Static Grounding
Instructions (Oil-Based
materials)
Always use a metal pail for oil-based
materials requiring flushing with compatible
oil-based flushing solvents when sprayer is
flushed or pressure is relieved.
Follow local code. Use only conductive metal
pails, placed on a grounded surface such as
concrete.
Do not place pail on a non-conductive surface
such as paper or cardboard which interrupts
grounding continuity.
The equipment must be grounded to
reduce the risk of static sparking and
electric shock. An electric or static spark
can cause fumes to ignite or explode. An
improper ground can cause electric shock.
A good ground provides an escape wire for
the electric current.
