Grounding
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 Spray Gun: ground the gun by con-
necting the Graco Grounded Air Hose and connect-
ing the air hose ground wire to a true earth ground. 
See Check Electrical Grounding, page 15.
Air compressors: ground the equipment according 
to the manufacturer's recommendations. 
All air and fluid lines must be properly grounded. 
Use only grounded hoses with a maximum of 100 
feet (30.5 m) combined hose length to ensure 
grounding continuity.
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. 
If gloves are necessary, wear the conductive gloves 
that are supplied with the gun. If non-Graco gloves 
are worn, cut off fingers or palm area of gloves to 
ensure your hand contacts the grounded gun han-
dle.
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. 
All electrically conductive objects or devices in the 
spray area:
 including fluid containers and wash 
cans, must be properly grounded.
Fire, Explosion, and Electric Shock Hazard
When operating the electrostatic gun, any ungrounded 
objects in the spray area (people, 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.
