Grounding
Continuity
Proper hose grounding continuity
is
essantial
to
maintaining a
grounded spray system. Check the electrical resistance.of your
fluld hoses at least once a week.
if
your
hose
does
not have atag
on it which specifies the maximum electrical resistance, contact
the
hose
supplier or manufacturer for
the
maximum resistance
hose
to
check the resistance. If the resistance exceeds
lhe
rec-
limits. Use
a
resistance meter in the appropriate range for your
ommended limits, replace it immediately.
An
ungrounded or
poorly grounded hose can make your system hazardous. Also
read FIRE
