Grounding

WARNING

Fire, Explosion, and Electric Shock Hazard

When operating the electrostatic gun, any ungrounded objects in the spray area (peo- ple, containers, tools, etc.) can become electrically charged. Improper grounding can result in static sparking, which can cause a fire, explosion, or electric shock. Follow the grounding instructions below.

The following are minimum grounding requirements for a basic electrostatic system. Your system may include other equipment or objects which must be grounded.

Check your local electrical code for detailed grounding instructions. Your system must be connected to a true earth ground.

Pump: ground the pump by connecting a ground wire and clamp as described in your separate pump instruction manual.

Electrostatic Air-Assisted Spray Gun: ground the gun by connecting the Graco Grounded Air Hose to the turbine air inlet and connecting the air hose ground wire to a true earth ground. See Check Electrical Grounding, page 16.

Installation

Air compressors and hydraulic power supplies: ground the equipment according to the manufac- turer's recommendations.

All air and fluid lines must be properly grounded.

All electrical cables must be properly grounded.

All persons entering the spray area: shoes must have conductive soles, such as leather, or personal grounding straps must be worn. Do not wear shoes with non-conductive soles such as rubber or plastic.

Object being sprayed: keep the workpiece hangers clean and grounded at all times. Resistance must not exceed 1 megohm.

The floor of the spray area: must be electrically con- ductive and grounded. Do not cover the floor with cardboard or any non-conductive material which would interrupt grounding continuity.

Flammable liquids in the spray area: must be kept in approved, grounded containers. Do not use plastic containers. Do not store more than the quantity needed for one shift.
