Setup

Grounding

The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk
of static sparking and electric shock. Electric or static
sparking can cause fumes to ignite or explode.
Improper grounding can cause electric shock.
Grounding provides an escape for the electric current.
System: Connect the power source ground wire in the
electrical compartment as show in Connect Power
Source on page 27. Connect the XM sprayer ground
wire clamp (FG) to a true earth ground.
Air and fluid hoses: Use only electrically conductive
hoses with a maximum of 500 ft (152 m) combined hose
length to ensure grounding continuity. Check electrical
resistance of hose regularly. If total resistance to ground
exceeds 29 megaohms, replace hose immediately.
Spray gun: Ground through connection to a properly
grounded fluid hose and pump.
Solvent pails: Follow your local code. Use only
conductive metal pails, placed on a grounded surface.
Do not place the pail on a non-conductive surface, such
as paper or cardboard, which interrupts grounding
continuity.

FG
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure: hold the metal part of the spray gun
firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then trigger
the gun.
Object being sprayed: Follow your local code.
Fluid supply container: Follow your local code.
Air compressor: Follow manufacturer's
recommendations.
