Required Tools and Equipment

To connect the system ground, you need the following tools and materials:

Note The grounding lug and M4 hex-head screws with locking washers are provided in kit 69-0815-01.

•One grounding wire.

The grounding wire must be sized according to local and national installation requirements. Depending on the power supply and system, a 12 AWG conductor or larger size wire is required for U.S. installations.

•Number 2 Phillips-head screwdriver.

•Crimping tool (must be large enough to accommodate the girth of the grounding lug when crimping the grounding cable into the lug).

Step 1 Use a wire-stripping tool to remove approximately 0.75 inch (19 mm) of the covering from the end of the grounding wire.

Step 2 Insert the stripped end of the grounding wire into the open end of the grounding lug.

Step 3 Use the manufacturer recommended crimping tool to secure the grounding wire in place in the grounding lug.
