  • Page 4: Grounding And Electric Requirements

    Grounding and Electric Requirements The sprayer must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of static and electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current due to static build up or in the event of a short circuit. The sprayer requires a 120V AC, 60 Hz, 15A circuit with grounding receptacle.
