Grounding and Electric
Requirements
Sprayer must be grounded. Grounding reduces
the risk of static and electric shock by providing an
escape wire for electrical current due to static build
up or in the event of a short circuit.
• The 120 Vac spray-
ers require a 120
Vac, 60 Hz, 15A cir-
cuit with a ground-
ing receptacle.
• Never use an outlet
that is not grounded
or an adapter.
• Do not use the sprayer if the
electrical cord has a dam-
aged ground prong.
• Only use an extension cord
with an undamaged 3-prong
plug.
Recommended extension cords for use with
this sprayer:
• 50 ft (15.0 m) 14 AWG (2.1 mm
2
)
• 100 ft (30.0 m) 12 AWG (3.3 mm
2
)
Spray gun
: ground through connection to a prop-
erly grounded fluid hose and pump.
Fluid supply container
: follow local code.
Solvent pails used when flushing
: follow local
code. Use only conductive metal pails, placed on a
grounded surface such as concrete. Do not place
the pail on a nonconductive surface, such as paper
or cardboard, which interrupts grounding continuity.
Grounding the metal pail
: connect a ground wire
to the pail by clamping one end to pail and other
end to ground such as a water pipe.
Maintaining grounding conti-
nuity when flushing or reliev-
ing pressure: hold metal part
of the spray gun firmly to the
side of a grounded metal pail,
then trigger the gun.
Thermal Overload
Motor has a thermal overload switch to shut itself
down if overheated. If unit overheats, allow approx-
imately 45 minutes for unit to cool. Once cool,
switch will close and unit will restart.

Smaller gauge or longer extension cords may
reduce sprayer performance.
To reduce risk of injury from motor starting unex-
pectedly when it cools, always turn power switch
OFF if motor shuts down.
