Grounding
Pump:
use ground wire and clamp (supplied). Connect
ground wire (L) to ground stud on the air motor.
Connect ground clamp to a true earth ground.
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
electrical resistance of hoses. If total resistance to
ground exceeds 29 megohms, replace hose
immediately.
Air compressor:
follow manufacturer’s
recommendations.
Spray gun / Dispense valve:
ground through
connection to a properly grounded fluid hose and
pump.
Fluid supply container:
follow local code.
Object being sprayed:
follow local code.
Do not use with dispense valve.
Solvent pails used when flushing:
follow local code.
Use only conductive metal pails, placed on a grounded
surface. Do not place the pail on a non-conductive
surface, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts
grounding continuity.
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure:
hold metal part of the spray
gun/dispense valve firmly to the side of a grounded
metal pail, then trigger the gun/valve.
Grounding Installation
Tools Required:
• Grounding wires and clamps for pails
• Two 5 gallon (19 liter) metal pails
1. Verify the ground wire (244524) (L) is attached to
the ground stud on the air motor.
2. Connect the other end of the ground wire to a true
earth ground.
3. Ground the object being sprayed, fluid supply
container, and all other equipment in the work area.
Follow your local code. Use only electrically
conductive air and fluid hoses.
4. Ground all solvent pails. Use only metal pails,
which are conductive, placed on a grounded
surface. Do not place pail on a non-conductive
surface, such as paper or cardboard, which
interrupts grounding continuity.
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.
