knurled nut.

Assembly for Striping
1. Apply a light coat of grease to the “O” ring and the short end of the Mandrel Tube. Insert the Mandrel Tube into the
open side of the Mandrel with the "O" ring side toward the Mandrel (Pic 6).
2. Place the Mandrel with Roller Cover in the "J" hooks of the Carrier Assembly with the Mandrel Tube to the left side.
The washer attached to the Mandrel Tube will be on the inside of the "J" Yokes. The Mandrel should be able to slide
up and down in the "J" Yokes freely. If necessary, bend the side plates out just enough to allow the Mandrel to
move up and down freely (Pic 7).
3. Open the Trough by grasping the Thumb Grip and the Rear Wheel hub and squeezing together (it will click and lock
open) (Pic 8).
4. Slide one end of Paint Hose over the Mandrel Tube and insert the hose under the Pump Rollers and inside the Trough.
Squeeze the hose flat and insert it through the side of the Eye Bolt with the colored band ABOVE the Eye Bolt at the
top of the Trough. Close the Trough by pulling OUT on the release button located on the Trough (Pic 9).
5. Make sure the Paint Hose is under the Pump Rollers and is not pinched by the sides of the Trough.
OPERATION
1. Punch a hole in the can lid with the provided Punch about 1 inch from the left edge. A second SMALL "vent
hole" should be punched near the other hole.
2. Insert the Paint Can Tube (1) into the punched hole.
3. Attach the open end of the Paint Hose to the Paint Can Tube.
4. When you squeeze the Control Lever, the Pump Drive Wheel is brought in contact with the Rear Wheel, and
paint is pumped directly to the Roller Cover. Release the lever and pumping stops.
NOTE: Only squeeze the Control Lever in forward motion. Release the lever when rolling backwards.
5. Make sure the Trough is in the closed position.
6. To prime the Roller Cover for painting, squeeze and hold the Control Lever. Tip the unit back slightly so the front
wheels are off the ground and roll the unit forward approximately 50-75 feet. You should see ‘dots’ of paint
forming on the Roller Cover. This indicates that the Roller Cover is priming properly with paint.
7. Now place the unit on an existing line or cardboard and roll the unit forward and backwards with the front
wheels contacting the surface until the roller is completely saturated.

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.

CLEANING PROCEDURE
1. When you are finished striping, open the Trough and roll forward on a dry painted line or cardboard to transfer
excess paint from the Roller Cover.
2. Remove the end of the Paint Hose attached to the Paint Can Tube. Keep the hose upright to avoid dripping
paint.
3. Squeeze the Paint hose through the side of the Eye Bolt and remove Paint Hose, Mandrel tube, and Mandrel
with Roller Cover from the machine.
NOTE: This prevents any paint coming into contact with the pumping mechanism.
4. Set the Mandrel Tube and Paint Can Tube aside for cleaning.
5. Remove one Knurled Nut and Regulating Disc from Mandrel and slide Roller Cover off. Remove second Knurled
Nut and Regulating Disc from Mandrel. Discard Roller Cover, Regulating Discs, and Paint Hose.
6. Clean Mandrel, Knurled Nuts, Mandrel Tube, and Paint Can Tube with *water or solvent for further use.
*DO NOT THROW AWAY THE MANDREL, KNURLED NUTS, PAINT CAN TUBE, OR MANDREL TUBE AS THESE ARE
PERMANENT PARTS OF THE MACHINE.
NOTE: Always use the solvent recommended by the paint manufacturer. DO NOT use petroleum base cleaners
or thinners with water based paint. The cleaner will react with the paint, making it difficult to clean.
7. Apply a light coat of oil to all moving parts. (3 in 1 or light spray oil)
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
PROBLEM
REMEDY
Paint not getting to roller or too little
paint getting to roller.
1. Make sure trough is closed.
2. Check paint hose for kink. If hose is kinked open Trough and rotate
hose.
3. Check Pump Drive Wheel is contacting Rear Wheel. If not adjust the
cable at the frame.
4. Check that all Pump Rollers are rotating. If not clean rollers of debris or
paint and lubricate.
5. Check to see if your paint is “Set Fast” or “Fast Dry”. These paints are
not recommended and require thinning, which may cause the paint
to dry slower, or can diminish overall line quality.
Painted line is solid on one side, but
“light” or skipping on the other side.
1. Check that the Roller Cover slides up and down freely in the “J” Yoke
and that the Mandrel is not binding. Adjust the “J” Yokes if needed or
clean debris and paint off “J” Yokes.
2. If the Mandrel and Roller Cover is “riding up” on the Mandrel Carrier
sides, grease the Mandrel Tube end and “O” ring with light oil.
Painted line has heavy ridges on edges
or excessive paint.
1. Make sure you are using the proper Regulating Discs.
2. Periodically release Control Lever every couple of feet during striping
to avoid the Roller Cover from becoming oversaturated.
Paint line skips across width of roller.
1. Make sure the Mandrel and Roller Cover are rolling freely. If not,
grease “O” ring end of Mandrel Tube and “O” ring.
Your machine is designed to be simple and safe to operate.
