Installing the Ground Connection
Warning
This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the
absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection
authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.

Before You Begin
Locate a suitable ground.
Tip Using a multimeter, measure the resistance between various possible ground locations, such as between
the ground of a junction box (outlet) and the ground of a power tap, between the ground of a junction
box and a metal water pipe, between the chassis and the ground of a power tap, and between the chassis
and the ground of a junction box. A good ground connection should read between 0.0 and 0.5 Ohm.
Procedure
Step 1 Strip one end of the ground wire to the length required for the ring terminal.
Step 2 Crimp the ground wire to the ground lug or ring terminal, using a crimp tool of the appropriate size. (See
Figure 3-4.)
Figure 3-4 Crimping a Ground Lug onto the Ground Wire
Step 3
Attach the ring terminal to the chassis as shown in Figure 3-5. For a ring terminal, use one of the screws
provided. Use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws to a torque of 8 to 10 in-lb (0.9 to
1.1 N-m).
Step 4 Connect the other end of the ground wire to a grounding point at your site.
