Installation

Grounding

The equipment 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.
Pump: Use the ground screw (GS) and lockwasher on
the motor to attach a 244524 ground wire (Y). Tighten
the screw securely. Connect the other end of the ground
wire to a true earth ground.
GS
Air and fluid hoses: use only electrically conductive

hoses.

Air compressor: follow manufacturer's recommenda-
tions.
Spray gun: ground through connection to a properly
grounded fluid hose and pump.
3A2851A
Fluid supply container: follow local code.
Object being sprayed: 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 sur-
face, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts
grounding continuity.
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure: hold metal part of the spray gun
firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then trigger
the gun.

Flush Before Using Equipment

The equipment was tested with lightweight oil, which is
Y
left in the fluid passages to protect parts. To avoid con-
taminating your fluid with oil, flush the equipment with a
compatible solvent before using the equipment. See
Flushing, page 12.

Mounting Accessories

See Dimensions, page 16 and Mounting Hole Lay-
outs, page 17.
Hoses
Be sure all hoses are properly sized and pressure-rated
for your system. Use only electrically conductive hoses.
Fluid hoses must have spring guards on both ends. Use
a whip hose (P) and a swivel (R) between the main fluid
hose (N) and the gun/valve (S) to allow freer gun/valve
movement.
