Installation
General Information
Check your system electrical continuity after the initial
installation, and then set up a regular schedule for
checking continuity to be sure proper grounding is
maintained.
To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the pump and
all other equipment used or located in the pumping area.
Check your local electrical code for detailed grounding and
bonding instructions for your area and type of equipment.
Ground and bond all of this equipment:
• Pump: attach a ground wire (Y) to the grounding strip
(111) with the screw (121), lockwasher (122) and nut
(123), as shown in Fig. 1, and per code. Connect the
clamp end of the ground wire to a true earth ground.
Order Part No. 222011 Ground Wire and Clamp.
Fig. 1
• Air and fluid hoses: use only electrically conductive
hoses.
• Air compressor: follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
• Suction device nozzle: must be bonded to metal
container from which it is suctioning by firm metal-to-
metal contact to a properly grounded suction hose
and pump.
• Piping, valves and fittings: use only electrically
conductive materials. Bond and ground per code.
• Solvent pails used when flushing: follow your local
code. Use only metal pails, which are conductive. Do
not place the pail on a non-conductive surface, such
as paper or cardboard, which interrupts the grounding
continuity.
• Waste storage tank: follow your local code.
WARNING
