3. Hold the inverter against the mounting surface, mark the positions of
the mounting screws, and then remove the inverter.
4. Pilot drill the four mounting holes.
5. Fasten the inverter to the mounting surface using corrosion-resistant
fasteners sized #10 or larger.

2. Locate the screw terminal labelled CHASSIS GND on the DC panel
and remove the chassis ground screw and star washer.
3. Attach the ground cable’s ring connector to the screw terminal on the
inverter and secure with the star washer and chassis ground screw.
4. Attach the other end of the ground cable to the vehicle chassis via a
grounding point on the vehicle.

Do not mount the inverter under the engine hood of a
vehicle.
