WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Before operating, ground the system as
explained below. Also read the section
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD on
page 3.
To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground all the
dispensing equipment used or located in the work
area. Check you local electrical code for detailed
grounding instructions for your are and type of equip-
ment. Be sure to ground all of this equipment.
D Pump or sprayer: If using an electric sprayer, plug
the power supply cord or extension cord, each
equipped with an undamaged three-prong plug, into
a properly grounded outlet. Do not use an adapter.
All extension cords must have three wires and be
rated for 15 amps. If using another type of sprayer
or pump, ground it by connecting a grounding wire
(12 ga minimum) from the pump or sprayer’s
grounding lug to a true earth ground.
D Air compressor or hydraulic power supply: Follow
the local code.
D Fluid hoses: Use only electrically conductive hoses
with a maximum of 500 feet (150 m) combined
hose length to ensure grounding continuity.
D Spray gun: Obtain grounding through connection to
a properly grounded fluid hose and sprayer or
pump.
D Supply container: Follow the local code.
D Object being sprayed: Follow the local code.
D All solvent pails used when flushing: Follow the
local code. Use only metal pails, which are conduc-
tive. Do not place the pail on a non-conductive
surface, such as paper or cardboard, which inter-
rupts the grounding continuity.
D 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, then
trigger the gun.
