RepairRepairGroundingThe equipment must be grounded. Grounding reducesthe risk of static and electric shock by providing anescape wire for the electrical current due to static buildup or in the event of a short circuit.Pump: use a ground wire and clamp. Remove the greenground screw (Z) from the bottom of the air motor. Insertthe screw through the loop on the end of the ground wire(Y) and reattach the screw to the air motor. Connect theground clamp to a true earth ground. See FIG. 1.Fluid supply container: follow local code.Object being sprayed: follow local code.Solvent pails used when flushing: follow local code.Use only conductive metal pails, placed on a groundedsurface. Do not place the pail on a nonconductive surface,such as paper or cardboard, which interruptsgrounding continuity.To maintain grounding continuity when flushing orrelieving pressure: hold metal part of the spray gunfirmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then triggerthe gun.Pressure Relief ProcedureZY1. Engage trigger lock.2. Air-Powered Pumps only: Close the bleed-typemaster air valve.Hydraulic-Powered Pumps only: Close the hydraulicsupply line valve first, then the return line valve.FIG. 1TI8250aAir and fluid hoses: use only electrically conductivehoses with a maximum of 500 ft. (150 m) combinedhose length to ensure grounding continuity. Check theelectrical resistance of hoses. If total resistance toground exceeds 29 megohms, replace hose immediately.Air compressor: follow manufacturer’s recommendations.Hydraulic power supply: follow manufacturer’s recommendations.3. Disengage the trigger lock.4. Hold a metal part of the gun firmly to a groundedmetal pail. Trigger the gun to relieve pressure.5. Engage the trigger lock.6. Open all fluid drain valves in the system, having awaste container ready to catch drainage. Leavedrain valve(s) open until you are ready to sprayagain.7. If you suspect the spray tip or hose is clogged orthat pressure has not been fully relieved after followingthe steps above, VERY SLOWLY loosen tipguard retaining nut or hose end coupling to relieveSurge tank: use a ground wire and clamp.Spray gun: ground through a connection to a properlygrounded fluid hose and pump.6 311832D
