RollMaster™ 5000 ALWAYS wear safety goggles or protective eye‐wear when operating the unit! 10. Activate 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 is not working at this point. NOTE: A brand new battery may require charging overnight. 11. Carefully slide battery cover back onto pump support (making sure paint trigger wires do not get snagged) and secure with the four bolts and washers you previously removed. 12. Remove the roller carrier from the poly bag. Remove the rubber band securing mandrel and remove the mandrel and mandrel tube from carrier. Discard the rubber band and the set mandrel aside. 13. Attach the roller carrier to the support bar by removing the bolt and washer. Lightly grease the bolt and mount the roller carrier with one washer on outside of the carrier and bolt. (Bolt should be tight enough to remove any play, but loose enough to allow the roller carrier to pivot up and down freely with both wheels sitting flat on the pavement when in the down position.) 14. Pull lifting lever backward (Operating position). Attach the lifting rod to the roller carrier by removing cotter hairpin, lightly grease the rod end and slide the rod end into hole. Re‐install the cotter hairpin. (Move the lifting lever forward or back to align rod & hole) Lifting lever will now lift the carrier up off of the ground when the lever is pushed forward. 15. Install the hose guide (‘L’ shaped bar) in the hole in the front right corner of the frame so it is parallel to the front of the machine. 1700 Jasper St., Unit F, Aurora, CO 80011 T 800.624.6706 F 303.364.7796 • Newstripe.com RollMaster™ 5000 Manual / 3068.1116 Page 4 ...

Pic 3 4. Install one disc on each end of the mandrel. Each disc will be flush 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” rollers on each end of the mandrel. Each bushing should be flush against a disc. 6. Install the mandrel nuts on each end of the roller. 7. Insert the Mandrel Tube (‘L’ shaped 3/8" metal tubing which has a disc and a small rubber O‐ ring on it) into the mandrel (only one side of the mandrel is open) with the O‐ring side inward. Pic 4 8. Place the Mandrel & Roller assembly in the "J" Yokes. The Mandrel Tube disc will be on the inside of the "J" Yoke. The Mandrel tube will point to the inside of the roller carrier (towards the machine chassis). The Mandrel should slide up and down in the "J" Yokes freely. 1700 Jasper St., Unit F, Aurora, CO 80011 T 800.624.6706 F 303.364.7796 • Newstripe.com RollMaster™ 5000 Manual / 3068.1116 Page 5 ...

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). 6. Install the long end of the hose onto the available end of the mandrel tube (Pic 7).

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. 1700 Jasper St., Unit F, Aurora, CO 80011 T 800.624.6706 F 303.364.7796 • Newstripe.com RollMaster™ 5000 Manual / 3068.1116 Page 7 ...
RollMaster™ 5000 ALWAYS wear safety goggles or protective eye‐wear when operating the unit! 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 ...
2. Periodically release Paint Trigger every couple of feet during excessive paint. striping to avoid the Roller Cover from becoming oversaturated. Paint line skips across 1. Make sure the Mandrel and Roller Cover are rolling freely. If width of roller. not, grease “O” ring end of Mandrel Tube and “O” ring. Please call us!
