Grounding and Electric
Requirements
The sprayer cord includes: a grounding wire with an
appropriate grounding contact.
The sprayer requires:
110-120V Units: 100-130VAC, 50/60 Hz, 11A, 1 phase,
circuit with a grounding receptacle.
240V Units: 210-255 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 7.5A, 1 phase, cir-
cuit with a grounding receptacle.
Never use an outlet that is not grounded or an
adapter.
Do not use the sprayer if the electrical cord has a dam-
aged ground contact. Only use an extension cord with
an undamaged ground contact.
Recommended extension cords for use with this
sprayer:
• 110-120V: 3-wire, 12 AWG (2.5 mm2) minimum, 300
ft. (90 m) maximum length.
• 240V: 3-wire, 16 AWG (1.0 mm2) minimum, 300 ft
(90 m) maximum length.
Spray gun: ground through connection to a properly
grounded fluid hose and pump.
Fluid supply container: follow local code.
Solvent and Oil-based fluids: follow local code. Use
only conductive metal pails placed on a grounded sur-
face such as concrete. Do not place the pail on a non-
conductive surface such as paper or cardboard, which
interrupts grounding continuity.
Grounding the metal pail: connect a ground wire to the
pail by clamping one end to pail and other end to ground
such as a water pipe.
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure: hold metal part of the spray gun
firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then trigger
the gun.
WARNING
Your system must be grounded. Read warnings, page
3.
Smaller gauge or longer extension cords may
reduce sprayer performance.

Pressure Relief Procedure
310824C 7
Pressure Relief Procedure
1. Turn OFF power and turn pressure control to lowest
pressure setting.
2. Hold gun against side of grounded metal flushing
pail. Trigger gun to relieve pressure.
3. Turn prime valve down.
If you suspect the spray tip or hose is clogged or that
pressure has not been fully relieved after following the
steps above, VERY SLOWLY loosen tip guard retaining
nut or hose end coupling to relieve pressure gradually,
then loosen completely. Clear hose or tip obstruction.
4. Engage trigger safety lock on gun if unit is being
shut down or left unattended.
