Grounding and Electric Requirements
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 spray- ers require a 120 Vac, 60 Hz, 15A cir- cuit with a ground- ing receptacle.
• Never use an outlet | ti5573a |
that is not grounded or an adapter.
•Do not use the sprayer if the electrical cord has a dam- aged ground prong.
• Only use an extension cord with an undamaged
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 prop- erly grounded fluid hose and pump.
NOTE: Smaller gauge or longer extension cords may reduce sprayer performance.
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 con- tinuity 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.

Thermal Overload
Motor has a thermal overload switch to shut itself down if overheated. If unit overheats, allow approx- imately 45 minutes for unit to cool. Once cool, switch will close and unit will restart.
To reduce risk of injury from motor starting unex- pectedly when it cools, always turn power switch OFF if motor shuts down.
Fluid supply container: follow local code.
