Grounding and Electric

Requirements

Sprayer must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of static and electric shock by providing an escape wire for electrical current due to static build up or in the event of a short circuit.

•The 120 Vac sprayers require a 120 Vac, 60 Hz, 15A circuit with a grounding receptacle.

• Never use an outlet

ti5573a

that is not grounded or an adapter.

•Do not use the sprayer if the electrical cord has a damaged ground prong.

• Only use an extension cord with an undamaged 3-prong

plug.

ti5572a

Recommended extension cords for use with this sprayer:

•50 ft (15.0 m) 14 AWG (2.1 mm2)

•100 ft (30.0 m) 12 AWG (3.3 mm2)

Spray gun: ground through connection to a properly grounded fluid hose and pump.

Smaller gauge or longer extension cords may reduce sprayer performance.

Fluid supply container: follow local code. Solvent pails used when flushing: follow local code. Use only conductive metal pails, placed on a grounded surface such as concrete. Do not place the pail on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts grounding continuity.

Grounding the metal pail: connect a ground wire to the pail by clamping one end to pail and other end to ground such as a water pipe.

Maintaining grounding continuity when flushing or relieving pressure: hold metal part of the spray gun firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then

trigger the gun.
