Connecting terminal blocks to battery breakers

To minimize risk, terminal block-to-battery breaker connections are made prior to battery-to- terminal block connections. TOP entry of 120 mm2 [#4/0] cable (not supplied) is recommended for all connections specified in this section. Each terminal block assembly contains preset hardware for securing cable lugs.

Be certain battery breakers are in the open (or OFF) position before making connections to them.
