Attach a lifting sling at the proper lift spots. Lift off the pallet using a crane or a forklift.

Position the ram so the air controls are easily accessi- ble. Ensure that there is enough space overhead for the ram to raise fully. See Dimensions, page 31.

Set the brake on the cart before using the system.

Model 16P957 only: Using the holes in the ram base as a guide, drill holes for 1/2 in. (13 mm) anchors.

Model 16P957 only: Ensure that the ram base is level in all directions. If necessary, level the base using metal shims. Secure the base to the floor using 1/2 in. (13

mm)anchors that are long enough to prevent the ram from tipping.

The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk of static sparking. Static sparking can cause fumes to ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape wire for the electric current.

Pump: use the supplied ground wire and clamp. Con- nect other end of wire to a true earth ground. See FIG. 5.

Air and fluid hoses: use only electrically conductive hoses with a maximum of 500 ft. (150 m) combined hose length to ensure grounding continuity. Check elec- trical resistance of hoses. If total resistance to ground exceeds 25 megohms, replace hose immediately.

Air compressor: follow manufacturer’s recommenda- tions.

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

Fluid supply container: follow local code.

Object being sprayed: follow local code.

Solvent pails used when flushing: follow local code. Use only conductive metal pails that are properly grounded.

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