PAINTING OPERATIONS
PREPARING TO PAINT
The Field Marker is now ready to fill with
paint. Most field paints are concentrated and require thinning
at a 2:1 ratio. This is just a suggested ratio. Refer to any
manufacturer's recommendations. This could change depending
on the quality of paint used or quality of paint lines desired.
Higher quality paints may require a 4:1 ratio of water to
paint. The following is an example of how to mix a 2:1 ratio
paint mixture.
| 1. |
Mix by filling the Wide Mouth Mixing
Jug with concentrate to the 1-1/2 gallon mark, and filling
to the 2-1/2 gallon mark with water. |
| 2. |
Close the lid tightly, shake vigorously,
and pour into the poly tank. |
| 3. |
Fill the mixing jug again with only
water to the 2 gallon mark and pour into the poly tank. |
| 4. |
This procedure provides 4-1/2 gallons
of field paint with a 2:1 mixture. |
| 5. |
Repeat until both tanks are full. |
IMPORTANT:
Additional agitation provides better dilution of the mixture.
Failure to follow this procedure results in plugging of the
inlet screen on the pickup tube. The thickness or viscosity
of paint may affect the flow of paint and nozzle pressure.
SPRAYING PAINT
You can spray paint two different ways with
your Rider Field Marker. Lines are painted with the Rider
by means of the Spray Shoe located under the machine and detailing
can be done with the Spray Wand at the rear of the machine.
SPRAY SHOE OPERATION
The Spray Shoe is design for painting lines
while the Rider is in a forward motion. Backing up the machine
while spraying is not recommended. Operate Spray Shoe as follows:
| 1. |
Lower Spray Shoe if in the Raised/Locked
position. |
| 2. |
Adjust Spray Shoe to the desired width
by turning adjusting set screws (2) located on side of
Spray Shoes (See Spray Head Adjustment instructions.)
with an allen wrench. |
| 3. |
Loosen adjusting knobs at front of
Rider to set Line Guide to a comfortable position for
operator. Tighten knobs securely. |
| 4. |
Start Rider and adjust engine speed
to the "FAST" position (See Starting instructions.) |
| 5. |
Turn the switch located on the control
panel to the "ON" position. The pumps will turn
on and recirculate paint into the tanks. |
| 6. |
Once speed of the Rider is selected
(See Wheel Drive instructions) and direction is decided,
the spray nozzle applicator can be turned "ON/OFF"
any time using the 2-way valve located under the seat
on the left side. Moving the handle to the down position
will cause the paint to flow to the spray nozzle applicator.
Moving the handle to the horizontal position will turn
off the paint flow. |
| 7. |
Use line guide to follow premarked
course to aid in painting straight lines. |
SPRAY WAND OPERATION
The Spray Wand is designed for painting
details on the athletic field. It is recommended that the
Rider be in a stationary position while the Spray Wand is
in use. Operate Spray Wand as follows:
| 1. |
Uncoil Spray Wand from hanger and hook
hose into "Quick-Coupler" located at center
of machine below the seat. |
| 2. |
Start Rider and adjust engine speed
to the "FAST" position (See Starting instructions.) |
| 3. |
Apply Parking Brake (See Stopping
instructions) and dismount machine. |
| 4. |
Turn switch located on the control
panel to the "ON" position. The pumps will turn
on and recirculate paint into the tanks. |
| 5. |
Turn the 2-way valve handle, located
under the seat on the left side, up to allow paint to
flow to the Spray Wand. |
| 6. |
Depress handle on Spray Wand to begin
spraying. |
| 7. |
Adjust Spray Wand nozzle to give desired
cones. |
SPRAY HEAD ADJUSTMENT
Make a sample stripe to check line width
and spray pattern. Adjusting line width is accomplished by
loosening the set screws, sliding the spray shoe to desired
width, then tightening the set screws. The closer the shoes
are set together, the lower the Spray Head should be set.
Setting of the Spray Head is accomplished by loosening the
setscrew in the collar of the Spray Head with the provided
Allen wrench found in the Tool Kit. The spray pattern should
not contact more than ONE INCH of the bottom of the spray
shoe for best paint usage.
SPRAY SHOE LIFT
The Spray Shoe Lift Control is provided
to raise the Spray Shoe during transport or spraying over
uneven ground.
| 1. |
To lift the Spray Shoe, depress the
Spray Shoe Lift Pedal on the right side of the console. |
| 2. |
To lock the Spray shoe in the raised
position, depress the Lift Pedal and flip open the lock. |
| 3. |
Release raised Spray Shoe (take foot
off Lift Pedal), depress Lift Pedal and close the lock. |
IMPORTANT:
The Spray Shoe is not designed to spray in the Locked/Raised
position. Lower Spray Shoe during painting operations.
FLOW CONTROL VALVE
The flow control valve is located on the
left side of the machine under operator's seat. The valve
comes preset from the factory at the full flow position. To
restrict the flow, start by loosening the small nut located
underneath the brass knurled knob by turning it counter-clockwise.
Turn the knurled knob in a clockwise direction until the desired
flow is achieved, then tighten down the small nut to prevent
the knob from turning during operation.
IV.
MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance of this equipment will
maintain its efficient performance and prolong the life of
all elements of operation.
CLEANING
IMPORTANT:
The single most important item to emphasize in maintaining
this Field Marker is the cleaning of the unit after each
use.
| 1. |
Drain unused field paint into a separate
container from the poly tanks on the Rider and rinse thoroughly
with water. Each tank is equipped with a drain located
on the bottom of each tank. |
| 2. |
Fill the poly tanks with clean water
and flush the system, including the Spray Wand, until
the discharged water runs clear (See Spraying instructions.) |
| 3. |
Use the balance of the clean water
with Spray Wand to rinse the frame, wheels and tires,
and Spray Shoe. |
| 4. |
