Filling the main tube

Before filling:
Your Smart Flow Roller can be used with two types of container lids that are used to allow you to pull material from the material container into the Smart Flow Roller. The lid below is designed for use with standard, one-gallon, round material containers. This lid comes standard with your Smart Flow Roller

Use the lid shown below if you are using something other than a standard, one- gallon, round material container. *Not included with all models.

Attaching the container lid / fill tube

1. Slide the small end of the fill tube (a) through the hole in the container lid you plan to use.

2. Standard containers –

3. Attach the container lid with fill tube securely to the material container.
   All other containers –

4. Thread the container lid with fill tube onto the material container

Filling the main tube

1. Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the fill tube. This will help the fill valve slide easily off the fill tube.
2. Press down and firmly hold the fill valve onto the fill tube.
3. Make sure lever is switched to POWER (b). Push the lower part of the switch (c) to draw  the plunger out and fill the tube. When thetube is full, you are ready to begin rolling.

Usage

General Rolling Tips

Preparing the room
Remove all pictures, mirrors, and decorations from the walls and draperies from the windows. Remove all nails, hardware and switch and receptacle covers. Cover furniture and floor with drop cloths. Surface Preparation

• Always remove wallpaper before painting. Wash off old adhesive and rinse with water. Allow the walls to dry before painting.
• Wash and rinse dirt, grease and oil buildup off the walls with soap and water.
• Fill all nail holes, joints and cracks with patching paste. Let dry and sand the surface until smooth. Clean sanded area with a damp cloth.
• Spot prime all patched areas and any marker and/or pen marks before applying first coat.

TIP : Write the important information from your paint can (color, formula, brand and paint type) on the back of a switch plate for future reference.

Painting the Room

TIP : If you need more than one gallon of paint to do the room’s walls, mix them together to ensure color uniformity.

• Always make sure to open a window or door to ensure proper ventilation. If you are painting both the ceiling and walls in your room, start with the ceiling first and then move to the walls.
  Ceilings:

• To minimize spills and spatters, use the spatter guard and paint across the short width of the ceiling.
  Walls:

• Tape off around the base and window and door trim.

• Paint one wall at a time.

• Pick an area to start where you can saturate the roller cover and evenly distribute the paint. Working in three-foot sections, begin by cutting in around windows, doors, cabinets, base and other breaks in the wall surface with a pad or brush.

• Press the switch until paint appears through the roller cover.

• Start painting at one end of a wall and roll out the letter “W”. Fill it in with crosswise strokes, working your way across the wall in 3’ x 3’ sections. Finish the sections by painting one solid swipe from ceiling to floor. This will give you a nice even paint finish.

• Press the switch as needed for more paint. Be careful not to over-saturate the roller cover as it may drip, slide on the wall or spatter.

• Make sure to run the roller cover over the areas you cut in around the trim and baseboards to even out the texture.

• If you need to stop and take a break; finish painting the entire wall, or stop at a break in the wall such as a doorway or corner to prevent lap marks.

Loading the roller

1. Push upper part of the switch to push the plunger forward and bring the material to the roller. When you start to see material come out of the roller, you are ready to begin rolling.
2. Push the switch as necessary to bring additional material to the roller.
3. Refill as needed (see Filling the Main Tube, page 3).

PINCH caution – Keep your hand away from the area between the rear of the handle and the plunger cap. The gear-driven plunger can pinch.

    TIP: During extended break periods, place a plastic bag around the roller cover and fill valve to keep it from drying out.

• TIP: For best results, maintain a steady flow of material to the roller. cover and avoid rolling it dry.
• TIP: Do not reverse plunger direction during rolling. This will cause air build-up in the main tube and cause spatters.
• TIP: If batteries run out during rolling, flip the lever to MANUAL. Material can be brought to the roller by pushing the plunger forward.
