ASSEMBLY
1. Unpack the RollMaster™ 5000 chassis assembly, roller carrier, handle assembly, pail, and parts
bags. The major components are held together with ¼” diameter bolts in ¾” length, and 5/16”
diameter bolts in 1-1/2” lengths with lock nuts and washers.
2. Place the wheels of the chassis on a flat surface. Lay the handle assembly behind the unit (pail
holder end) with the grips pointing downward, and the bottom of the handles toward the unit.
3. Mount the bottom end of the handle assembly on the rear of the chassis (handles fit on the
outside) with two 5/16" x 1-1/2" bolts with washers, from under the inside of the chassis, out.
Install lock nuts on the bolts on the outside of the handle assembly, but do not completely
tighten. Note: There are no washers on the outside of the handle assembly.
4. Swing the handles into the upright position. Rotate each handle brace up (on the outside of the
handle assembly) and align the hole with the hole in handle assembly. Insert 5/16” x 1-1/2” long
carriage bolts in each hole from the outside. Install and tighten lock nuts on each of the carriage
bolts, and then fully tighten the bottom handle assembly bolts. Route the trigger wiring harness
between the rear axle and chassis, toward the battery cover. Push the end of the harness up
through the grommet in the chassis and into the battery area.
5. Remove the four bolts and washers securing battery cover. Slide cover up and off of the
machine and set it aside.
6. Remove the two wing nuts that secure the battery hold down plate. Remove the plate. Place
a new battery on the chassis between the battery hold down bolts, with the battery terminals
positioned to the rear of the machine. Install the
battery hold down plate and secure it with the wing
nuts.
Install the positive side first when installing
connections.Pictures for wiring are shown in Pic 2.
7. Attach the red wire lead from the paint trigger
harness and the red wire lead from the battery
charger to the top of the positive terminal side of
the battery.
8. Attach the black wire lead (with red tape marker)
from the paint trigger harness to the bottom post of
the pump motor. (Marked with a red dot)

ASSEMBLY CONTINUED
9. Attach the two black wire leads (from the pump motor and the battery charger that are tied
together) to the top of the negative terminal side of the battery.
10. Activate the paint trigger. The motor should rotate the roller pump in a clockwise direction
as you face the machine. Please call the factory if the motor does not rotate the roller pump.
NOTE: A brand new battery will require charging overnight.
11. Carefully slide battery cover back onto the pump plate, making sure that the paint trigger
wires are not pinched, and secure it with the four bolts and washers that you previously
removed.
12. Remove the roller carrier from the packaging and then remove the rubber band securing
mandrel to the carrier. You may discard of the packaging and rubber band. Remove the
mandrel and mandrel tube from carrier and the set them aside.
13. Remove the nut and washer from the roller carrier support arm on the chassis. Apply grease
to the threaded stud of the support arm. Mount the roller carrier on the greased stud of the
support arm and secure it with the washer and nut previously removed. Tighten the nut enough
to remove any side play, but loose enough to allow the roller carrier to pivot up and down
freely with both wheels sitting flat on the ground, when in the down position.
14. Pull the lifting lever backward (Operating Position). Remove the cotter hairpin from the
lifting rod end. Lightly grease the rod end and then slide it into hole in the arm of the roller
carrier. Re-install the cotter hairpin in the rod end. The lifting lever will now lift the carrier up
off of the ground when the lever is pushed forward.
15. Install the black “L” shaped hose guide bar, in the hole in the front right corner of the
chassis, so it is parallel to the front of the machine. This keeps the hose from being damaged
from the right front wheel.

ROLLER AND MANDREL ASSEMBLY
1. Remove the mandrel nuts from each end of the mandrel.
2. Slide one 4” roller (or if purchased, a 2” and 3” roller) onto the mandrel.
3. Choose which discs you will use. They are labeled appropriately (CONCRETE or ASPHALT) for
the surface you will be marking. The discs may have a protective plastic film that will need to
be peeled off before installation.
Note: The discs ride on the surface to help regulate the amount of paint the roller applies.
Concrete discs allow less paint to be applied and should be used for concrete and all other
smooth surfaces. Asphalt discs allow more paint to be applied.
4. Install one disc on each end of the mandrel. Each
disc will be flush against one end of the roller and
seal the mandrel when the knurled nuts are
tightened.
5. If you are using a 4” roller, ignore this step. Note:
2” and 3” roller kits have included bushings and
different discs than 4” rollers that must be used.
Install the 2” or 3” roller on the mandrel, followed
by one disc, and then one plastic bushing on each
end of the mandrel. The bushings hold the disc
against the roller and seal the mandrel when the
knurled nuts are tightened.
6. Install the mandrel nuts on each end of the roller.
7. Lubricate the end of the mandrel tube with the
washer and O-Ring with a light coating of grease.
Insert that end of the mandrel tube, into the open
end of the mandrel.
8. Place the mandrel, with the roller and mandrel
tube into the J-Yokes of the roller carrier. NOTE:
The washer of the mandrel tube will be on the
inside of the left J-Yoke. The open end of the
mandrel tube will be toward the machine chassis.
The mandrel should slide up and down in the
J-Yokes freely.

INSTALLING THE PAINT HOSE
1. Place the provided pail lid onto the 5 gallon pail, and then place the pail on the back of the
chassis between the handle assembly and the pail retainer. Install the longer end of the dip
tube through the hole of the paint lid.
2. Open the pump trough shown in by placing your thumb on
the trough pin (circled in yellow) and your fingers against
the side of the battery shroud and then squeezing them
together. The trough will click and lock open. (Pic 5)
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 as outlined below.
The red bead is directly above the pump trough eyebolt.
The short end of the hose is above the red bead.
The long end of the hose is below the red bead.
4. Close the trough by pulling out on the black release knob on
the trough while slightly squeezing the trough as if opening it. Let the trough snap shut, and
then release the black release knob. Check to make sure that the paint hose is directly under
the black pump rollers and not pinched between sides of trough.
5. Push the short end of the hose onto the open end of the dip tube. (Pic 6)
6. Push the long end of the hose onto the open end of the mandrel tube. (Pic 7)

OPERATION
PAINT
Suggested paints are Latex (Water Base) or Alkyd (Oil Base). These are typically sold under
names like Traffic or Floor marking paints. Standard traffic paint may typically say, “Dry to the
touch in 10-20 minutes. Allow 2-3 hours for complete drying”.
Two part, water based epoxy paint with a pot life greater than 1 hour may be used. All other
epoxy paint should be avoided.
Most paints may be used without thinning. Some paints may "flow" better and be easier to use
if thinned. Cooler temperatures (50-65 degrees) may also require paint thinning. Normally, no
more than 4 ounces (1/2 cup) per gallon is required. On rough surfaces, thinning will also
improve the appearance of the line. Follow the paint manufacturer’s instructions for best
results.
PREPARATION
The area to be striped should be swept clean of all debris and if cleaned of any fluids such as oil,
with the use of a strong detergent.
GETTING STARTED
Set a 5 gallon pail of paint on the chassis. Remove and replace the lid of the paint pail, and then
install the lid that came on the pail with the machine. Insert the long “L” shaped aluminum dip
tube in the hole of the lid. Note: You may have to rotate the lid so that the paint hose reaches
the short end of the paint hose. Attach the short end of the paint hose to the open end of the
dip tube. You are now ready to begin painting.
OPERATION
Push forward on the carrier lifting lever so that the roller is off the ground. Activate the paint
trigger. You should see dots of paint begin to appear on the roller shortly after activating the
trigger. Lower the roller on some scrap cardboard or on an existing paint line. Roll the machine
forward while continuing to operate the paint trigger until the roller is saturated.
The pumping mechanism is designed to sufficiently deliver paint for a 4" line at a slow walking
speed. If the roller cover becomes oversaturated with paint, release the trigger button for a
short period of time. Continue rolling forward to allow the excess paint to transfer from the
roller cover onto the surface area. Push the trigger button again when the roller cover requires
additional paint. This practice called feathering, will be required when the operator is striping a
2" or a 3" line.

OPERATIONAL NOTES
DO NOT use lacquer based or FAST DRY paints. Use of lacquer based paints will damage the roller cover. 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
roller carrier 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) may also require paint thinning. Normally, no more than 4 ounces (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). On rough surfaces, thinning will also improve the appearance of the line.
Follow the paint manufacturer’s instructions for best results.
If the 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 the roller cover to the 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.
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.
