Grounding (All Pumps)
The equipment must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of static and electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current due to static build up or in the event of a short circuit.
Pump: use the ground wire and clamp supplied. Remove the ground screw

FIG. 1. Ground Wire
Air and fluid hoses: use only electrically conductive hoses.
Air compressor: follow manufacturer's recommenda- tions.
Dispense valve: ground through connection to a prop- erly grounded fluid hose and pump.
Fluid supply container: follow your local code.
Object being sprayed: follow your local code.
Solvent pails used when flushing: follow local code. Use only conductive metal pails, placed on a grounded surface. Do not place the pail on a nonconductive sur- face, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts grounding continuity.
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.
Location
When selecting the location for the pump, keep the fol- lowing in mind:
•There must be sufficient space on all sides of the pump for installation, operator access, repair, and air circulation. See Dimensions, page 18.
•Ensure that the floor stand (2) is level in all direc- tions. If necessary, level the stand using metal shims. Secure the stand to the floor using 1/2 in. (13 mm) anchors that are long enough to prevent the pump from tipping. See Dimensions, page 18, for mounting hole layout.
