Position the drip tray under the roller.
Use
Filling with paint (fig. E & F)
Note: When using the Speedy Roller
it will take most of the paint in the paint reservoir to saturate
the roller cover. A second fill may be needed.
Insert the small end of the fill tube (17) through the hole in
u
the bottom side of the paint can clip (18). Push gently until
it click into place.
Place the paint can clip (18) over the edge of your paint
u
can.
Note: For deeper containers, fit a section of 19mm inner
diameter clear tubing over the ribs of the fill tube to extend it
and clip to side of pail with fill tube can clip. Cut the bottom
end of the tubing at a slight angle. Tubing is available at most
DIY stores.
Lubricate the top of the fill tube (17) with a small amount
u
of petroleum jelly.

Adjusting the angle of the roller head (fig. G & H)
The roller head can be adjusted to three different angles.
Press and hold the orange head ratation button (6) on the
u
roller head (7).
Rotate the rollerhead (7) to the required angle.
u
Note: Use straight on for general painting and 40
angles for hard to reach places or when painting close to
ceiling or edging.
Note: The handle (10) can be rotated to make it more comfort-
able when painting with an angled roller frame. To rotate
handle to desired position, loosen collar (11), adjust handle
and retighten collar (fig H).
Painting with the Speedy Roller
Begin rolling on wall and push plunger handle (1) or
u
squeeze trigger (2) to feed paint into the roller cover.
Note: Initial saturation of the roller may require the full amount
of paint from the first fill. Fill Speedy Roller
Helpful hints
The trigger only needs to be squeezed when paint is
u
needed.
If you are getting a dot pattern when painting, apply more
u
paint.
If the roller is sliding on the surface, apply less paint.
u
You may notice petroleum jelly within the handle. This is
u
necessary and will help in its operation and will not affect
the paint.
When not in use, rest the Speedy Roller
u
stand (4) with the drip tray (9) attached and positioned
under the roller..
