Grounding

WARNING

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Before operating the pump, ground the
system as explained below. Also read
the section

 FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZ-

ARD on page 4.

1.

Pump: use a ground wire and clamp as shown in
Fig. 1. Loosen the grounding lug locknut (W) and
washer (X). Insert one end of a 12 ga (1.5 mm

)

minimum ground wire (Y) into the slot in lug (Z)
and tighten the locknut securely. Connect the other
end of the wire to a true earth ground. Order part
number 222–011 Grounding Clamp and Wire.

2.

Air and fluid hoses: use only electrically conductive
hoses.

3.

Air compressor: follow manufacturer’s recommen-
dations.

4.

Spray gun or dispensing valve: ground through
connection 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.

Solvent pails used when flushing: follow your local
code. Use only metal pails, which are conductive,
placed on a grounded surface. Do not place the
pail on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or
cardboard, which interrupts the grounding continu-
ity.

8.

To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure, hold a metal part of the spray
gun firmly to the side of a grounded 

metal pail,

then trigger the gun.
