Key Features & Specifications

Importance & Safety Notes

• The ground conductor helps prevent static electricity buildup which can be dangerous when spraying flammable or solvent-based materials.
• Ensuring a solid ground connection improves electrical stability, reducing risks of sparking or electrostatic discharge.
• Always check for signs of wear or corrosion on the conductor during maintenance — a compromised ground can reduce protection.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• When installing, verify that the conductor is attached to the correct grounding point on the frame or motor housing, as specified in the service manual. 
• Use proper torque on any screws or rivets to ensure a tight electrical connection — loose mounting can lead to poor grounding.
• During maintenance cycles, visually inspect the grounding wire for fraying, corrosion, or loose fasteners.
• If the conductor shows damage or poor conductivity, replace it immediately with a genuine Graco part to maintain safety compliance.
