Installation
Grounding
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.
The following grounding instructions are minimum
requirements for a system. Check your system for other
components that must be grounded. Follow local
codes and regulations. Connect the system to a true
earth ground.
Spray gun: Ground through connection to a properly
grounded fluid line and pump.
Pump: Ground as detailed in your separate pump
manual.
Air and fluid lines: Use only electrically conductive
lines with a maximum of 100 ft (30.5 m) combined line
length to ensure grounding continuity. Check electrical
resistance of lines. If total resistance to ground exceeds
25 megohms, replace line immediately.
Air compressor: Follow manufacturer's
recommendations.
Fluid supply container: Follow local codes and
regulations.
Object being sprayed: Follow local codes and
regulations.
Solvent pails used when flushing: Follow local codes
and regulations. Use only conductive metal pails,
placed on a grounded surface. Do not place the pail on
a nonconductive surface, such as paper or cardboard,
which interrupts grounding continuity.
Accessories: Follow local codes and regulations.
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure: Hold a metal part of the spray gun
firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then actuate
the gun.

Mount the Equipment
1. Ensure that the mounting setup can support the
weight of the spray gun (P), system components,
and accessories, as well as the stress caused
during operation.
2. Mount the spray gun (P) on a rod (AB) with a
diameter of 0.50 in. (12.7 mm). See F
3. Tighten the tee handle (L) to secure the spray gun
(P) in place.
NOTE: Ensure that the tip (22) of the spray gun (P)
is 12 in. (305 mm) away from the surface of the
workpiece (V). See F
NOTE: For ease of operation and service, mount
the spray gun so the spray gun components are
easily accessible.

Ventilate the Workspace
To prevent hazardous concentrations of toxic or
flammable vapors, only use the equipment in a
well-ventilated area. Only operate the equipment
when ventilation fans are operating. Follow local
codes and regulations.
