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 spray- ers require a 120 Vac, 60 Hz, 15A cir- cuit with a ground-
Installation
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 con- crete. 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 ground- ing continuity when flushing or relieving pressure: hold metal part of the spray gun
firmly to the side of a
ing receptacle. The
230 Vac ModelWLD
247328 requires
grounded metal pail, then trigger the gun.
TIA
230 Vac, 50 Hz, 10A with a grounding recepta- cle, 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
plug. Recommended exten-
WLD
sion cords for use with this sprayer:
•25 ft (7.6 m) 18 AWG (1.0 mm2)
•50 ft (15.2 m) 16 AWG (1.0 mm2)
•100 ft (30.5 m) 14 AWG (1.5 mm2)
•150 ft (45.7 m) 12 AWG (2.5 mm2)
Spray gun: ground through connection to a properly grounded fluid hose and pump.
Smaller gauge or longer extension cords may reduce sprayer performance.
Thermal Overload
Motor has a thermal overload switch to shut itself down if overheated.
To reduce risk of injury from motor starting unex- pectedly when it cools, always turn power switch OFF if motor shuts down.
