Grounding
Proper grounding is an essential part of maintaining a
safe system.
To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the pump.
Check your local electrical code for detailed grounding
instructions for your area and type of equipment. Be
sure to ground all of this equipment:
1.
Pump: use a ground wire and clamp as shown
below.
2.
Air and fluid hoses: use only electrically conductive
hoses with a maximum 500 ft (150 m) combined
hose length to ensure grounding continuity.
3.
Air compressor: follow manufacturer’s recommen-
dations.
4.
Spray gun: grounding is obtained through connec-
tion to a properly grounded fluid hose and pump.
5.
Object being sprayed: follow your local code.
6.
Fluid supply container: follow your local code.
7.
All solvent pails used 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.
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure, always hold a metal part of the
spray gun firmly to the side of a grounded metal
pail, then trigger the spray gun.
