Chassis Ground Stud
Xantrex recommends that you attach the grounding cable to the chassis
ground stud with a ring terminal. This procedure will ensure that the wire
does not slip off the chassis ground stud.
To connect the cable to the chassis ground stud:
1. Remove the ground stud nut and star washer.
2. Strip 1/2 inch (13 mm) to 3/4 inch (19 mm) of insulation from the end
of the cable.
3. Attach the ring connector that will join the cable to the chassis ground
stud. The connector you use must create a permanent, low-resistance
connection. (See “Materials” on page 3–10.)
4. Fit the ring connector and star washer over the stud. The ring
connector should be flat against the XM 1800 chassis.
5. Tighten the ground stud nut.
