Grounding Procedure
(For Flammable Materials Only)
1. Position striper so that the tires are not on pave-
ment.
2. Striper is shipped with a grounding clamp. Ground-
ing clap must attach to grounded object. (e.g. metal
sign post).
Pails
Solvent and oil-based fluids:
follow local code. Use
only conductive metal pails, placed on a grounded
surface such as concrete.
Do not place pail on a non-conductive surface such as
paper or cardboard which interrupts grounding continuity.
Always ground a metal pail:
connect a ground wire to
the pail. Clamp one end to the pail and the other end to
a true earth ground such as a water pipe.
To maintain ground continuity when sprayer is
flushed or pressure is relieved:
hold metal part of spray
gun firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail then trigger
the gun.
This 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.
