• It is a good idea to have drop cloths
different battery type, inserted backwards or
disassembled. Replace all batteries at the
same time with new batteries. Do not carry
batteries loose in your pocket or purse. Do
not remove battery label.
IMPORTANT: Some oil-based paints
require a stronger cleaning solution than
mineral spirits and should not be used with
the Smart Flow Roller. Using a cleaning
solution stronger than mineral spirits may
cause damage to the Smart Flow Roller.
Check with your paint supplier to be sure
the oil-based paint you have can be cleaned
with mineral spirits.

Start
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 desiged 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.

2. 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 oor 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
rst 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 rst 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 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 threefoot 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
oor. This will give you a nice even paint
nish.
• 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; nish
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
1. Push upper part of the switch to push the plunger forward and bring
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. Rell 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 geardriven plunger can pinch.
TIP: During extended break periods, place a plastic bag around the
roller cover and ll valve to keep it from drying out.
TIP: For best results, maintain a steady ow 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, ip the lever to MANUAL.
Material can be brought to the roller by pushing the plunger forward.

4. Storage
Start
Proper cleaning and lubrication of certain
components of the Smart Flow Roller are
critical to prolonging the life of the components.
If after extended use the plunger has a
tendency to stick, apply a generous amount
of petroleum jelly located on the end of the
plunger (see Lubricating the components,
step 2).
IMPORTANT: When storing the Smart Flow
Roller, make sure the ll valve is pointing
downward, and never store the Smart Flow
Roller with the ll tube inserted into the ll
valve.
IMPORTANT: Remove the batteries
when storing the Smart Flow Roller for a
prolonged period of time.
Storage notes:

1. Turn the locking collar as shown until
the main tube slides easily off of the
plunger.

housing on the main tube with
petroleum jelly.
