Ground the System
WARNING
FIRE
AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Improper grounding could cause static
sparking, which could cause a fire or
explosion. T
o reduce the risk of property
damage or serious injury
, follow the
grounding instructions below
.
The following grounding instructions are minimum
requirements for a system. Y
our system may include
other equipment or objects which must be grounded.
Check your local electrical code for detailed grounding
instructions for your area and type of equipment. Y
our
system must be connected to a true earth ground.
1. Pump:
Ground the pump by connecting a ground
wire and clamp between the fluid supply and a true
earth ground as instructed in your separate pump
instruction manual.
2.
Air compressors and hydraulic power sup
-
plies:
Ground them according to the manufacturer
recommendations.
3. Air
,
fluid, and hydraulic hoses connected to
the pump
:
Use only grounded hoses with a maxi
-
mum of 500 feet (150 m) combined hose length to
ensure grounding continuity
. Check the electrical
resistance of your air and fluid hoses at least once
a week. If the resistance exceeds the recom
-
mended limits, replace the hose immediately
.
4.
Spray gun:
Ground the gun by connecting it to a
properly grounded fluid hose and pump.
5. Fluid supply container:
Ground it according to
local code.
6. Object being sprayed:
Ground it according to
local code.
7. All solvent pails used when flushing:
Ground
them according to local code. Use only metal pails,
which are conductive. Do not place the pail on a
non-conductive surface, such as paper or card
-
board, which interrupts the grounding continuity
.
8. To maintain grounding continuity when flush-
ing or relieving pressure:
Always hold a metal
part of the gun firmly to the side of a grounded
metal pail, then trigger the gun.
