CHARGING 3
Charger Operation:
Intitialization: Red Light On, Green Light Off: Monitor Circuit veries
appropriate battery voltage levels and good electrical continuity.
Bulk Charge: Red Light On, Green Light Off: Constant Current at Full
Power. Switch to Absorption at 75%-80% full recharge.
Absorption Charge: Red Light On, Green Light Flashing: Constant
Voltage at Absorption Level. This conditions the battery for maximum
performance. Transition to Float Maintenance either by charge current
threshold or xed absorption timer.
Float Charge: Red Light Off, Green Light On: Constant Voltage at
Float/Maintenance Level. Keeps battery fully charged and maintains
optimum specic gravity. Charge reset monitor protects battery against
deep discharge from excessive appliance current draw.
Indicator Light Operation:
Red: When the red light is On, the charger is functioning normally
and it is in the process of fully charging the battery. The charger will
automatically apply the optimum charging voltage and current values to
the battery in the proper timing sequence.
Green: When the green light is On and the red light is Off, the battery
charger is in the storage/oat/maintenance mode of operation. In this
mode the charger will maintain the battery at optimum voltage levels to
maintain full charge.
Flashing Green: When the green light is ashing and the red light is On,
the battery is approximately 80% charged. Do not use the battery until
the green light stops ashing, indicating that the battery is fully charged.
Red and Green Alternating: This is an abnormal indication. Check
all connections between the charger and the battery. If this condition
persists, contact technical support for assistance.
NOTE: FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHARGER AND
TROUBLESHOOTING, PLEASE REFER TO THE BATTERY TENDER
MANUAL PROVIDED WITH YOUR MACHINE.

OPERATION | STRIPING TIPS
Machine Operation:
1. The Brite Striper 1100 needs to be charged completely before you
can use it. The striper is shipped with an automatic charger.
2. Once charged, test-run the machine with water to see how it
operates. You may wish to practice with paint in an off-area before
starting your job.
3. Strain and make sure your paint is diluted to a minimum of 1 part
paint to 1 part water for Pioneer natural grass paints. We strongly
recommend the use of Pioneer Brite Stripe Pre-Mix paint. Insert
your paint bucket, with lid fully attached, into the bucket holder.
4. Insert both the discharge and suction tubes through the lid’s pour
spout. Do not stripe without the lid in place, as this will cause a
safety hazard.
5. Start your striper by turning the switch to the On position. Slowly open
the ball valve on the suction tube to achieve your desired pressure.
6. Adjust the ball valve to the desired pressure and walk at your
normal striping speed. If pump is rapidly cycling, open ball valve
until cycling stops. Cycling for more than 15 seconds can damage
pump motor. It is best to operate the pump only when striping
since the pump is self priming. This will greatly reduce wear.
7. When done or when changing paint, place pick-up tube in clean
bucket of water with P.H.D. Cleaner. Turn on pump until water
comes out clean.
Striping Tips:
1. When striping, always have the machine in motion before opening
the spray valve, thus eliminating a heavy “blob” of paint at the
beginning.
2. Simplest method for running test lines is to apply lines on paper or
in an off-area. For a sharp cut-off at the end of a line, place paper
or cardboard at the end, so the line is square.
3. Periodically clean or replace the nozzle screen and nozzle tip
located inside the spray box assembly. Inspect and clean the
strainer on the suction tube with each use.
4. Do not run your pump dry. This will greatly add wear and tear on your
pump and shorten its life.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE 5
Clean-Up Process:
1. All parts of your Pioneer Brite Striper, except those enclosed in the
component box, should be cleaned immediately after each use. We
recommend Pioneer P.H.D. Cleaner. A clean, lint-free rag should be
used to wipe dry the machine.
2. We recommend putting the pick-up tube into a bucket with a
dilution of 2 gallons water to one cup P.H.D. Run the striper until
you no longer see any paint and water is clearly coming through
the tip.
3. A nal step should then be to remove the nozzle cap and clean the
nozzle tip and screens. This can easily be done by placing all three
parts in a small amount of P.H.D. and allow them to soak for a few
minutes. An old tooth brush can be used for stubborn spots. Rinse
the nozzle assembly parts with clean water and allow to air dry.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE WIRE OR ANY OTHER OBJECT TO CLEAN
NOZZLE TIP AS THIS MAY CAUSE TIP ORIFICE TO BECOME ENLARGED
WHICH WILL RESULT IN POOR PERFORMANCE WHEN STRIPING.
How To Store:
Cleaning your machine thoroughly cannot be overemphasized. A little
extra effort at the end of each job will save you time and money when
it is time to stripe again. As stated previously, run a gallon or so of
water and P.H.D. solution through the machine. Be sure to clean out the
screen inside the nozzle assembly and lter on the suction tube.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE COMPONENT BOX TO WATER. DO NOT HOSE DOWN
THIS MACHINE, AS IT IS ELECTRICAL AND MAY CAUSE PERMANENT
DAMAGE. BE SURE TO CLEAN OUT THE PUMP SYSTEM. FAILURE TO DO
THIS MAY RESULT IN FAILURE AND MALFUNCTION OF THE UNIT.
Normal Wear:
Warranty will not cover repair where normal use has exhausted the life
of the part. Line stripers, like all mechanical devices, need periodic parts
replacement and service to perform well. It should be remembered that the
service life of any equipment is dependent on the care it receives and the
conditions under which it has to operate.
1. Flush machine out thoroughly.
2. Remove hoses and drain.
3. Lubricate spray valve (shut-off valve).
4. Keep battery charger connected.
When Storing for an Extended Period:

PUMP | PRESSURE SWITCH 8
Pump Precautions:
CAUTION “Intermittent Duty” is dened as; operated and/or frequently start-
ed within a period of time that would cause the motor to reach its maximum
thermal limits. Once the maximum thermal limit is obtained, the motor must
be allowed to return to ambient temperature before resuming operation.
DO NOT use to pump ammable liquids. Never operate the pump in
an explosive environment. Arcing from the motor brushes, switch or
excessive heat from an improperly cycled motor may cause an explosion.
DO NOT assume uid compatibility. If the uid is improperly matched
to the pumps’ elastomers, a leak may occur. Pumps used to transfer
hazardous or hot (max. temeperature 170˚F {76˚C} viton only) chemicals
must be in a vented area to guard against the possibility of injury due to
harmful or explosive liquid/vapors.
DO NOT operate the pump at pressures which cause the motor to
exceed the amperes rating indicated on the name plate. Various pump
models are equipped with thermal breakers to interrupt operation due
to excessive heat. Once the temperature of the motor is within proper
limits it will automatically reset and the pump will start operation without
warning.
CAUTION To prevent electrical shock, disconnect power before
initiating any work. In the case of pump failure, the motor housing
and/or pumped uid may carry high voltage to components normally
considered safe.
Pressure Switch Operation:
The pressure switch reacts to outlet pressure, and interrupts power at
the preset shut-off pressure indicated on the pump label. When outlet
pressure drops below a predetermined limit (typically 15-20 PSI.{1-1.4
bar} less than the shut-off pressure) the switch will close and the pump
will operate until the shut-off (high) pressure is achieved. The shut-off
pressure is set to factory calibrated standards. See the motor label for
specic pump specications.
CAUTION Improper adjustment of the pressure switch may cause se-
vere overload or premature failure. Failures due to improper adjustment
of the pressure switch will not be covered under the limited warranty.
If the ow rate is very low, the pump may re-pressurize the outlet faster
than the uid is being released, causing rapid cycling (On/Off within
2 seconds). If the pump is subjected to rapid cycling during normal
operation, or for infrequent periods, damage may occur.
