Grounding
To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the pump.
CHECK your local electrical code for detailed grounding
instructions for your area and type of equipment. BE Y
SURE to ground all of this spray equipment:
1. Pump: use a ground wire and clamp as shown to the X

right.
2. Air and Fluid hoses: use only grounded hoses.
3. Air compressor: follow manufacturer ’s recommen-
dations.
4. Fluid supply container: according to local code.
IMPORTANT
United States Government safety standards have been adopted under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. These
standards––particularly the General Standards, Part 1910––should be consulted.
