Grounding

Grounding
Air and fluid hoses: use only electrically conductive
hoses with a maximum of 500 ft. (150 m) combined
hose length to ensure grounding continuity. Check elec-
trical resistance of hoses. If total resistance to ground
exceeds 29 megohms, replace hose immediately.
Spray gun: ground through connection to a properly
grounded fluid hose and pump.
Fluid supply container: follow local code.
Object being sprayed: follow local code.
Power Requirements
100-120V units require 100-120 VAC, 60 Hz, 11A,
1 phase.
Extension Cords
• Use an extension cord with an undamaged ground
contact.
• If an extension cord is necessary, use a 3-wire, 12
AWG (2.5 mm
2
) minimum.
Pails
Solvent and oil/based fluids: follow local code. Use
only conductive metal pails, placed on a grounded sur-
face. Do not place the pail on a nonconductive surface,
such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts grounding
continuity.
Grounding a metal pail: connect a ground wire to the
pail by clamping one end to pail and other end to a true
earth ground such as a water pipe.
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure: hold metal part of spray gun firmly
to side of a grounded metal pail. Then trigger gun.
The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk of
static sparking. Static sparking can cause fumes to
ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape wire
for the electric current.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is prop-
erly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
Do not modify plug! If it will not fit in outlet, have
grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Do not use an adapter.
