WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Proper electrical grounding is essential
to reduce the risk of fire or explosion
which can result in serious injury and
property damage. Also read FIRE OR
EXPLOSION HAZARD on page 4
To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the spray-
er and all other spray equipment used or located in the
spray area. Check your local electrical code for de-
tailed grounding instructions for your area and type of
equipment. Be sure to ground all of this spray equip-
ment:
Pump or sprayer: as instructed in your separate
pump or sprayer manual.
Air compressor or hydraulic power supply: accord-
ing to local code and manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions.
Fluid hoses: use only grounded hoses with a maxi-
mum of 500 ft (150 m) combined hose length to
ensure grounding continuity.
Spray gun: obtain grounding through connection to
a properly grounded fluid hose and sprayer.
Object being sprayed: according to local code.
Fluid supply container: according to local code.
All solvent pails used when flushing, according to
local code. Use only metal pails, which are conduc-
tive. Do not place the pail on a non-conductive
surface, such as paper or cardboard, which inter-
rupts the grounding continuity.
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure, always hold a metal part of the
gun firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then
trigger the gun.
