Installation

Grounding

Proper grounding is an essential part of maintaining a safe system.

To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the pump. Check your local electrical code for detailed grounding instructions for your area and type of equipment. Be sure to ground all of this equipment:

DPump: Use a ground wire and clamp as shown in Fig. 1.

DAir compressor: Follow manufacturer’s recommen- dations.

DObject being sprayed: Follow your local code.

DAll solvent pails used when flushing or relieving pressure, always hold a metal part of the gun firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then trigger the gun.

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

To ground the pump:

1.UL–Listed Pumps: Use a ground wire, connector,

and clamp. See Fig. 1. Loosen screw (X). Insert one exposed end of a 12 ga (1.5 mm2) minimum ground wire (Y) through the eye of the ground terminal connector (W) and tighten screw (X) securely. Connect the other end of the wire to a true earth ground. Order Part No. 237569 Ground Wire and Clamp.

2.Non UL–Listed Pumps: See Fig. 1. Remove the ground screw (Z). Fasten the ground connector

(W) onto the pump with the ground screw (Z) and

tighten securely. Loosen screw (X). Insert one exposed end of a 12 ga (1.5 mm2) minimum ground wire (Y) through the eye of the ground terminal connector (W) and tighten screw (X) securely. Connect the other end of the wire to a true earth ground. Order Part No. 222011 Ground Connector/Wire and Clamp.

Operation

Pressure Relief Procedure

WARNING

INJECTION HAZARD

The system pressure must be manually relieved to prevent the system from starting or spraying accidentally. Fluid

under high pressure can be injected through the skin and cause serious injury. To reduce the risk of an injury from injection, splashing fluid, or moving parts, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever you:

Dare instructed to relieve the pressure,

Dstop spraying/dispensing,

Dcheck or service any of the system equipment,

Dor install or clean the spray tips or nozzles.

1.Shut off the air to the pump.

2.Close the bleed-type master air valve (required in your system).

3.Hold a metal part of the gun to the side of a grounded metal pail and trigger the gun to relieve pressure.

4.Open the fluid drain valve (required in your sys- tem), having a container ready to catch the drain- age.

5.Leave the drain valve open until you are ready to spray/dispense again.

If you suspect that the spray tip/nozzle or hose is clogged or that fluid pressure is not fully relieved after following the steps above, very slowly loosen the tip guard retaining nut or hose end coupling and relieve pressure gradually. Clear the tip or hose obstruction.
