neutral green with yellow stripe
groundlng wire and the neutral wire
(white or center) of power supply cord
under the center screw of terminal block.

. Remove the center terminal block
screw. Remove the neutral green with
yellow stripe grounding wire from external
grounding conductor screw. Connect
neutral green wlth yellow stripe grounding
wire and the neutral wire (white or center)
of direct wire cable under the center
screw of terminal block. Place the hook-
shaped end of the wire over the termlnal
block screw with open side of the hook
facing to the right, Squeeze hook end of
wire together to form a loop.
Connect the other two insulated wires
under outer terminal block screws. Attach
wires using the same method as the
neutral wire.
Connect the direct wire cable (bare)
grounding wire to the external grounding
conductor screw (see Figure 21).
Tighten all terminal block screws firmly.
%. After reattaching the terminal block
cover, connect separate copper
groundlng wire from external grounding
connector to an adequate ground. If
codes permit and a separate grounding
wire is used, it is recommended that a
qualified electrician determine that the
grounding path is adequate.
