Installation
Electrical Grounding contrinued from page 6.
3.
Use only electrically conductive
fluid hoses
with a
maximum of 500 feet (150 m) combined hose
length to ensure grounding continuity
.
4.
Obtain electrical grounding continuity for the
spray
gun
by connecting it to a properly grounding fluid
hose and pump or sprayer
.
5.
Provide electrical grounding for these components
according to the local code: the
fluid supply
container
, the
object being sprayed,
and
all of
the solvent pails used when flushing.
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 continu
-
ity.
6. To maintain grounding continuity when flush-
ing or relieving pressure
,
always hold a metal
part of the gun firmly to the side of a
grounded
metal pail, then trigger the gun.
