Grounding Of Pails - Graco GMAX 3400 Operation

Grounding
Grounding Procedure for
Electric Motor (Convertible
Models only)
The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk
of static sparking and electric shock. An electric or
static spark can cause fumes to ignite or explode. An
improper ground can cause electric shock. A good
ground provides an escape wire for the electric
current.
This sprayer is equipped with a power cord that has a
ground wire and an appropriate grounding plug.
If using the electric motor, plug must be plugged into an
actual outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided; if it does not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Power Requirements
Convetible is only in USA or Canada.
• 100-120 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 15A, 1 phase.
Extension Cords
Use an extension cord with an undamaged ground
contact. If an extension cord is necessary, use a 3-wire,
12 AWG (2.5 mm²) minimum.
NOTE: Smaller gauge or longer extension cords may
reduce sprayer performance.

Grounding of Pails

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.
Always ground a metal pail: connect a ground wire to
the pail. Clamp one end to the pail and the other end to
a true earth ground such as a water pipe.
To maintain ground continuity when sprayer is
flushed or pressure is relieved: hold metal part of
spray gun firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail
then trigger the gun.
