Frequently asked questions

Should I choose a transfer-wheel marker or a spray machine?

A transfer-wheel marker lays the paint straight onto the grass, without a pump, a battery or a nozzle. There is nothing to prime, nothing to unblock and nothing to charge between rounds. A spray machine gives a sharper line edge, uses less paint per pitch and is quicker over long straight runs. The Roll-liner is the choice for grounds that mark now and then and want a machine that is ready whenever they are.

Is a 10 cm line the right width for my pitch?

The Roll-liner marks a fixed 10 cm line, the common width for football and most field sports. Match the line width to your goalposts: a line noticeably narrower or wider than the post looks wrong from the touchline even when it is perfectly straight. If your pitch needs a different width, or more than one, choose a machine with adjustable discs. The Flexliner marks 6, 8, 10 and 12 cm; the Selectliner and the Easyliner mark 5, 8, 10 and 12 cm.

Which paint should I use in a Roll-liner?

Use Selectline concentrate, diluted to the ratio stated for that product. Stir the mixture until it is completely even before you fill the tank: a mixture that is too thick, or not properly stirred, transfers unevenly onto the marking wheels and shows up as a patchy line. For natural grass only.

How do I control how much paint the Roll-liner puts down?

Your walking pace does it. The grooved transfer wheel picks up a steady amount of paint, so a slower pace leaves more on the grass and a brisker pace leaves less. Keep an even pace for an even line, and get the dilution right before you start. More paint does not make a line more visible, and a heavy application sits on the leaf and blocks light and moisture.

What warranty applies, and how do I dispose of leftover paint?

The Roll-liner carries a one-year manufacturer's warranty, registered online after purchase: registration is what activates the cover. Dispose of surplus paint and packaging at a collection point for hazardous or special waste, never into a drain or onto the pitch. Clean the machine after every use with clean water and Selectline Cleaner; skipped cleaning causes more faults than wear does.
