1. Place a five gallon bucket of material between the bucket
holders on the cart. Make sure the bucket holders hold
the five gallon bucket securely. Adjust the bucket holders
using the thumb screw located underneath each holder, if
necessary.
NOTE: When using this line striper for first time, it may
be helpful to use water in place of paint to gain
familiarity with the operation of the line striper.
After changing from water to paint, test spray
several lines on cardboard, roofing felt, or rosin
paper before striping to ensure correct line width.

release the trigger at the same moment that the line
striper stops moving.
