Installation
Grounding (continued)
To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the pump and
all other equipment used or located in the pumping area.
Check your local electrical code for detailed grounding
instructions for your area and type of equipment.
Ground all of this equipment:
•
Air Motor: Connect a ground wire and clamp as shown
in F
. 1. Loosen the grounding screw (W). Insert one
end of a 1.5 mm
2
minimum ground wire (Y) behind the
grounding screw and tighten the screw securely.
Connect the clamp end of the ground wire to a true
earth ground. Order Part No. 819.0157 Ground Wire
and Clamp.
NOTE: When pumping conductive flammable fluids with a
non–conductive polypropylene or a PVDF pump,
always ground the entire fluid system. See the
Warning on page 6.
•
Air and Fluid hoses: Use only electrically conductive
hoses.
•
Air compressor: Follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
•
All solvent pails used when flushing, according to local
code. Use only metal pails, which are conductive. Do
not place the pail on a non-conductive surface, such as
paper or cardboard, which interrupts the grounding
continuity.
•
Fluid supply container: Follow local code.
