Grounding
The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk
of static sparking. Static sparking can cause fumes to
ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape wire
for the electric current.
Pump: use ground wire and clamp. Connect ground
clamp to a true earth ground as shown in separate
pump manual.
Air and fluid hoses: use only electrically conductive
hoses with a maximum of 100 ft. (30.5 m) combined
hose length to ensure grounding continuity. Check
electrical resistance of hoses. If total resistance to
ground exceeds 25 megohms, replace hose
immediately.
NOTE: Use a meter that is capable of measuring
resistance at this level.
Air compressor: follow manufacturer's
recommendations.
Dispense valve: ground through connection to a
properly grounded fluid hose and pump.
Fluid supply container: 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
surface, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts
grounding continuity.
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure: ensure metal part of dispense
valve is in contact with a grounded metal waste
container before actuating the valve.

Flush Before Using Equipment
The equipment was tested with lightweight oil, which is
left in the fluid passages to protect parts. To avoid
contaminating your fluid with oil, flush the equipment
with a compatible solvent before using the equipment.
