WARNING
For your safety, read the FIRE AND EXPLOSION
HAZARD WARNINGS on page 4, and ground
your entire system as instructed below. This sec-
tion also includes details on how to connect the
grounding wire and clamp to the various hydraulic
motors.
Proper grounding is an essential part of maintaining a
safe system.
To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the pump.
Check your local electrical code for detailed grounding
instructions for your area and type of equipment. Be
sure to ground all of this equipment:
1. Pump: use a ground wire and clamp as shown to
the right. Loosen the locknut (A) of the grounding
lug and washer. Insert one end of the wire (B) in
the grounding lug (14) and tighten the locknut
securely. See Fig. 2. Connect the other end of the
wire to a true earth ground, as recommended by
your local code. Order Part No. 237569, Ground
Wire and Clamp.
2. Hydraulic hoses and fluid outlet hoses: use only
electrically conductive hoses.
3. Hydraulic power supply and air compressor:
follow manufacturer’s recommendations.
4. Spray gun: obtain grounding through connection to
a properly grounded fluid hose and pump.
5. Fluid supply container: according to local code.
6. Object being sprayed: according to local code.
7. Any pails used when flushing: Use only metal,
grounded pails when flushing. Make firm metal-to-
metal contact between the metal part of the spray
gun and the pail. Use the lowest possible pres-
sure.
8. To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure, always hold a metal part of the
gun firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, and
then trigger the spray gun.
