Torque Requirements - Outback GTFX2012E Installation Manual

DC
• Use crimped and sealed copper ring terminal lugs with 0.79 cm (5/16") hole or compression-type
lug to connect battery cables to DC terminals. Soldered cable lugs are also acceptable.
• Use recommended cable sizes (see page 42) to reduce losses and ensure high performance of FX
(smaller cables can reduce performance and possibly damage the unit).
• Keep cables together (e.g., using a tie-wrap) as much as possible.
• Ensure cables pass through the same knockout and conduit fittings. This helps to cancel the effects
of self-induction in the cables.
