That's exactly the wrong thing to do in this case. If you can manage to connect the belts etc. to a conductive frame effectively, the problem will be much reduced.

And absolutely do not try to fix things by connecting anything to your electrical ground. What you'll end up with is high voltages on your wiring, which will very likely damage the electronics each time a static zap occurs.
