Mounting the Pump
Select a location that allows the operator easy 
access to the pump and air controls, sufficient room 
to change supply containers, and a secure
mounting platform.
If you are mounting the pump directly on the supply 
container, be sure it is positioned so the pump’s 
intake tube is no more than 
1 in. (25 mm)
 from the 
bottom of the container. Mount the pump to the 
cover or other suitable mounting device.
Grounding
Proper grounding is essential to maintaining a safe
system.
To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the pump. 
Check local electrical codes for detailed grounding 
instructions for your area and equipment type. Be sure 
the following equipment is properly grounded:
Pump: See F
Air and fluid hoses: Use only electrically conductive 
hoses.
Air compressor: Follow manufacturer’s
recommendations.
Dispensing valve: Obtain grounding through con-
nection to a properly grounded fluid hose and pump.
Fluid supply container: Follow your local code.
Object being lubricated: Follow your local code.
Any pails used when flushing: Use only metal, 
grounded pails when flushing. Make firm 
metal-to-metal contact between a metal part of the 
dispensing valve and the pail. Use the lowest possi-
ble pressure.
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or reliev-
ing pressure, always hold a metal part of the valve firmly 
to the side of a grounded metal pail, then trigger the 
valve.
To ground the pump, remove the ground screw (Z) and 
insert through the eye of the ring terminal at end of 
ground wire, (Y). Fasten the ground screw back onto the 
pump and tighten securely. Connect the other end of the 
ground wire to a true earth ground. See F
. 2. To order 
a ground wire and clamp order Part No. 222011.

Mount the pump securely so that it cannot move dur-
ing operation. Failure to do so could result in per-
sonal injury or equipment damage.
To prevent damage to the pump, remove sedi-
ment from the bottom of the container before 
installing a pump in an existing container.
