Grounding Chassis

Use the following procedure to connect the panel to an approved office ground source:
1. Obtain two lengths of #10 AWG wire for use as the chassis grounding wires.
Note: A single ground wire can also be used. If using a single ground wire, use #6 AWG
wire terminated at either stud.
2. Terminate one end of each wire with the #10 ring terminals provided (requires crimper).
3. Connect the ring terminal end of each wire to one of the studs and secure using the nuts
with captive star washers provided (requires 3/8-inch socket). Tighten each stud nut to 23
pound-force inches (2.6 Newton meters) of torque.
4. Route the free end of each chassis grounding wire to an approved office ground source.
5. Cut each chassis grounding wire to length and connect it to the office ground source as
required by local code or practice.
