8. Solvent Containers: Grounding must be done according to local codes. Use
metal conductive pails that are properly grounded.
9. Grounding while Maintain conductivity by firmly holding the metal part of the
dispensing, cleaning, dispensing valve to the side of a grounded metal container.

Grounding the Pump:
Follow these procedures for grounding the pump. Loosen the lock screw (W) to allow insertion
of one end of a 12 ga. (1.5 mm
2
) minimum size wire into the hole in the side of the lug (Z).
Insert the wire (Y) and tighten the lock screw securely. The other end of the ground wire must
be secured to a true earth ground.
Hose Grounding
:
It is very important that the hoses used for both air and the fluid be a grounding type and that
this ground continuity is maintained. Regular checks of the hose ground resistance (with a
resistance meter using a suitable range) and a comparison to the Manufacturer’s Specification
will ensure the ground is within specifications. If it is not within specified limits it should be
replaced immediately.
Solvent Cleaning:
While cleaning the system with solvent, hold the metal part of the dispensing valve in contact
with a grounded metal pail to minimize the possibility of splashing fluid on the skin or in the
eyes or static sparks. Use low fluid pressure for additional safety.
Hazards From Moving Parts
:
Use the Pressure Relief Procedure (page 9) to prevent the pump from starting unintentionally
when not desired. Please observe that moving parts present a pinching hazard to fingers or
other body parts. Always stay clear of moving parts when starting or operating the pump.
Safety Standards
:
Safety standards have been established by the United States Government under the
Occupational Safety and Health Act. These standards should be consulted as they apply to the
hazards and type of equipment being used.
