againstoneendoftheroller.

5. Ifyouareusinga4”roller,ignorethisstep.Ifyouareusinga2”or3”
roller,installoneoftheplasticbushingsthatcamewithyour2”/3”

INSTALLINGTHEPAINTHOSE

1. Placethepaillidontothe5gallonpail,andthenplacethepailintothepailcarrierlocatedon
thechassis.Installthelongerendofthediptubethroughtheholeofthepaintlid.

2. OpenthepumptroughshowninPic5byplacingyourthumbonthe
knurledpin(circledinyellow)andfingersonsideofbatteryshroud
andsqueezetogether(Troughwill‘click’andlockopen).

3. Thepainthosehasashortendandalongend,whicharemeasured
fromtheredbead.Usingthisinformation,installthepainthoseinthe
followingformat:
Redbeadisdirectlyabovethepumptrough’seyelet
Shortendofhoseistowardstopofredbead
Longendofhoseistowardsbottomofredbead

4. ClosethetroughbypullingOUTonblackreleaseknobonthetrough.Ifdonecorrectly,the
troughwillsnapshut,andtheblackknobwillbeflushagainstthesideofthetrough.Check
tomakesurethatthepainthoseisdirectlyundertheblackpumprollersandnotpinched
betweensidesoftrough.Ifyouarehavingtroublepullingtheblackknob,youmayneed
slightlysqueezeonknurledpinlikeinStep2andthenpulltheknobsimultaneously.

5. Installtheshortendofthehoseontotheshorterendofthediptube(Pic6).

OPERATION

PAINT
SuggestedpaintsareLatex(waterbase)orAlkyd(Oilbase).Thesearetypicallysoldunder
nameslikeTrafficorFloormarkingpaints.A‘standard’trafficpaintwillsay,“drytothetouchin
10‐20minutesandallow2‐3hoursforcompletedrying”).
Twopart,waterbasedepoxypaintwithapotlifegreaterthan1hourcanbeused.Allother
epoxypaintshouldbeavoided.
Mostpaintscanbeusedwithoutthinning.However,somewill"flow"betterandbeeasierto
useifthinned.Normally,nomorethan1/4pint(1/2cup)pergallonisrequired.Alittle
experimentingwillgiveyoutheperfectconsistency.Thinningmayalsoimprovethe
appearanceofthelineonroughsurfaces.

PREPARATION
Theareatobestripedshouldbesweptcleanofalldirtandcleanedofforeignmatter(oil,etc.)
withtheuseofstrongdetergent.Seta5gallonpailofpaintonthechassis.

GETTINGSTARTED
Removethecoveroftheexistingpaintpailandinstalltheuniversallidthatcameonthepail
withthemachine.Insertthepainttube(Long,‘L’shapedaluminumtube)intheholeinthepail
lid.Youmayhavetorotatethelidsothatthepainthosereachestheshortendofthepaint
tube.AttachtheopenendofthepainthosetothePainttube.Youarereadytobeginpainting.

OPERATION
Thefirststepistothoroughlysaturatetheroller.Pushforwardonthecarrierliftingleverso
thattherollerisofftheground.Activatethepainttrigger.Paint‘dots’shouldbegintoappear
ontherollerafteraminute.Lowertherolleronsomescrapcardboardornewspaperandroll
themachineforwardbycontinuingtooperatethepainttriggeruntiltherollerissaturated.
(Youcanalsodothisonexistingpaintedlines,justbecarefultostayontheline.)NOTE:Paint
andthesurfacetobepaintedshouldbeatroomtemperatureforbestresults.Colder
temperatures(Lessthan70degrees)tendtothickenthepaint.

Thepumpingmechanismisdesignedtosufficientlydeliverpaintfora4"lineataslowwalking
speed.Thepaintflowcanbecontrolledbytheoperatorbyoperatingthepainttrigger.When
signsofexcesspaintleavingtherollerbegintoappear,theoperatorreleasesthepainttrigger
forashortperiodoftime(calledfeathering).Thispracticewillberequiredwhenyouwishto
stripea2"or3"widelines.

CLEANUP
Whenyouarefinishedstriping,removetherollerapplicator,tubeassembly,andhosefromthe
RollMaster™5000.ThisisdonebyopeningtheTroughasdescribedearlier.Removetheendof
thehoseattachedtothepaintpailtube.Makingsuretheendofthehoseiskeptuprightsonot
todripanypaint.Removethehosefromsideofeyeboltandlifthose,mandreltubeand
mandreltogetheroffmachine.Thispreventsanypaintcomingincontactwiththepumping
mechanism,whichassurestheowneroftheRollMaster™5000aclean,longlastingpieceof
equipment.HelpfulHint:Usea2lb.coffee‘can’orsimilarcontainertoplacethehose&
mandrelassemblyinfortransportingtoasinkforcleanup.

Themandrel,tubeassemblies,andtherollerthencanbewashedoutinasolvent,paintthinner
orwaterforfutureuse.Ifyoudesire,themandrelcanbewashed,andthehoseandrollermay
betossedawayandafresh,inexpensive,replacementkitcanbepurchasedfromyourdealeror
Newstripe.
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. 

