This airless equipment uses high pressure. Leaks from components or ruptured hoses can inject

fluid through the skin and into the body. Injection of paint or other fluids such as hydraulic oil into

the body can result in injury and could result in amputation of the affected area. Injection in the

skin is a serious traumatic injury. It is important to treat the injury as soon as possible.

Always make a visual inspection of all fittings and hoses prior to operating. Replace any worn or defective

hoses immediately and tighten any loose connections. Never try to repair high pressure hoses or fittings.

Never try to stop or deflect leaks with your hand or body. Never plug a hose leak with your finger, with

adhesive tape or other “stop gap” device.

Quote from the National Safety Council. “The complete observance of one simple rule would prevent

many thousands of serious injuries each year.”

That rule is: Never attempt to clean, oil, troubleshoot or adjust machine while in use!

Operate the unit only in a well ventilated area.

Turn the gas valve off at the engine during transit.9.

SAFETY EQUIPMENT

1. High pressure units must be grounded to prevent dangerous static sparking. Never operate this unit 1.

without the ground chain or strap in place.

If you experience any static sparking or any slight shock while using this equipment, stop spraying

immediately. Sparks can ignite fumes from solvents and the fluid being sprayed, dust particles and other

flammable substances, and can cause a fire or explosion and serious bodily injury and property damage.

Check the entire system for proper grounding. Do not use the system again until the problem is identified

and corrected.

A good practice is to have a dry chemical fire extinguisher nearby while operating this machine. Be familiar

with its operation and keep it properly charged.

This unit should never be operated without guards or shields in place.

It is recommended that safety glasses be worn when operating, and maintaining this unit. Loose clothing 5.

should not be worn when working around moving parts.

Hearing protection is recommended during operation of this unit.

This unit is equipped with two safety air relief valves: one on the air compressor manifold and one on the 7.

bead tank. This unit must never be operated without them in place and in good operating condition. It is

important to keep them clean and in good working order.

PAINTING SAFETY

Never flush the system under high pressure. Never spray solvent or other flushing material through the 1.

guns with the spray tips in place. An explosion or fire could result from static electricity build-up in the

presence of flammable vapors. Always remove the spray tips prior to flushing the system.

Never wipe off build-up around the spray tips until the pressure is fully relieved. When the need arises

to work on the paint guns and/or the lines, always depressurize the entire system first. Always follow the

Pressure Relief Procedure for Paint System before checking, adjusting, or shutting down the unit.

Never use standard hardware to modify an airless or high pressure system. Use high pressure fittings only.

Call the factory for the proper replacement parts and components. See the parts list in the back of this

manual.

The special high pressure hose supplied with airless or high pressure equipment is a standard component.

This hose, like all high pressure hose, must never be kinked or bent in less than a four inch radius.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

OPERATION SECTION

General Product Information

Before using this machine, check for possible damage that may have occurred to the machine during 1.

shipment. If there is damage, contact the factory before making any repairs.

Before operating this machine, read through the entire manual to learn the functions of the different

components to become familiar with the overall operation of this unit.

The basic components of the machine are the engine, the hydraulic pump, the paint pump, the paint guns,

the air compressor, and the bead guns.

This striping machine is an airless unit, which utilizes the power of a gasoline engine to power the rotary

hydraulic piston pump. The hydraulic pump powers the hydraulic motor or top section of the paint pump

assembly, which drives the lower paint section of the paint pump assembly. The paint is pumped from a 5

gallon pail or 12 gallon tank to the spray tips in the paint guns at a high pressure.

The gasoline engine also powers an air compressor that provides air to the air solenoids that turn the guns

on and off.

Beads are dispensed to the bead guns by pressurizing the bead tank.

Get in the habit of cleaning your machine every time you use it. It’s the easiest time to do it and will help 7.

prevent future problems.

Set up a maintenance schedule and stick with it. This manual contains a sample schedule to assist you.

paint preparation

Make sure the paint is thoroughly stirred. 1.

Check the paint manufacturer’s recommendations to see if the paint needs to be thinned when used in an 2.

airless spray system.

If you are using old or dirty or poor quality paint, strain the paint through a filter bag or screen that is

between 50 and 70 mesh.

Fill the paint tank with the desired amount of paint.

To prevent the paint from forming a skin on it, float a compatible solvent on top of the paint. 5.

The extra time spent in quality control when loading the paint will prevent many problems while you are striping.

pre-start up procedure

Engage the parking brake when the unit is parked.

Check fluid levels on the engine, the hydraulic oil reservoir, and the air compressor. There is a dipstick for

measuring the engine oil level. There are sight level gauges for viewing the oil level in the hydraulic tank

and the air compressor. See the Service section of this manual for proper levels and for the correct

fluids to use.

Fill the cup on the HP paint pump with Throat Seal Liquid (TSL). The cup is located in the pump block on

the lower section of the pump. (See Pg. 11)

Make sure the ground chain or strap is in contact with the ground. Strap is located on the left side of the

machine below the engine.

Turn the Hydraulic Oil Supply Valve to the off position with the handle perpendicular to the valve body.

Turn the System Pressure Adjusting Bolt on the hydraulic pump counterclockwise (out). This to reduce the 5.

load on the engine when starting the engine. The hex nut on this screw will need to be loosened in order

to turn the adjusting screw.

The Bleeder Line Valve, located by the high pressure paint filter, may also be opened (turned out).

way out. Pull the choke all the way out.

Flip the “Power” switch to “On”

Turn the ignition key to the right to start the engine. If the engine does not start in 15 seconds, wait one 3.

minute and retry. Adjust the choke if needed. If the engine still does not start check if the Pre-Start Up

Procedures have been done and check if there is gas in the tank.

Push the choke in when the engine starts. Adjust the throttle to an idle speed.

Pull the throttle all the way out so the engine runs at full speed. The throttle can be locked in place by 5.

turning the “T” handle.

Turn the HP Pump Pressure Control Knob (See Pg. 8) all the way out (counterclockwise) to assure the

pressure to the HP pump doesn’t get too high.

Turn up the system hydraulic pressure to 1200 PSI by turning the System Pressure Adjusting Bolt (See

Pg. 8) on the hydraulic pump clockwise (in) until the gauge reads 1200 PSI. Tighten the hex nut on the

adjusting screw to keep it from rotating due to vibration.

To move the machine forward, set the Forward/Reverse switch to “Forward”. Pull up on the Drive

Engagement Lever that is underneath the left handle grip. Adjust the Striping Speed Control Knob (See Pg.

9) on the left side of the machine until you are traveling at a slow walking speed. Release the lever and the

machine will coast to a stop.

To reverse the machine, move the Forward/Reverse switch on the control panel to “Reverse” while the

machine is standing still. Pull up on the Drive Engagement Lever under the left handle grip and the

machine will back up. Do not flip the Forward/Reverse switch while the machine is being powered forward

or backward.

To move the machine faster between painting operations, push the Drive Engagement Lever underneath

10.

the left grip handle down. The machine should move forward at a higher speed. Adjust the Override Speed

Control Knob on the left of the control panel until you move at a speed that will be good for in-between

striping operation. Release the lever and hold back on the machine and the machine will come to a stop.

painting procedure

Before actually painting adjust the guns to the desired distance from the machine and the desired spacing between

the guns. Raise or lower the guns to a reasonable height. Make sure fasteners are tightened.

Turn up the HP pump pressure by turning the HP Pump Pressure Control Knob at the Hydraulic Pump

clockwise (in). Start with low pressure (200-300 PSI).

Open the Hydraulic Oil Supply Valve (See Pg. 10). The handle should be in-line with the valve body. This

valve must be fully opened for the hydraulics to function properly. The HP paint pump will start cycling.

Allow the paint to circulate through the pump and back into the paint container.

After a few minutes, close the Bleeder Line Valve.

The bleeder line valve should only be open under low pressure.

Open the paint supply valve to the outside gun.

Turn up the HP pump pressure by turning the HP Pump Pressure Control Knob clockwise (in). Start with 5.

400 – 550 PSI on the HP pump pressure gauge.

The HP pump assembly is a 1.9:1 ratio pump. For every pound of hydraulic pressure that enters the

hydraulic motor side of the pump, paint is expelled out of the paint side of the pump at 1.9 pounds of

pressure. Example: If the gauge reads 650 PSI, the pressure in the high pressure paint lines is 1235 PSI.

Make sure that the arrow on the tip is pointing down. The wings of the tip guard must be to the front and

rear of the machine. (See picture on Pg. 16)

Test the outside gun by pressing the red button on the end of the respective solenoid valve. (See Pg. 12)

Repeat steps # 5 & 6 for the inside gun and the middle gun if this is a 3-gun unit. 8.

To operate the guns from the operating position: 9.

2-GUN UNIT - Press the button on the right gun control box (See Pg. 7) all the way in. Paint should begin to

spray out of the gun.

3- GUN UNIT – Move the gun #3 control switch to the “R”, right, position. Press the button on the right gun

control box (See Pg. 7) all the way in. Paint should begin to spray out of the gun.

On the 3-gun units the 3 switches on the lower center of the control are to be used to control if the gun will be

turned off (center position) or if the gun will be controlled by the right button on the right handle bar or the left

button on the left handle bar. This way, gun #1, 2, or 3, or a combination of those, can be controlled by the right

button or by the left button or turned off so they don’t spray at all.

page-16

page-16

Start the machine moving forward by pulling up on the Drive Engagement Lever under the left handle 10.

grip. After the machine is moving, press the button on the right gun control box all the way in. Paint

should begin to spray out of the gun(s).

When striping with the unit, keep moving. Start moving the unit before activating the guns. Drive through the

end of the line if possible after you have stopped spraying. This will prevent paint build up at the beginning and

the end of the line.

Always paint with the lowest possible fluid pressure that the application will allow. Increase the pressure

11.

until you get rid of the “hour glassing” - the narrowing of the line when the HP pump cycles. When the line

is sharp and clearly defined, the pressure is right. Painting at too high of a pressure results in overspray and

splattering.

General operating range for painting is between 630-870 PSI on the gauge, which is actually 1200 - 1650 PSI in

the paint system. This can vary depending on the viscosity of the paint, the number of spray guns being used,

and even the weather conditions. Less pressure will be needed when it is hot and more in cold conditions.

When using this machine as a walk-behind unit and want to keep a straight line, engage the castor lock

12.

with the Castor Lock Switch on lower left of the control panel. The machine still can be adjusted to the

left or the right by putting side pressure on the handle bars. The castor lock should not be used when a

sulky (sit-down) or chariot (stand-up) cart are being used for the operator.

Make adjustments to the paint gun height to get the desired paint width. Change to different tips if

13.

needed. See Spray Tip Selection Guide below.

Adjust the guns side-to-side to get the desired line spacing.

14.

page-17

ez-liner pro series 1300 paint striper - operating manual

page-17

spray tip selection guide

The spray tips needed for the PRO SERIES 1300 are dependant on the application, the paint viscosity and

the paint temperature. The following is a guide for selecting the right spray tip.

The tip number is a 6 digit number with sets of 3 numbers separated by a dash. The first number in the

second set of 3 indicates pattern width and the second and third numbers are orifice opening.

To determine what line width a tip will spray, double the first number and add 2. This will be the width of

line with the tip at 12 inches from the surface.

Hypothetical example: 286-319 Spray Tip

The 319 tip will spray an 8” line at 12” from the surface or a 4” line at 6” from the surface.

The 19 is .019 or 19 one thousandths of an inch.

Generally, use one gun to paint 2” to 12” wide lines and two guns to paint 12” to 24” lines.

In order to decrease line width, use a tip with a narrower pattern. To increase line width, use a tip with a

wider pattern, or use two guns.

Line width will vary with paint viscosity and paint temperature.

Check the mil thickness of the wet paint with a mil thickness gauge. Adjust the speed of the machine until

15.

you get the desired mil thickness.

bead application

To apply beads increase the pressure in the bead tank by turning the Bead Tank Regulator knob at the 1.

top of the bead tank clockwise. The pressure in the bead tank will be indicated by the gauge at the top

of the tank.

Set the pressure at 20 PSI. Increasing the pressure increases the flow of beads to the bead gun.

Bead flow is also controlled by the size of the orifice of the bead gun insert. See the Binks Model 30 Bead 3.

Gun information in the Service section of this manual for a list of nozzle inserts that are available. Flow will

also vary with the type of bead used.

On a 2-gun unit the bead guns are turned off and on with the button at the handle bars that controls the

paint guns.

The button has two stages. When the button is fully depressed both the paint and the bead guns are activated. If

the button is partially depressed only the bead gun will be activated. While painting, the button can be partially

released to stop painting and the beads will continue to flow to finish out the line that was paint.

page-18

ez-liner pro series 1300 paint striper - operating manual

page-18

On a 3-gun unit the switch for “Beads” on the control panel must be in the “On” position for the bead guns 5.

to activate with the paint guns.

The bead flow can be adjusted to zero flow by adjusting the pressure in the bead tank to zero. On the

3-gun unit this can also be done by turning the switch for “Beads” to the “Off” position.

To test the bead application, individually operate each gun and observe the bead pattern and coverage.

Increase the height of the bead gun for a wider pattern; decrease the height for a narrower pattern.

Increase or decrease the pressure in the bead tank as needed.

8. When beads need to be added to the bead tank:

a. Turn the engine off by flipping the “Key” switch to the left.

b. Relieve the pressure in the bead tank by opening the Pressure Relief Valve (See Pg.10) that is

located on the top of the bead tank.

c. Release the clamps at the top of the bead tank and remove the lid.

d. Make sure the clamps are tightly secured after filling the tank and before starting the engine and

re-pressurizing the tank.
