Grounding
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Before operating the pump, ground the
system as explained below. Also read
the section FIRE AND EXPLOSION
HAZARD on page 4.
1. Pump: use the ground wire and clamp (supplied).
See Fig. 1. Loosen the grounding lug locknut (W)
and washer (X). Insert one end of the ground wire
(Y) into the slot in lug (Z) and tighten the locknut
securely. Connect the other end of the wire to a
true earth ground.

2. Air and fluid hoses: use only electrically conductive
hoses.
3. Air compressor: follow manufacturer's recommen-
dations.
4. Spray gun/dispense valve: ground through connec-
tion to a properly grounded fluid hose and pump.
5. Fluid supply container: follow your local code.
6. Object being sprayed: follow your local code.
7. Solvent pails used when flushing: follow 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 continu-
ity.

Setup

8. To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure, hold a metal part of the spray
gun/dispense valve firmly to the side of a grounded
metal pail, then trigger the gun/valve.
Location
Position the ram so the air regulators for the pump and
the ram will be easily accessible. Ensure that there is
sufficient overhead clearance when the ram is fully
raised. Refer to Dimensions on page 15.
Using the holes in the ram base as a guide, drill four
holes for 1/2 in. (13 mm) anchors.
Check that the ram base is level in all directions. If
necessary, level the base using metal shims. Secure
the base to the floor using 13 mm (1/2 in.) anchors
which are long enough to prevent the ram from tipping.

Wiper Plate Shield Kit 223689
Z
Wiper Plate Shield Kit 223689 is available to cover the
fluid side of the 19 liter (5 gallon) wiper plate, to keep it
clean. The kit includes ten disposable, polyethylene
shields. The shields may be reused, if desired, by
removing excess material with a squeegee.
0864
To use, place one shield on the surface of the fluid
before the wiper plate enters the pail. The shield will
adhere to the plate as the plate moves downward,
preventing fluid from directly contacting the plate.
