Grounding
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.
•
Reactor System:
System must be grounded with
an appropriately sized conductor to the trailer
or vehicle chassis or, if stationary, to true earth
ground. Remove bolt and braided cable from
pallet. Install grounding cable terminated with a
ring terminal (cable and terminal not supplied)
under braided cable. Reinstall bolt and torque
to minimum 25 ft-lbs (34 N∙m). An alternate
grounding location is to the ground bar in the
electrical enclosure. Follow all National, State, and
Local safety and fire codes.
•
Spray gun:
connect whip hose ground wire to FTS.
See
Install Fluid Temperature Sensor, page 43
.
Do not disconnect ground wire or spray without
whip hose.
•
Fluid supply containers:
follow your local code.
•
Object being sprayed:
follow your local code.
•
Solvent pails used when flushing:
follow your local
code. Use only metal pails, which are conductive,
placed on a grounded surface. Do not place pail
on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or
cardboard, which interrupts grounding continuity.
•
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure,
hold a metal part of spray gun
firmly to the side of a grounded
metal
pail, then
trigger gun.
