Grounding
Grounding
Grounding
The equipment must be grounded to reduce the
risk of static sparking. Static sparking can cause
fumes to ignite or explode. Grounding provides an
escape wire for the electric current.
Before operating the pump, ground the system as
explained below.

bracket to a true earth ground.

hoses: Use only grounded hoses with
a maximum of 500 ft (150 m) combined hose length
to ensure grounding continuity. Check electrical
resistance of hoses. If total resistance to ground
exceeds 29 megohms, replace hose immediately.

on a grounded surface. Do not place the pail
on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or
cardboard, which interrupts grounding continuity.
Check your system electrical continuity between the
ground wire end and the pump fluid outlet after the
initial installation, and then set up a regular schedule
for checking continuity to be sure proper grounding
is maintained. The resistance should not exceed 10
ohms. Ground cable 244524 is available separately.
