2.Air compressor: according to manufacturer’s recom- mendations.

3.Fluid hoses: use only grounded hoses with a maxi- mum of 300 ft (91 m) combined hose length to ensure grounding continuity. Refer to Hose Ground- ing Continuity.

4.Dispensing valve: grounding is obtained through connection to a properly grounded fluid hose and pump.

5.Object being sprayed: according to local code.

6.Fluid supply container: according to local code.

7.All solvent pails used when flushing, according to local code. Use only metal pails, which are conduc- tive. Do not place the pail on a non–conductive sur- face, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts the grounding continuity.
