Install Air Fittings
1.
Install the supplied 1/4 in. (6 mm) tube fitting into the
cylinder (CYL) air port.
2.
Install 3/8 in. (8 mm) tube fittings into the atomiza-
tion (ATOM) air port and the fan (FAN) air port.
Grounding
The following grounding instructions are minimum
requirements for a system. Your system may include
other equipment or objects that must be grounded.
Check your local electrical code for detailed grounding
instructions for your area and type of equipment. Your
system must be connected to a true earth ground.
Spray Gun: Ground the spray gun by mounting it to a
grounded mount, such as a reciprocator, robot, or
stationary support, and connect it to a properly
grounded fluid hose and pump.
Pump: Ground the pump by connecting a ground wire
and clamp between the pump and a true earth ground
as instructed in your separate pump instruction manual.
Air Compressors and Hydraulic Power Supplies:
Ground air compressors and hydraulic power supplies
according to the manufacturer recommendations.
Air, Fluid, and Hydraulic Hoses Connected To
Pump: Use only electrically conductive hoses with a
maximum of 100 ft (30.5 m) combined hose length to
ensure grounding continuity. Check the electrical
resistance of your air and fluid hoses at least once a
week. If the total resistance to ground exceeds 25
megohms, replace the hose immediately. Use a meter
that is capable of measuring resistance at this level.
Fluid Supply Container: Ground the fluid supply
container according to local code.
Object Being Sprayed: Ground the object that is being
sprayed according to local code.
Solvent Pails: Ground all solvent pails that are 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.

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.
