Grounding
The equipment must be grounded to reduce the
risk of static sparking. Static sparking can cause
fumes to ignite or explode. To reduce the risk
of static sparking, the mounting cover and all
electrically conductive objects or devices in the
spray area must be properly grounded.
A ground wire and clamp are included with the tank.
• To ground the agitator, connect one end of the
ground wire (GW) to the ground connector (77) on
agitator drive guard (74). Connect the other end of
the ground wire to a true earth ground.
• To ground the pressure tank, connect one end of
a 12 awg (1.5 mm
2
) minimum ground wire to the
pressure tank and the other end of the wire to a
true earth ground.
