9.4 Equipotential bonding and earthing
► Before starting up, an equipotential bonding must be established between the pump, the container
tobeemptiedandthecontainertobelled(→Fig.6).

the pump and the container to be emptied. For better conductivity, remove the paint and dirt from the
clamping points.
