Installation

Grounding

To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the pump,

object being sprayed , and all spray/dispensing equip-

ment used or located in the spray/dispensing area.

Check your local electrical code for detailed grounding

instructions for your area and type of equipment. Be

sure to ground all of this spray/dispensing equipment.

1. Pump: loosen the grounding lug locknut (W) and

washer (X). Insert one end of a 1.5 mm2 (12 ga)

minimum ground wire (Y) into the slot in lug (Z)

and tighten the locknut securely. See Fig. 1. Con-

nect the other end of the wire to a true earth

ground. Order Part No. 237569 Ground Wire and

Clamp.

2. Air hoses: use only electrically conductive hoses.

3. Fluid hoses: use only electrically conductive fluid

hoses.

4. Air compressor: follow manufacturer’s recommen-

dations.

5. Spray gun/dispensing valve: grounding is obtained

through connection to a properly grounded fluid

hose and pump.

6. Fluid supply container: according to your local

code.

7. Object being sprayed: according to your local

code.

8. All solvent pails used when flushing, according to

your local code. Use only metal pails, which are

conductive, placed on a grounded surface. Do not

place the pail on a nonconductive surface, such as

paper or cardboard, which interrupts the grounding

continuity.

9. To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or

relieving pressure, always hold a metal part of the

spray gun/dispensing valve firmly to the side of a

grounded metal pail, then trigger the gun/valve.
