Check Electrical Grounding
1.
Have a qualified electrician check the electrical 
grounding continuity of the spray gun and air hose.
2.
Turn the ES ON/OFF valve OFF. 
3.
Turn off the air and fluid supply to the gun. The fluid 
hose must not have any fluid in it.
4.
Make sure the grounded air hose (R) is connected 
and the hose ground wire is connected to a true 
earth ground.
5.
Measure the resistance between the gun handle 
(BB) and a true earth ground (CC). Use an applied 
voltage of 500 minimum to 1000 volts maximum. 
The resistance should not exceed 1 megohm. See 
F
IG
. 7.
6.
If the resistance is greater than 1 megohm, check 
the tightness of the ground connections and be sure 
the air hose ground wire is connected to a true earth 
ground. If the resistance is still too high, replace the 
air hose.

Check Fluid Resistivity
Graco Part No. 722886 Resistance Meter and 722860 
Probe are available as accessories to check that the 
resistivity of the fluid being sprayed meets the require-
ments of an electrostatic air spray system.
Follow the instructions included with the meter and 
probe. If the material is above 1 megohm-cm, then a Pro 
Xs3 HC gun may be a better option. The Pro Xs WB gun 
is intended to spray very conductive waterborne materi-
als and other materials less than 1 megohm-cm.
Fire, Explosion, and Electric Shock Hazard
Megohmmeter Part No. 241079 (AA-see F
IG
. 7.) is not 
approved for use in a hazardous area. To reduce the 
risk of sparking, do not use the megohmmeter to 
check electrical grounding unless: 
• The gun has been removed from the hazardous 
area;
• Or all spraying devices in the hazardous area are 
turned off, ventilation fans in the hazardous area are 
operating, and there are no flammable vapors in the 
area (such as open solvent containers or fumes 
from spraying).
Failure to follow this warning could cause fire, explo-
sion, and electric shock and result in serious injury 
and property damage.

Fire, Explosion, and Electric Shock Hazard
Check the fluid resistivity in a non-hazardous area 
only. Resistance Meter 722886 and Probe 722860 are 
not approved for use in a hazardous area. 
Failure to follow this warning could cause fire, explo-
sion, or electric shock and result in serious injury and 
property damage.
