Statement 122
Warning Before connecting or disconnecting ground or power wires to the chassis, ensure that power is
removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel
board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch
handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position. Use a voltmeter to test for 0 (zero) voltage at the
power terminals on the chassis. Statement 196
