Installation
Grounding (continued)
To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the pump and all
other equipment used or located in the pumping area. Check
your local electrical code for detailed grounding instructions
for your area and type of equipment. Ground all of this
equipment.
D Pump: Connect a ground wire and clamp as shown in Fig.
1. Loosen the grounding screw (W). Insert one end of a
1.5 mm@ minimum ground wire (Y) behind the grounding
screw and tighten the screw securely. Connect the clamp
end of the ground wire to a true earth ground. Order Part
No. 819.4486 Ground Wire and Clamp.
NOTE: When pumping conductive flammable fluids with
a polypropylene or a Kynar pump, always ground the
entire fluid system. See the Warning on page 4.
D Air and Fluid hoses: Use only electrically conductive
hoses.
D Air compressor: Follow the manufacturer's recommenda-
tions.
D All solvent pails used when flushing, according to local
code. Use only metal pails, which are conductive. Do not
place the pail on a non-conductive surface, such as paper
or cardboard, which interrupts the grounding continuity.
D Fluid supply container: Follow the local code.
