INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a SMITHCO #44-901 Super Liner.
Carefully read this manual and the engine manual as they include safety, operating, assembly
and maintenance instructions. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment
damage.
Keep manuals in a safe place after operator and maintenance personnel have read them. Right
and left sides are from the operator’s seat, facing forward.
All SMITHCO machines have a Serial Number and Model Number. Both numbers are needed
when ordering parts. The serial number plate on the #44-901 Super Liner is located under the
tank, on the left side wall of the tank mount.
For easy access, record your Serial and Model numbers here.
Information needed when ordering replacement parts:
1. Model Number of machine.
2. Serial Number of machine.
3. Name and Part Number of part.
4. Quantity of parts.
5. Ship Via

SAFE PRACTICES
1. It is your responsibility to read this manual and all publications associated with this
machine (engine and accessories).
2. Never allow anyone to operate or service the machine or its accessories without proper
training and instructions. Never allow minors to operate any equipment.
3. Learn the proper use of the machine, the locations and purpose of all the controls before
you operate the equipment. Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead to accidents.
4. Wear all the necessary protective clothing and personal safety devises to protect your head,
eyes, ears, hands and feet. Operate the machine only in daylight or in good artificial light.
5. Inspect the area where the equipment will be used. Pick up all debris you can find before
operating. Beware of overhead obstructions and underground obstacles. Stay alert for
hidden hazards.
6. Never operate equipment that is not in perfect working order or without decals, guards,
shields, or other protective devices in place.
7. Never disconnect or bypass any switch.
8. Carbon monoxide in the exhaust fumes can be fatal when inhaled, never operate a machine
without proper ventilation.
9. Fuel is highly flammable, handle with care.
10. Keep engine clean. Allow the engine to cool before storing and always remove the ignition
key.
11. After engine has started machine must not move. If movement is evident, the neutral
mechanism is not adjusted correctly. Shut engine off and readjust so the machine does not
move when in neutral position.
12. Never use your hands to search for oil leaks. Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate
the skin and cause serious injury.
13. This machine demands your attention. To prevent loss of control or tipping of the vehicle:
Use extra caution in backing up the vehicle. Make sure area is clear. Do not stop or
start suddenly on any slope. Avoid driving sideways on hills as much as possible.
Reduce speed on slopes and in sharp turns. Use caution when changing directions on
slopes.
Stay alert for holes in the terrain and other hidden hazards.
14. Before leaving operator’s position for any reason:
Disengage all drives.
Shut engine off and remove the ignition key.
15. Keep hands, feet and clothing away from moving parts. Wait for all movement to stop before
you clean, adjust or service the machine.
16. Keep the area of operation clear of all bystanders.
17. Never carry passengers.
18. Stop engine before making repairs/adjustments or to check or add oil to the crankcase.
19. Use parts and materials supplied by SMITHCO only. Do not modify any function or
part.
These machines are intended for professional maintenance on flat grass athletic fields. Other
use will void the warranty.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Use only top quality paint. Inferior paint voids SMITHCO warranty.
1. Completely follow mixing instructions on paint container.
2. Never use mixed paint without straining.
3. The depth of the color of the line will be determined by percentage of water added to the
paint. In most cases, the mix should be at least 2 parts water to 1 part paint. NEVER use
more than 50% paint.
4. Use spraying nozzle TeeJet 8002VS tip only. These tips have been tested and work best
with the SMITHCO pumping system.
5. Fill tank with the desired amount of water.
6. Start unit and turn the paint pump on, increase engine rmp, thus starting agitation.
7. Pour the strained paint into the tank slowly to properly mix.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: IF MACHINE IS TO BE LEFT MORE THAN ONE HOUR, SYSTEM SHOULD BE
FLUSHED. DO NOT LEAVE PAINT IN SYSTEM OVER NIGHT.
1. After each day’s use, follow instructions below.
A. Open the gate valve, located at the rear of the tank. Drain remaining paint into a
resealable container using the hose provided. Drain and replace the strainer.
B. Flush the paint tank with fresh water for 5 minutes with the drain valve open until all
the paint residue is out of the tank.
C. Close the ball valve at the bottom of the tank. Connect the hose from the gate valve
to a clean water source.
D. Turn the selector valve to “Flush”.
E. Start the engine, turn on the paint pump.
F. Turn on the water.
G. Turn on the spray switch. Flush tips until the water flows clear.
H. Turn off the water, disconnect the hose. Open the ball valve and drain the tank
again. Drain the strainer again also.
I. Remove spray tips from both booms. Clean thoroughly using a soft bristle brush and
soapy water.
2. Lubricate the following:
A. Steering shaft bearings.
B. Hub bearings.
C. Both boom arms.
D. Front axles.
3. See engine manual for maintenance instructions on the engine.
4. When storing the unit after the painting season, the battery should be disconnected.
5. For winter storage, the unit and nozzle tips must be thoroughly cleaned and flushed.
6. System requires 10W40 Oil.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Set the shift control lever to neutral.
2. Turn the key to start engine, choke as needed. Allow engine to warm for 3 minutes.
3. Select the front or side boom with the selector valve on the left control box.
4. Engage the pump switch to the “ON” position to begin agitation.
5. Lower desired boom. Preset the line guide to existing line or string line.
6. Do not paint until the unit is moving in the desired route of travel.
7. When ready to paint, locate the hand shifter on right of the control box, set to desired
speed on the line to be painted. Depress the spray switch located on the right side of the
floorboard. Note: Line width can be adjusted by moving the flaps on the booms.
TROUBLESHOOTING
There are a number of variables affecting the line density if it is not satisfactory.
A. Paint may be inferior: Paint mixture may be too thick or too thin.
B. Hoses or tips may be clogged: Tips must be clean. System may need to be flushed, or
paint may need to be restrained.
C. Nozzle tips may be worn out: Replace with TeeJet 8002EVS stainless steel.
D. Reducing speed increases paint applied. Increasing speed decreases paint applied.
E. Proper lining color should be ascertained in the field, because of variations in marking
paint and the percentage of water added. Never use more than 50% paint. 1 part paint to
2 parts water.
F. Unit will not start if the operator is not in the seat.
G. If unit is not building pressure, then check to make sure that the pump switch is on.
H. If switch is on and the pump is still not building pressure then speed up the engine RPM.
