Troubleshooting
Programmable Skipline Controller
PROBLEM
CAUSE
Fuse, battery, or wiring
SOLUTION
1. Check fuse located next to 12V
RoadLazer battery.
Controller not turning on
2. Check battery voltage. Replace if
necessary.
3. Inspect wiring at battery for corro-
sion. Inspect control cable for dam-
age.
1. Check battery voltage. A weak bat-
tery can drop voltage low enough to
cause intermittent shut down.
Controller shutting down or cutting out
during striping
Battery or wiring
2. Check wiring.
3. Ground control box to vehicle chas-
sis.
1. Remove gun arm from stowed posi-
tion, and start up engine. System
delay will not turn on unless you are
ready to stripe.
System Delay not turning on
System not configured for striping or is
shut off
2. System Delay must be turned back
on after engine is turned off.
1. Check sensor (524) located on gun
arm wheel assembly. Set sensor
approximately 1/8 in. (3 mm) from
target plate.
Controller not displaying MPH (KM/H),
or readout is erratic
Gun arm sensor or sensor wiring
2. Check sensor head for damage.
Replace if damaged.
3. Check sensor wiring by removing
solenoid valve cover (519).
1. This is usually true. Get it as close as
possible, then spray one additional
test line and try to hit the start point.
System Delay actual distance not pre-
cisely matching programmed distance
Programmed distance needs fine tuning
2. Measure difference between start
point and where paint guns turn on. If
paint guns turn on before start point,
add measured difference to current
system delay distance. If paint guns
turn on after start point, subtract
measured difference.

Troubleshooting
Air and Bead System
PROBLEM
CAUSE
SOLUTION
See Air Compressor Belt Replace-
Belts squealing during engine startup
Compressor belt needs tightening or
replacing
Fill bead tank with beads or turn off air
supply to bead tank.
Paint guns not spraying when empty
bead tank is empty
All of air supplied by air compressor is
rushing out of bead gun nozzles. In turn,
system air pressure cannot build
enough to trigger guns. This is normal.
1. Make sure silver switch on top of
unloader valve (148) is turned hori-
zontally.
No system pressure
Compressor bypassing air continuously
2. Move silver switch on top of unloader
valve (148) up and down. This might
loosen a sticky valve.
3. Replace unloader valve (148).
1. Only pressurize reflective materials
when dispensing. Small air leaks at
gun nozzle or air fittings cause con-
tinuous moisture to be pumped into
tank.
Beads not dispensing properly
Excessive water or moisture in bead
tank
2. For areas of extreme humidity a Ben-
dix air dryer or equivalent may be
installed in air line bead tank. Typi-
cally when beads are used continu-
ously, they do not spend enough
time in tank to collect enough mois-
ture to be a problem. Usually it is
continuous stencil painting for long
periods of time with little bead con-
sumption and high humidity that can
cause problems.
1. Fix all air leaks before they become
a problem. Air leaks can eventually
starve system air supply.
Low system pressure
Excessive air leaks
2. Most air leaks occur at bead tank
outlet fitting. If fitting leaks air, com-
pletely remove it and use thread tape
and liquid thread sealant before rein-
stalling it.
1. Never store RoadLazer with reflec-
tive materials in tank for long periods
of time.
No beads dispensing
Beads have solidified
2. Remove aluminum fitting from bot-
tom of tank. Flush out solidified
beads.
3. Use air hose or water hose to break
up and remove solidified beads from
tank.

Troubleshooting
Kohler Engine
PROBLEM
CAUSE
SOLUTION
1. Turn on Programmable Skipline Control-
ler. Engine will not start with control off.
Engine not starting
Programmable Skipline Controller is
shut off, or engine is out of fuel
2. Check fuel supply.
3. See Kohler engine instruction manual.
1. Check fuel supply. Open breather on
fuel tank. Check engine oil level.
Engine stalling
Engine fuel tank is empty or not breath-
ing, or engine oil is low.
2. See Kohler engine instruction manual.
Paint Pumps
PROBLEM
Pumps wearing prematurely
SOLUTION
Reduce premature pump wear and costly down-time with the following tips:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Keep piston throat full of TSL
If possible, shorten lines to reduce pump back pressure
Use Graco strainer at pump inlet to filter-out dried paint and debris
Inspect internal suction hoses for paint build-up, which can cause pump starving
Replace pump packings seasonally to increase piston and sleeve life
Always keep hydraulic reservoir full to reduce heat build-up
Paint and Paint Manufacturers
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
When ordering paint from manufacturer:
Do not know what type of paint to use
•
Inform paint suppliers of type of equipment to be used (RoadLazer), filter screen
sizes (30 mesh) and tip sizes (33 to 45 thousands)
•
Require that paint must pass through a 30-mesh filter with minimal filter plugging
Things to know about waterborne paint and striping equipment:
•
Flush waterborne paints from system if system is not used on a regular basis.
Waterborne paints do not dilute easily. Use warm soapy water to flush system.
•
Waterborne paints will not redissolve. Dried paint film in paint containers or paint
suction lines must be removed. Graco offers a Suction Line Strainer Kit 24G774
that should be installed at least 2 ft from pump inlet to remove contamination.
Strainers must be cleaned regularly to avoid pump starving or cavitation.
•
•
Waterborne paints cannot freeze or tolerate temperatures above 120° F (49° C).
Consult paint manufacturer.
With age, waterborne paint pigments settle to bottom of container. Never use set-
tled paint without agitating. It is important to order fresh paint. Require paint manu-
facturers to supply manufactured dates and stagger shipments throughout striping
season.
