2.Air and fluid hoses: use only electrically conductive hoses.

3.Air compressor: follow manufacturer’s recommen- dations.

4.Spray gun: ground through connection to a proper- ly grounded fluid hose and pump.

5.Fluid supply container: follow your local code.

6.Object being sprayed: follow your local code.

7.Solvent pails used when flushing: follow your local code. Use only metal pails, which are conductive, placed on a grounded surface. Do not place the pail on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts the grounding continu- ity.

8.To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or relieving pressure, hold a metal part of the spray gun firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then trigger the gun.

Mounting the Pump

Mount the pump to suit the type of installation planned. The pump dimensions and mounting hole layout are shown on page 24.

If the pump is immersed, be sure the pump intake is 1/2 in. (13 mm) off the bottom of the fluid container.

If the pump is mounted on the wall or on a stand, connect a suction line to the pump’s 3/4 in. npt(f) fluid inlet and place the other end of the line in the fluid container.
