Ground the System
In low pressure air spray systems, static sparking is
generally not a problem; however, some simple pre-
cautions should be taken to reduce the risk. Check
your local code for detailed grounding instructions for
your area and type of equipment, and ground all of this
equipment.
D Pump: loosen the grounding lug locknut (W) and
washer (X). Insert one end of a 12 ga. (1.5 mm
minimum ground wire (Y) into the slot in the lug (Z)
and tighten the locknut securely. See Fig. 1 .
Connect the other end of the wire to a true earth
ground. Order Part No. 237569 Grounding Wire
and Clamp.
D Air compressor: according to manufacturer's rec-
ommendations.
D Object being sprayed: according to local code.
D Fluid supply container: according to local code.
D All solvent pails used when flushing, according to
local codes. Use only metal pails, which are con-
ductive. Do not place the pail on a non-conductive
surface, such as paper or cardboard, which inter-
rupts the grounding continuity.
