[. . . ] G Do not allow the motor housing to become immersed in water as this can seriously damage the electrical components. G Always remove the batteries if the unit is to be stored or not used for a while. are applied, health hazards arising from lack of ventilation when working in confined spaces, or failure of the equipment due to inadequate cleaning of components after use. Neither our guarantee nor the above statement affect your statutory rights. [. . . ] If you have tried to operate the unit with paint that is too thick, in addition to thinning the paint, you will need to remove the filter and clean this thoroughly before the pump will operate correctly. 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. 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. 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. 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. Once the hose is clean it can be used to rinse out the paint connector and the outside of the filter. The end of the hose can be pinched or partly blocked with a finger or thumb to create a jet of water which will speed up cleaning of the interior of the paint container. [. . . ] Check that the paint has been stirred thoroughly and is not too thick. It can help to pump a small amount of water through the pump and delivery tube (not the roller, which should be damp) to speed up paint flow.
