GROUNDING THE INVERTER

To avoid electrical shock, it is necessary to ground the
inverter as well as the device powering it. The inverter
should be grounded using a #8 AWG copper wire (not
included).
NOTE: Do not turn on the inverter or the power source
until the inverter and the power source are grounded. To
ground the inverter:
1. Turn off and disconnect the inverter.
2. Locate the chassis ground screw below the nega-
tive terminal on the left side of the inverter, remove
the outer hex nut and loosen the second hex nut.
3. Strip the insulation of the #8 AWG copper wire back
1.5" and wrap the bare end of the wire around the
ground screw between the two washers.
4. While holding the wire in place, tighten the hex nut
you loosened securely. Then, replace the other hex
nut and tighten it securely.
5. Attach the other end of the wire to a properly
grounded location, as described next:
A. VEHICLE: Connect to the chassis, unpainted
frame part, or engine block of the vehicle.
B. BOAT: Connect to the boat grounding system.
C. FIXED LOCATION: Connect to a ground rod
or other appropriately rated ground.
