A protective conduit (plastic)is providedfor the power cord. Cut the
conduit so that it is approximately18 inches shorterthan the power
cord and thread the power cord through the conduit. (See figures26 &
27.)
Insert the power cord with a U.L. listed strain relief through the hole

provided in the cabinet near the terminal block. Note, a strain relief
must be used.
3-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
Do not loosenthe nuts already installed on the terminal block. Be
sure they are tight. Use a 3/8 inch deep nut driver.
If the power cord has terminals, place the terminals over the existing
nuts on the posts. The neutral (white or center wire on power cord)

conductormust always be connected to the center (silver colored)
post of the terminal block.
