Strip a half-inch off each of the four cable ends, insert the longer section of the cable in a PVC strain relief, and install good quality tin
plated terminal lugs on the bare wires. Crimp the terminals with a hand held crimping tool (the use of locked pliers (Vice-Grip) is not
recommended), until the entire cable is crimped, and then cover each section of bared wire with good quality RED shrinkable tubing
(Figure 4).
CAUTION!
Do not solder the terminal lugs to cables. Solid and low resistance connections to the DC power source are
essential in order to properly operate the inverter. The soldering cannot provide such connections.

3.6.1.1 Fuse
A main fuse must be installed in the battery casing on the positive cable (+) between the batteries and the inverter, as close as possible
to the batteries. In this way (and in the event of cable rupture), the DC current would be cut at the batteries and would not cause a fire.
Figure 5: Fuse schema
We recommend a fuse of type “CNL”, mounted on a fuse holder, type “CNL.” Plug one terminal of the small and the long cable’s
sections on the fuse holder, as illustrated in figure 5, and install the fuse. Without tightening them too much, the terminals must be
solidly fixed onto the fuse holder, and must not be able to move around.
CAUTION!
Not installing a fuse can result in fire that may cause severe injuries and/or damages.
3.6.2 Preparation of the cable connected to the negative side
Determine and cut the length of cable which you need to connect the negative side (-) of the battery to that of the inverter, without
forgetting the necessary length to allow movements due to the suspension of the cabin. Strip approximately a half-inch of insulation
from the two ends of the cable, insert the cable through the second PVC strain relief, and install good quality tin plated terminal lugs on
the stripped sections. Crimp the terminals with a hand held crimping tool (the use of a locked plier (Vice-Grip) is not recommended)
