WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Improper grounding could cause static
sparking, which could cause a fire or
explosion. To reduce the risk of property
damage or serious injury, follow the
grounding instructions below.
The following grounding instructions are minimum
requirements for a system. Your system 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.
1. Pump:
a. Loosen the grounding lug locknut (BB) and
washer (AA).
b. Insert one end of a 14 ga. (1.5 mm@) minimum
ground wire (G) into the slot in lug (CC) and
tighten the locknut securely. See Fig. 3.
c. Connect the other end of the ground wire to a
true earth ground. Order part number 237569

2. Air hoses: use only grounded hoses with a maxi-
mum of 500 feet (150 m) combined hose length to
ensure grounding continuity.
3. Fluid hoses: use only grounded fluid hoses.
4. Air compressor: follow manufacturer’s recom-
mendations.
5. Spray gun or dispensing valve: grounding is
obtained through connection to a properly
grounded fluid hose and pump.
6. Fluid supply container: according to local code.
7. Object being sprayed: according to your local
code.
8. All solvent pails used when flushing, according
to local code. Use only metal pails, which are con-
ductive, placed on a grounded surface. Do not place
the pail on a nonconductive surface, such as paper
or cardboard, which interrupts the grounding continu-
ity.
9. To maintain grounding continuity when flush-
ing or relieving pressure, always hold a metal
part of the dispensing unit firmly to the side of a
grounded metal pail, then trigger the dispensing
unit.
