Grounding and Electric
Requirements
The sprayer must be grounded. Grounding reduces the
risk of static and electric shock by providing an escape
wire for the electrical current due to static build up or in
the event of a short circuit.
The sprayer power cord
includes a grounding wire with
an appropriate grounding contact.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. Do not use an adapter.
Do not use the sprayer if the electrical cord has a dam-
aged ground prong. Do not modify plug. If it will not fit in
outlet, have a grounded outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Power Requirements
100-120V units require 100-120VAC, 50/60 Hz,
15A, 1 phase
230V units require 230VAC, 50/60 Hz, 7.5A, 1
phase
Never use an outlet that is not grounded or an
adapter.
Only 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.
Spray gun
: ground through connection to a properly
grounded fluid hose and pump.
Fluid supply container
: follow local code.
Solvent and oil-based fluids
: follow local code. Use
only conductive metal pails, placed on a grounded sur-
face such as concrete.
Do not place the pail on a nonconductive surface, such
as paper or cardboard, which interrupts grounding conti-
nuity.
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.
Maintain grounding continuity
when flushing or
relieving pressure: hold metal part of the spray gun
firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then trigger
the gun.
TIC
Smaller gauge or longer extension cords may
reduce sprayer performance.
