Installation
General Information
Accessories are available from Graco. Make certain all
accessories are adequately sized and pressure-rated to
meet the system’s requirements.
NOTE:
Platens are not provided with the Electric Supply
Systems and must be purchased separately. See
Platen Options
on page 47 for compatible platen infor
-
mation.
F
IG
. 1 is only a guide for selecting and installing system
components and accessories. Contact your Graco dis
-
tributor for assistance in designing a system to suit your
particular needs.
Location
Attach a lifting sling at the proper lift spots. Lift off the
pallet using a crane or a forklift.
Position the ram so the driver and air controls are easily
accessible. Ensure that there is enough space overhead
for the ram to raise fully. (See
Dimensions,
page 49.)
Using the holes in the ram base as a guide, drill holes
for 1/2 in. (13 mm) anchors.
Ensure that the ram base is level in all directions. If nec
-
essary, level the base using metal shims. Secure the
base to the floor using 1/2 in. (13 mm) anchors that are
long enough to prevent the ram from tipping.
Grounding
Electric Pump:
The system is grounded through the
power cord.
NOTE:
The grounding lug locknut (GL) can be used for
additional grounding connections such as in spray appli
-
cations where a ground cable could be connected
between the electric driver and a metal bucket when
flushing a gun into the bucket.
Air and fluid hoses:
use only electrically conductive
hoses with a maximum of 500 ft. (150 m) combined
hose length to ensure grounding continuity. Check the
electrical resistance of the hoses. If the total resistance
to ground exceeds 29 megohms, replace the hose
immediately.
Air compressor:
follow manufacturer’s recommenda
-
tions.
Spray gun/dispense valve:
ground through connection
to a properly grounded fluid hose and pump.
Driver:
The driver is grounded through the power cord.
Fluid supply container:
follow local code.
Object being sprayed:
follow local code.
Solvent pails used when flushing:
follow local code.
Use only conductive metal pails, placed on a grounded
surface. Do not place the pail on a non-conductive sur
-
face, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts the
grounding continuity.
All electrical wiring must be done by a qualified elec
-
trician and comply with all local codes and regula
-
tions.
NOTICE
Always lift the supply system at the proper lift locations
(see F
IG
. 1). Do
not
lift in any other way. Failure to lift
at the proper lift locations can result in damage to the
supply system.
The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk
of static sparking and electric shock. Electric or static
sparking can cause fumes to ignite or explode.
Improper grounding can cause electric shock.
Grounding provides an escape wire for the electric
current.
