Connecting the Equipment Ground

FIRE HAZARD

Never operate the Freedom HF without properly connecting the equipment ground. A fire hazard could result from improper grounding.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

The Freedom HF has a ground stud on the side of the unit as shown in Figure 3. Follow the guidelines in “Grounding Locations” to connect the inverter’s chassis to the ground.
