Mounting; Grounding - Graco Husky 1050 Series Operation

Mounting

The pump exhaust air may contain contam-
•
inants. Ventilate to a remote area. See Air
Exhaust Ventilation on page 8.
Never move or lift a pump under pressure.
•
If dropped, the fluid section may rupture.
Always follow the Pressure Relief Proce-
dure on page 14 before moving or lifting
the pump.
1. Be sure the mounting surface can support
the weight of the pump, hoses, and acces-
sories, as well as the stress caused during
operation.
2. For all mountings, be sure the pump is
bolted directly to the mounting surface.
3. For ease of operation and service, mount
the pump so air valve, air inlet, fluid inlet
and fluid outlet ports are easily accessible.
4. Rubber Foot Mounting Kit 236452 is avail-
able to reduce noise and vibration during
operation.

Grounding

The equipment must be grounded. Grounding
reduces the risk of static and electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electrical cur-
rent due to static build up or in the event of a
short circuit.
Pump: See F . 1. Loosen the grounding
IG
screw (GS). Insert one end of a 12 ga.
minimum ground wire (R) behind the
grounding screw and tighten the screw
securely. Connect the clamp end of the ground
312877A
wire to a true earth ground. A ground wire and
clamp, Part 238909, is available from Graco.
Polypropylene: Only conductive polypropyl-
ene pumps have a ground screw. Standard
polypropylene pumps are not conductive.
Never use a non-conductive polypropylene
pump with non-conductive flammable fluids.
Follow your local fire codes. When pumping
conductive flammable fluids, always ground
the entire fluid system as described.

IG
Air and fluid hoses: Use only grounded
hoses with a maximum of 500 ft (150 m) com-
bined hose length to ensure grounding conti-
nuity.
Air compressor: Follow manufacturer's
recommendations.
Fluid supply container: Follow local code.
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 nonconductive surface, such as
paper or cardboard, which interrupts ground-
ing continuity.
