Installation

Grounding and Electric

Requirements

The sprayer cord includes a grounding wire with an

appropriate grounding contact.

The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly

installed and grounded in accordance with all local

codes and ordinances. Do not use an adaptor.

240V Units: 210-255 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 7.5A, 1 phase, circuit with a grounding recepta-cle.

Do not use the sprayer if the electrical cord has a dam-

aged ground prong. Do not modify plug. If it will not fit in

the outlet, have a grounded outlet installed by a qualified

electrician.

Power Requirements

• 100-120V units require 100-120VAC, 50/60 Hz,

15A, 1 phase

• 230V units require 230VAC, 50/60 Hz, 7.5A, 1

phase

• Never use an outlet that is not grounded or an

adapter

Only use an extension cord with an undamaged

ground contact. If an extension cord is necessary, use a

3-wire, 12 AWG (2.5 mm2) minimum.

NOTE: Smaller gauge or longer extension cords may

reduce sprayer performance.

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 nonconductive surface, such

as paper or cardboard, which interrupts grounding conti-

nuity.

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.

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.

General Repair Information

312496H 7

General Repair Information

Flammable materials spilled on hot, bare motor could

cause fire or explosion. To reduce risk of burns, fire or

explosion, do not operate sprayer with cover removed.

• Keep all screws, nuts, washers, gaskets, and electri-

cal fittings removed during repair procedures. These

parts usually are not provided with replacement kits.

• Test repairs after problems are corrected.

• If sprayer does not operate properly, review repair

procedure to verify you did it correctly. See Trouble-

shooting, page 13.

• Install motor shroud before operation of sprayer and

replace if damaged. Motor shroud directs cooling air

around motor to prevent overheating. It can reduce

risk of burns, fire or explosion, or cut fingers.

• Overspray may build up in the air passages.

Remove any overspray and moisture from air pas-

sages and openings in the enclosure whenever you

service sprayer.

To reduce risk of serious injury, including electric shock:

• Do not touch moving or electric parts with fingers or

tools while testing repair.

• Unplug sprayer when power is not required for test-

ing.

• Install all covers, gaskets, screws and washers

before you operate sprayer.

NOTICE

To reduce risk of pressure control malfunction:

• Use needle nose pliers to disconnect wire. Never

pull on wire, pull on connector.

• Mate wire connectors properly. Center flat blade

of insulated male connector in female connector.

• Route wires carefully to avoid interference with

other connections or pressure control. Do not

pinch wires between cover and control box.

NOTICE

• Do not run sprayer dry for more than 30 seconds.

Doing so could damage pump packings.

• Protect the internal drive parts of this sprayer from

water. Openings in the cover allow for air cooling of

the mechanical parts and electronics inside. If

water gets in these openings, the sprayer could

malfunction or be permanently damaged.

• Prevent pump corrosion and damage from freezing.

Never leave water or water-base paint in sprayer

when its not in use in cold weather. Freezing fluids

can seriously damage sprayer. Store sprayer with

Pump Armor to protect sprayer during storage.
