Grounding Instructions
(Oil-Based and Flammable Materials)
The sprayer is equipped with a grounding
wire and clamp. The clamp must be
connected to a true earth ground when
spraying or flushing oil-based or flammable
materials.
A water pipe can be used as a true earth
ground. Connect the grounding wire and
clamp to a metal water pipe.
A properly grounded electrical outlet can also
be used as a true earth ground. Use the
provided outlet adapter.
Plug the adapter in to a grounded outlet.
Connect the grounding wire and clamp to the
metal stud on the adapter. If the ground wire
is not long enough to reach a grounded
electrical outlet, use a 3-wire grounded
extension cord between the adapter and
outlet.
Fluid hoses:
Use only electrically conductive
hoses with a maximum of 300 ft. (91 m)
combined hose length to ensure grounding
continuity.
Spray gun:
Grounded through connection to
a properly grounded fluid hose and pump.
The equipment must be grounded to reduce
the risk of static sparking. A static spark can
cause fumes to ignite or explode causing
serious injury. A good ground provides an
escape wire for the electric current.
