Electrical Grounding
WARNING
4.
Spray gun or dispensing valve:
Obtain grounding
throu
h connection to a properly
rounded fluid hose
and pump.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Static electricity is created by the hi
h velocity
flow of fluid throu
h the pump and hose. If your
system is not properly
rounded, sparkin
may
occur and the system may become hazardous.
To reduce the risk of static sparkin
which can
result in a fire or explosion and cause serious
injury, follow these recommendations for
providin
electrical continuity throu
hout your
system.
Also, read the WARNING section, FIRE AND
EXPLOSION HAZARD on page 4.

Fluid supply container:
according to your local code.
6.
Object being sprayed:
according to local code.

All solvent pails
used when flushing, according to local
code.
Use only metal pails
which are conductive,
placed on a positively
rounded surface. Do not place
the pail on a non-conductive surface, such as paper or
cardboard, which interrupts the grounding continuity.
8.
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure,
always hold a metal part of the gun
or dispensin
valve firmly to the side of a
rounded
metal pail, then trigger the gun.

round. Order a
Groundin
Clamp, P/N 103538, and a Groundin
Wire,
P/N 208950, (25 feet (7.6 m) long, 12 ga.).
2.
Air and fluid hoses:
Use only electrically conductive
hoses with a maximum of 500 feet (150 m) combined
hose length to ensure grounding continuity.
3.
Air compressor:
follow the air compressor
manufacturer’s recommendations
