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 sprayers require a 120 Vac, 60 Hz, 15A circuit with a grounding receptacle.

WLD

Never use an outlet that is not grounded or an adapter.

Do not use the sprayer if the electrical cord has a damaged ground prong.

• Only use an extension cord with an undamaged 3-prong plug.

WLD

Recommended extension cords for use with this sprayer:

Installation

50 ft (15.0 m) 16 AWG (1.0 mm2)

100 ft (30.0 m) 14 AWG (1.5 mm2)

Smaller gauge or longer extension cords may reduce sprayer performance.

Spray gun: ground through connection to a prop- erly grounded fluid hose and pump.

Fluid supply container: follow local code.

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

 

continuity when flush-

 

ing or relieving pres-

 

sure: 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 the risk of injury from motor starting unexpectedly when it cools, always turn power switch OFF if motor shuts down.
