Grounding - Storch Airless ST 850 Mode D'emploi

Grounding

The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk of
static sparking and electric shock. An electric or static
spark can cause fumes to ignite or explode. An improper
ground can cause electric shock. A good ground provides
an escape wire for the electric current.
This sprayer is equipped with a power cord that has a
ground wire and an appropriate grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided; if it does not fit the out-
let, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electri-
cian.
Power Requirements
230 V units require 230 V AC, 50 / 60 HZ, 9 A, 1 phase.
Extension Cords
Use an extension cord with an undamaged ground con-
tact. If an extension cord is necessary, use a 3-wire, 12
AWG (2.5 mm ) minimum.

NOTE: Smaller gauge or longer extension cords may
reduce sprayer performance.
Pails
Solvent and oil-based fluids: follow local code. Use only
conductive metal pails, placed on a grounded surface such
as concrete.
Do not place pail on a non-conductive surface such as
paper or cardboard which interrupts grounding continuity.
Always ground a metal pail: connect a ground wire to
the pail. Clamp one end to the pail and the other end to a
true earth ground such as a water pipe.
To maintain ground continuity when sprayer is flushed
or pressure is relieved: hold metal part of spray gun firm-
ly to the side of a grounded metal pail then trigger the
gun.
