Grounding
Grounding Procedure for
Internal Combustion
Engine
To ground sprayer: Attach sprayer
grounding clamp to earth ground.
Air and fluid hoses: Use only electrically
conductive hoses with a maximum of 500ft.
(150 m) combined hose length to ensure
grounding continuity. Check electrical
resistance of hoses. If total resistance to
ground exceeds 29 megaohms, replace hose
immediately.
Spray gun: Ground through connection to a
properly grounded fluid hose and pump.
Grounding Procedure for
Electric Motor
If using the electric motor, plug must be
plugged into an actual outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided; if it does not
fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
Power Requirements
• 110-120V units require 100-120 VAC,
50/60 Hz, 15A, 1 phase.
• 230V units require 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz,
16A, 1 phase
Extension Cords
Use an extension cord with an undamaged
ground contact. If an extension cord is
necessary, use a 3-wire, 12 AWG (2.5 mm²)
minimum.
NOTE: Smaller gauge or longer extension
cords may reduce sprayer performance.
The equipment must be grounded to
reduce the risk of static sparking. Static
sparking can cause fumes to ignite or
explode. Grounding provides an escape
wire for the electric current.
The equipment must be grounded to
reduce the risk of static sparking and
electric shock. An electric or static spark
can cause fumes to ignite or explode. An
improper ground can cause electric shock.
A good ground provides an escape wire for
the electric current.
