Grounding

To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the pump,
object being sprayed , and all spray/dispensing equip-
ment used or located in the spray/dispensing area.
Check your local electrical code for detailed grounding
instructions for your area and type of equipment. Be
sure to ground all of this spray/dispensing equipment.

1.

Pump: 

loosen the grounding lug locknut (W) and

washer (X). Insert one end of a 1.5 mm2 (12 ga)
minimum ground wire (Y) into the slot in lug (Z)
and tighten the locknut securely. See Fig. 1. Con-
nect the other end of the wire to a true earth
ground. Order Part No. 237569 Ground Wire and
Clamp.

2.

Air hoses: use only electrically conductive hoses.

3.

Fluid hoses: use only electrically conductive fluid
hoses.

4.

Air compressor: follow manufacturer’s recommen-
dations.

5.

Spray gun/dispensing valve: grounding is obtained
through connection to a properly grounded fluid
hose and pump.

6.

Fluid supply container: according to your local
code.

7.

Object being sprayed: according to your local
code.

8.

All solvent pails used when flushing, according to
your local code. Use only metal pails, which are
conductive, placed on a grounded surface. Do not
place the pail on a nonconductive surface, such as
paper or cardboard, which interrupts the grounding
continuity.

To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure, always hold a metal part of the
spray gun/dispensing valve firmly to the side of a
grounded metal pail, then trigger the gun/valve.
