INSTALLATION

GROUNDING

If the pump has been approved to pump volatile or
flammable liquids, the unit must be grounded by
attaching the ground wire assembly to a ground
rod in order to eliminate electrostatic build-up by
the liquid being pumped. Install the ground rod in
accordance with the National Electrical Codes and
all local codes. Be sure the fastening device makes

a tight electrical connection with the rod and the
pump.

Inspect and test the ground wire assembly
for conductivity. replace broken or frayed
wire before resuming operation.
