Important Grounding Information Important Grounding Information Before using your sprayer read this Owners Manual for complete instructions on proper use and safety warnings. The following information is intended to help you understand when to use the grounding wire and clamp provided with your sprayer.
All parts of the spray system, including the pump, hose assembly, spray gun, and objects in and around the spray area shall be properly grounded to protect against static discharge and sparks. Use Graco conductive or grounded high-pressure airless paint sprayer hoses. Follow Grounding Instructions, page 10.
