Basic Installation Procedures

Step 3: Mounting the Freedom HW

To mount the Freedom HW:

1.Remove the Freedom HW from its shipping container, verify that all components are present, and record relevant product information on Freedom HF Inverter/Charger Owner’s Guide (Doc. Part Number:

975-0467-01-01) Warranty section.

2.Select an appropriate mounting location and orientation. (See Figure 1-3below.) To meet regulatory requirements, for use in on-land applications, the Freedom HW must be mounted in one of the following orientations:

•Under a horizontal surface (see 1)

•In a horizontal position on a vertical surface (see 2)

•On a horizontal surface (see 3)

3.Look for the mounting template and unfold. Tape it to the mounting surface and pilot-drill the desired number of mounting holes. Remove the template.

4.Fasten the Freedom HW to the mounting surface. If you are mounting the unit on a wall or bulkhead, use #12 or #14 pan-head wood or sheet metal screws to secure it to the framing behind the wall or bulkhead. Alternatively, use nut inserts and 1/4-20 machine screws.
