Grounding and Electric Requirements

Grounding and Electric Requirements
Sprayer must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk
of static and electric shock by providing an escape wire
for electrical current due to static build up or in the event
of a short circuit.
• The 240 VAC sprayers
require a 220-240 VAC,
50/60 Hz, 10A circuit with a
grounding receptacle.
• Never use an outlet that is
not grounded.
• Do not use sprayer if electri-
cal cord has damaged ground prong.
• Only use an extension cord with an undamaged
3-prong plug.
Recommended extension cords for use with this
sprayer:
• 15 m (49.2 ft) 1.0 mm
2
• 30 m (98.4 ft) 1.5 mm
2
• 50 m (164.0 ft) 2.5 mm

NOTE: Smaller gauge or longer extension cords
may reduce sprayer performance.
Spray gun
: ground through connection to a properly
grounded fluid hose and pump.
Fluid supply container:
follow local code.
Solvent pails used when flushing
: follow local code.
Use only conductive metal pails, placed on a grounded
surface such as concrete. Do not place the pail on a
nonconductive surface, such as paper or cardboard,
which interrupts grounding continuity.
Grounding the metal pail
: con-
nect a ground wire to the pail by
clamping one end to pail and other
end to ground such as a water
pipe.
Maintaining grounding continu-
ity when flushing or relieving pres-
sure: hold metal part of the spray
gun firmly to the side of the
grounded metal pail, then trigger
the gun.
Thermal Overload
Motor has a thermal overload switch to shut itself down
if overheated. If unit overheats, allow approximately 45
minutes for unit to cool. Once cool, switch will close and
unit will restart.

To reduce risk of injury from motor starting unexpect-
edly when it cools, always turn power switch OFF if
motor shuts down.
