User manual EARLEX PR9

[. . . ] Do not remove the lid containing the motor and pump when in operation. Do not operate when paint container is empty. G During breaks in painting never allow the roller to be placed on a surface lower than the paint level in the container as this could cause the paint to siphon out. G Always wear protective clothing and as with all decorating, cover furnishings, carpets etc. G Ensure all parts are thoroughly cleaned as instructed in the cleaning guide, and when replacing roller cover use only the PRA2 supplied by Earlex. [. . . ] FILLING Unclip top motor housing and pour the paint into the container, fill to a MAXIMUM of 3 litres. Refit the motor housing making sure that both clips are fully engaged. 3 ltr MAX CONNECTING Connect the end of the delivery tube with the spring guard on it to the outlet spout of the paint unit and the other end to the base of the roller handle. Ensure both ends are firmly secured with the hose clips provided. Feed the shoulder strap through the handle ensuring that it will not release itself in operation, adjust strap as required. Insert 4 batteries into the battery compartment in the motor housing, ensuring the correct polarities. Slow HI OFF LOW Fast SWITCHING ON Moisten the roller with water and select "high" on the switch which will ensure the paint is pumped to the roller head in approximately five (5) minutes. Once paint has reached the head, adjust the setting to suit your speed of painting and the thickness of the paint. Apply the paint evenly with a smooth rolling action. If the lowest setting is still too fast to keep up with, occasionally slide the speed control to the "off" position, to allow you to disperse any excess paint. If using with the extension pole (optional accessory) always have the power setting on "high". 3 TAKING A BREAK If you wish to take a short break, switch to the "off" position and place the roller into the resting tray supplied. Ensure the roller is not lower than the level of the paint in the paint container to avoid siphoning. For breaks of up to 24 hours, slide the switch to the OFF position, place a plastic bag over the roller head, tying around the bag to ensure this is airtight. The roller must be kept above the level of the paint container. CLEANING To consistently obtain the best results from your paint roller, it is essential that all the components are cleaned thoroughly once painting is completed. When cleaning the PR9 care must be taken to ensure that the tap adaptor is held in position to prevent spillage. As tap designs and water pressure may vary considerably, it is advisable to turn on the tap gently and gradually build up the pressure when using the tap connector to prevent it being forced off of the tap. Using warm water, washing up liquid and a brush will speed up the cleaning of the roller head, paint container and pump parts by breaking down the paint. Unclip the top motor housing from the paint container and empty any remaining paint from the container back into the paint can. To recover the unused paint in the hose remove the hose from the top motor housing and the roller head. Connect the tap connector to one end of the hose, ensuring that it is firmly held in place with one of the hose clips. Hang the other end of the hose over the paint can, and push the tap connector onto a tap. Turn on the tap gently and gradually increase the water pressure to flush the paint from the hose. Do not turn the tap to full pressure immediately as this could force the tap connector off of the tap. [. . . ] Check that the batteries are not corroded or damaged.
