16OPERATING MANUALVERSION 05/2017 ORDER NUMBER DOC 2354920 SPRINT XE4.2.3 GROUND THE UNITHazard due to electrostatic charge!Explosion hazard and damage to the device.The electrostatic charge may, in certain cases, give rise to electrostatic charges on thedevice. Flames or sparks can form during discharge.Correct grounding of the entire coating system prevents electrostatic charges:Ensure that all devices and tanks are grounded before each coating process.All of the system's conductive elements, such as floors, walls, ceilings, protectivegrating, transport equipment, work pieces, powder tanks, automatic moving devicesor construction parts etc. in the spray area, with the exception of parts which carryhigh voltage during operation, must be connected to the grounding system.Parts of the booth must be grounded in accordance with EN 12981.Ensure that all persons inside the working area are grounded, e.g., that they arewearing static dissipative shoes.Grounding cables must be checked regularly to ensure that they are serviceable(see EN 60204).4.2.4 PRODUCT HOSESDanger due to damaged product hoses!The product hose may cause dangerous injuries.Use only an original WAGNER powder hose.Make sure that the hoses are laid only in suitable places. Hoses should not be laid inthe following places under any circumstances:– in high traffic areas,– on sharp edges,– on moving parts or– on hot surfaces.Ensure that the hoses are never run over by vehicles (e.g., fork lifts), or that the hosesare never put under pressure from the outside in any other way.Ensure that the hoses are never kinked. Observe maximum bending radii.Ensure that no work is ever performed with a damaged hose.Make sure that the hoses are never used to pull or move the equipment.
