HELLLLP! This is no fun at all! My Lindsay blaster with a 25 foot sand hose, purchased used, is trying to kill me.. I keep getting shocked every few seconds while blasting.. Where do I need to run a ground wire??? Do I need to run a bare conductor along the sand hose? or need I install a ground strap from the nozzle to the dirt? OW! it hurts!

You could get your bellybutton pierced and trail a piece of ground chain!

I have had the same problem on my polishers and belt sanders as will as my blaster. Because I couldn't used a wrist band like computer guys do(gloves on) I wear a belly ground that I attach to the machine I am on. Since my blaster is a booth type and not an open type I would run the wire down the hose to the holding tank. I use small piece of copper bend over my belt so the inside is in direct contact with my skin. I use clips on both ends so it will pull free if it gets caught on something or you step away from the machine and forget to unhook. This has done away with my static problems of getting zapped especially on cold dry days. Bob.

The ground straps that the computer guys wear have a resistor in line that limits fault current into the body. I would recommend adding one to your setup somewhere for safety. Hate to lose a fellow tractor enthusiast.
