1.1 Pump and component grounding procedures
Always use the following procedures for grounding the pump. Loosen the lock screw to allow
insertion of one end of a minimum size 12 gauge wire into the bore hole of the grounding lug.
Insert wire and tighen the lock screw securely. Secure the other end of the ground to a true earth
ground. Grounding of the pump and all components is necessary to minimize the possibility of
sparks due to static electricity. Grounding must be in compliance with local electrical codes.
Check with the local authorities for requirements in your area and with the type of equipment
being used.
Figure A
Ensure that all the following equipment is grounded correctly:
1. Air compressor: Follow the grounding procedures as recommended by the
compressor manufacturer
2. Air hoses: Always use grounded air houses.
3. Fluid container used
to supply the system:
Grounding must be done according to local electrical codes.
4. Pump: Follow the procedures referred to in Figure A (page 6).
5. Fluid Hoses: Always use grounded fluid hoses.
6. Dispensing Valve: The valve must be metal to conduct through the fluid hose to the
pump which must be properly grounded.
7. Dispensing Point: Grounding must be done according to local electrical codes.
8. Solvent Containers
use only metal:
Grounding must be done according to local electrical codes.
Conductive pails that are properly grounded.
9. Grounding while
dispensing, cleaning
or relieving pressure:
