Grounding
The following grounding instructions are minimum
requirements for a basic dispensing system. Your sys-
tem may include other equipment or objects which 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.
• Pump: ground the pump by connecting ground wire
and clamp as described in your separate pump
instruction manual.
• Air compressors and hydraulic power supplies:
ground the equipment according to the manufac-
turer's recommendations.
• Fluid hoses: use only grounded fluid hoses with a
maximum of 500 feet (150 m) combined hose length
to ensure grounding continuity. Check the electrical
resistance of your fluid hoses at least once a week.
If your hose does not have a tag on it which speci-
fies the maximum electrical resistance, contact the
hose supplier or manufacturer for the maximum
electrical resistance limits, replace the hose immedi-
ately.
• Dispensing valve: ground the valve by connecting
it to a properly grounded fluid hose and pump.
• Fluid supply container: ground according to your
local code.
• Flammable liquids in the dispense area: must be
in approved, grounded containers. Do not store
more than the quantity needed for one shift.
• All solvent pails used when flushing: ground
according to local code. Use only metal pails, which
are conductive. Do not place the pail on a non-con-
ductive surface, such as paper or cardboard, which
interrupts the grounding continuity.
• To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure, hold a metal part of the valve
firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then trig-
ger the valve.
How to Use the Valve Trigger
Safety
1. If you are using one of the hand-held versions of the
valve, lock the valve trigger safety by turning the
latch to a right angle with the gun body. See F
IG. 3.
2. To unlock the valve trigger safety turn it parallel with
the gun body.
