Air and fluid hoses: Use only grounded hoses with a maximum of 500 ft (150 m) combined hose length to ensure grounding continuity.

Air compressor: Follow manufacturer’s recommendations.

Fluid supply container: Follow your local code.

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

Check your system electrical continuity after the initial installation, and then set up a regular schedule for checking continuity to be sure proper grounding is maintained.

1.Install an air filter/regulator (C). An air line filter removes harmful dirt and moisture from the compressed air supply. Use the regulator and

gauge to control the fluid pressure. The fluid stall pressure will be the same as the setting of the air regulator.

2.Locate a bleed-type master air valve (B) close to the pump and use it to relieve trapped air. Be sure the valve is easily accessible from the pump and located downstream from the regulator.

Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle unexpectedly, which could result in serious injury from splashing.

3.Locate another master air valve (E) upstream from all air line accessories and use it to isolate them during cleaning and repair.

4.An adjustable inlet air valve or needle valve (G) my be installed for pump speed control.

5.Install a grounded, flexible air hose (A) between the accessories and the 3/4 npt(f) pump air inlet

(D). Use a minimum 5/8 in. (16 mm) ID air hose.
