Ground the System
The following grounding instructions are minimum
requirements for a basic dispensing system. Your sys-
tem may include other equipment or objects that must
be grounded. Check your local electrical code for
detailed grounding instructions for your area and type of
equipment. Your system must be connected to a true
earth ground.
• Fluid hoses: use only grounded fluid hoses with a
maximum of 25 feet (7.5 m) combined hose length
to ensure grounding continuity. Check electrical
resistance of your fluid hoses at least once a week.
If your hose does not have a tag on it that specifies
the maximum electrical resistance, contact the hose
supplier or manufacturer for the maximum resis-
tance limits. If the hose resistance exceeds the rec-
ommended limits, replace it immediately.
• Gun: the gun is grounded by connecting it to the
properly grounded fluid hose and by a ground wire
in the cable. Check ground continuity between the
gun body and the heat control ground lug.
• Fluid supply container: ground according to the
local code.
• Flammable liquids in the dispense area: must be
kept in approved, grounded containers. Do not store
more than the quantity needed for one shift.
• All solvent pails used when flushing: ground
according to local code. Use only metal pails, which
are conductive. Do not place the pail on a non-con-
ductive surface, such as paper or cardboard, which
interrupts the grounding continuity.
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or reliev-
ing pressure: hold a metal part of the gun firmly to the
side of a grounded metal pail, then trigger the gun. To
reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the pump,
object being dispensed to, and all other spraying/dis-
pensing equipment used or located in the spraying/dis-
pensing area. Check your local electrical code for
detailed grounding instructions for your area and type of
equipment.
