Grounding

To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the pump,
object being sprayed, and all spray/dispensing equip-
ment used or located in the spray/dispensing area.
Check your local electrical code for detailed grounding
instructions for your area and type of equipment. Be
sure to ground all of this spray/dispensing equipment.
1. Pump: loosen the grounding lug locknut (W) and
washer (X). Insert one end of a 1.5 mm2 (12 ga)
minimum ground wire (Y) into the slot in 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 Ground Wire and Clamp.
2. Air hoses: use only electrically conductive hoses.
3. Fluid hoses: use only electrically conductive fluid
hoses.
4. Air compressor: follow manufacturer's recommen-
dations.
5. Spray gun/dispensing valve: grounding is obtained
through connection to a properly grounded fluid

6. Fluid supply container: according to your local code.
7. Object being sprayed: according to your local code.
8. All solvent pails used when flushing, according to
your local code. Use only metal pails, which are
conductive, placed on a grounded surface. Do not
place the pail on a nonconductive surface, such as
paper or cardboard, which interrupts the grounding
continuity.
9. To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure, always hold a metal part of the
spray gun/dispensing valve firmly to the side of a
grounded metal pail, then trigger the gun/valve.
