Step 7 - Attach The Splash Cover - Tesla Powerwall Installation Manual

Step-by-Step Installation Instructions

STEP 7 - ATTACH THE SPLASH COVER

1. Route all wires toward the top left of the circuit board to keep them away from the Enable
buttons. When the splash cover is removed, the Enable buttons disable power to the unit for
service.
Warning: Misrouted wiring that keeps the buttons pressed in when the cover is off can
create a risk of electric shock. Ensure that the Enable buttons are not pressed by any
wiring.
2. Route all field-installed wires into the channel to the left of the splash cover mounting hole.
3. Align the splash cover with the circuit board.
4. Ensure that all wires route out of the splash cover through its side opening, and that wires are
not pinched or kinked.
5. Ensure that the Enable buttons are pressed when the cover is attached. Listen for the click of
the buttons being pressed.
6. Use a T20 Torx driver to attach the splash cover with two M4 screws. Torque to 3 Nm (27 in-
lbs).
7. Use the included "fir tree" zip tie (in the exterior shipping pouch with the manual) to secure all
field wires to the existing hole in the metal bracket. If the fir tree zip tie is already installed
around the internal factory wiring, use a second zip tie to secure the field wiring to the
internal wiring harness in the same location.
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.
