Grounding and Electric Requirements
The sprayer must be grounded. Grounding reduces
the risk of static and electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electrical current due to static.
build up or in the event of a short circuit.
D
The sprayer requires
a 120 Vac, 60 Hz, 15A
circuit with grounding receptacle. Never use an
outlet that is not grounded or an adapter.

Recommended extension cords
for use with this
sprayer:
D
25 ft (7.6 m) 18 AWG
D
50 ft (15.2 m) 16 AWG
D
100 ft (30.5 m) 14 AWG
D
150 ft. (45.7 m) 12 AWG
Smaller gauge or longer extension cords may reduce
sprayer performance.
D
Ground sprayer gun
through connection to a
properly grounded fluid hose and pump.
D
Ground fluid supply container.
Follow local
code.
D
Ground solvent pails used when flushing
.
Follow local code. Use only conductive, metal pails,
placed on a grounded surface such as concrete.
Do not place the pail on a non–conductive surface
such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts the
grounding continuity.

Ground the metal pail
by connecting a ground
wire to the pail by clamping one end to pail and the
other end to ground such as as water pipe.

Motor has a thermal overload switch to shut itself
down if overheated.
