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 a ground wire and clamp. Remove the green
ground screw (Z) from the bottom of the air motor. Insert
the screw through the loop on the end of the ground wire
(Y) and reattach the screw to the air motor. Connect the
ground clamp to a true earth ground. See F

Air and fluid hoses: use only electrically conductive
hoses with a maximum of 500 ft. (150 m) combined
hose length to ensure grounding continuity. Check the
electrical resistance of hoses. If total resistance to
ground exceeds 29 megohms, replace hose immedi-
ately.
Air compressor: follow manufacturer's recommenda-
tions.
Hydraulic power supply: follow manufacturer's recom-
mendations.
Surge tank: use a ground wire and clamp.
Spray gun: ground through a connection to a properly
grounded fluid hose and pump.

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.

in the accessory pump stand (B), Part 218742. Secure
the stand to the floor with M19 (5/8 in.) bolts which
engage at least 152 mm (6 in.) into the concrete floor to
prevent the pump from tipping.
