The application rates depend on the individual  
application conditions and environment. Typically tape is  
being applied at walking speed.  
Health and Safety Information  
Precautions:  
Wear safety shoes and appropriate gloves while handling  
and using the Manual Tape Applicator.  
Description  
The 3M™ Manual Tape Applicator MTA-2 is intended  
to be used for the application of 3M™ Stamark™  
Pavement Marking Tapes. It is a simple-to-use, two-  
wheeled, robust, push-type device. (Figure 1)  
The usage of A 380ESD(high tack adhesive) demands  
installation of the MTA-2 upgrade-kit DR995032239  
to prevent roll blocking by the high tack adhesive  
during the tape application.

Procedure for Adjusting Machine and Tape  
Load the tape roll, feed it in to the machine and do the  
necessary adjustments, as shown in Figure 3 to 8. As  
soon as these steps are done, the machine is ready for the  
application.  
Caution: Do not activate the cutting knife, while doing  
adjustments!  
Figure 1: MTA-2 Tape applicator  
The device is specifically designed to apply pavement  
marking tapes precoated with pressure sensitive  
adhesive.  
The applicator weighs 75kg and can be partially  
disassembled for transporting in a van, truck or station  
wagon.  
Product Width and Spacing  
The MTA-2 can be used to apply all Stamark™  
pavement marking tapes at all standard roll length.  
Note: If special roll with larger length are being ordered,  
the maximum roll diameter must not exceed 50cm, if the  
material is to be applied with a Manual Tape Applicator.  
Figure 3: Feeding of the Tape  
Operation  
The MTA-2 is operated by one person.  
Note: Pavement Marking Roll changing should be  
supported by a second person due to the weight of a tape  
roll in order to avoid extensive workload for a single  
operator.

Adjustments  
The Knifes are pre-adjusted by the manufacturer to slide  
across each other with a minimum of friction in a scissors  
action. Adjustment is needed when the tape is not  
properly cut.  
Either the stationary knife or the sliding knife may be  
adjusted. To adjust the stationary knife, untighten the  
mounting screws slightly. Turn the setscrews to bring the  
cutting edge down, and retighten the mounting screws.  
The same procedure is followed to adjust the sliding  
knife. Each knife has two cutting edges. The knives may  
be removed and new cutting edges exposed. The knives  
may be sharpened after the cutting edges are dull.  
Trouble Shooting  
Figure 10: Cutting the tape  
Tape is not properly cut: The tape will not cut cleanly if  
cutting is done while the applicator is in motion. If the  
knife edges are dull or out of alignment, the knives  
should be sharpened and adjusted. (See Adjustments).  
Clean adhesives build up from knives. (See  
Maintenance).  
Tamping  
After applying the pavement marking tape tamp it  
thoroughly with the RTC-3 with a minimum 90kg  
(200lb.) load.  
When using the RTC-3 Roller Tamper Cart:  
Do not twist or turn the tamping device on the tape.  
Make three passes back and forth over each part of  
the tape  
Move the RTC-3 slowly (4-5 km/h) over the tape  
Make sure all edges are firmly adhered  
If applying block markings or pedestrian crossings,  
start in the center of the marking, then work towards  
the edges to remove trapped air.  
MTA-2 - Spare Parts:  
Spare parts can be ordered directly at the machine  
manufacturer. Please contact your 3M representative for  
further information.

Maintenance  
Keep all Fasteners Tight  
Lubrication: The pivot points and sliding areas should  
be kept lubricated with light oil.  
Cleaning: The silicone application roller wheels and  
cutting mechanism must be kept clean.  
Mineral spirits, fuel oil or any other light oil cleaners  
may be used on the wheels and knives.  
Check knife blades from time to time to prevent adhesive  
build-up.  
Solvents may be used occasionally for difficult cleaning  
problems. A spray bottle of cleaner or silicone spray is  
useful to prevent asphalt and dirt pickup on the wheels  
and adhesive buildup on the knives during operation.  
Caution: Do not use solvents or petroleum products on  
the silicone application roll when working on new, hot  
asphalt surfaces.  
To prevent asphalt buildup around the roller, untighten  
the scraper mounting screws and move the scraper back.  
Tighten the screws.
