Installation
Wall Mount Packages
1.Be sure the wall can support the weight of the pump, bracket, hoses and accessories, as well as the stress caused during operation.
2.Position the wall bracket at a convenient height. Do not stretch the suction hose tight; let it hang to assist fluid flow into the pump. For ease of operation and service, make sure the pump air inlet, fluid inlet, and fluid outlet ports are easily accessible.
3.Using the wall bracket as a template, drill mounting holes in the wall. Hole diameters and wall mounting dimensions are shown on page 40.
4.Attach the bracket to the wall. Use screws that are long enough to keep the pump from vibrating during operation.
NOTE: Be sure the bracket is level.
Grounding
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.
1.Pump: See FIG. 1. Verify that the ground wire (26) is attached to the ground screw (23), and the screw is tightened securely to the adapter plate (10). Use any of the three threaded holes in the adapter plate. Connect the other end of the ground wire to a true earth ground.

2.Air and fluid hoses: Static electricity may build up when fluids flow through pumps, hoses, and spray- ers. At least one hose must be electrically conduc- tive, with a maximum of 500 ft. (150 m) combined hose length to ensure grounding continuity. Check electrical resistance of hoses. If total resistance to ground exceeds 25 megohms, replace hose imme- diately.
3.Air compressor: follow manufacturer's recommen- dations.
4.Spray gun: ground through connection to a prop- erly grounded fluid hose and pump.
5.Fluid supply container: follow your local code.
6.Object being sprayed: follow your local code.
7.Solvent pails used when flushing: follow your local code. Use only metal pails, which are conduc- tive, placed on a grounded surface. Do not place the pail on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts the grounding continu- ity.
8.To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or relieving pressure, hold a metal part of the spray gun firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then trigger the gun.
Flush Before Using Equipment
The equipment was tested with lightweight oil, which is left in the fluid passages to protect parts. To avoid con- taminating your fluid with oil, flush the equipment with a compatible solvent before using the equipment. See Prime the Pump, page 10.
