Installation
Grounding
Pump:
use a ground wire and clamp (not included). See
F
IG
. 2. Remove the green ground screw (Z) from the
bottom of the air motor. Insert the screw through the
loop on the end of the ground wire (Y) and reattach the
screw to the air motor. Connect the ground clamp to a
true earth ground. Order Part No. 244524, Ground Wire
and Clamp.
Air and fluid hoses:
use only electrically conductive
hoses
with a maximum of 500 ft. (150 m) combined
hose length to ensure grounding continuity. Check the
electrical resistance of hoses. If the total resistance to
ground exceeds 25 megohms, replace hose immedi-
ately.
Air compressor:
follow manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions.
Surge tank:
use a ground wire and clamp.
Dispense valve:
ground through a connection to a
properly grounded fluid hose and pump.
Fluid supply container:
follow local code.
Object being sprayed:
follow local code.
Solvent pails used when flushing:
follow local code.
Use only conductive metal pails, placed on a grounded
surface. Do not place the pail on a non-conductive sur-
face, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts
grounding continuity.
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure:
hold metal part of the spray gun or
valve firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, and
then trigger the gun or open the valve.
Mounting
The pump can be mounted using one of the following
options:
•
Stand mount: Kit 253692
•
Wall mount: Kit 255143
•
Floor mount:
•
Kit 19Y313—Complete kit
•
Kit 19Y286—Plate for mounting to an existing
floor mount
Pump Mounting Kits manual 311619 describes the
mount parts and how to install each.
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.
