Lift tool or adequate personnel trained and capable of lifting 115 kg (254 lb) from ground level to approximately chest height Warning: Powerwall is heavy and challenging to lift. Lift equipment is recommended. To prevent injury, wear work boots (preferably steel-toed), long pants, and gloves. -
Page 10: Step 1 - Remove The Lid And Bottom Cover
Step-by-Step Installation Instructions STEP 1 - REMOVE THE LID AND BOTTOM COVER For easiest installation, pre-install wiring and set all switches while Powerwall is still on its pallet, as described below. Lay the box flat on the ground with the pallet side down. -
Page 11: Step 2 - Remove The Splash Cover
Turn off the inverter. Open the DC disconnect switch (if applicable for the installation). Use a multimeter to verify that the wires from the inverter to Powerwall are not live. Use a T20 Torx driver to remove the two splash cover screws. -

Page 18: Step 7 - Attach The Splash Cover
Caution: To ensure that wires do not interfere with fitting the splash cover or bottom cover, both factory wires and field wires must follow the route shown in images and be fastened in place with zip ties. Improper cover installation can nullify the ingress rating for Powerwall. Powerwall Installation Manual... -
Page 19: Step 8 - Remove The Pallet
Place the box lid carefully back over Powerwall and move it sideways until the inside of the box lid touches the top edge of Powerwall. This leaves room for the bottom of the box to flex without damaging Powerwall's bottom cover. - Page 20 Step-by-Step Installation Instructions Remove the pallet. The mounting cleat on the back of Powerwall should now be visible, and extend past the edge of the box for easy installation. Remove the wall mount bracket from the inside face of the pallet.

• Wear safety goggles, rubber gloves, pants, a long sleeved shirt, and fully closed shoes. • Avoid further coolant spill by putting a bucket under the leak. Powerwall holds up to 1.6 L (1.69 qt) of coolant. • Pour cat litter, sawdust, or another absorbent material on the spill immediately. Allow the material to absorb as much of the coolant as possible. - Page 30 3500 Deer Creek Road Palo Alto, CA 94304 Rev. 1.02 May 16, 2016...
