For all installations, the appropriate connector
should be applied only to the correct size conductor
as specified by the connector manufacturer, using
only the connector manufacturer's recommended
tooling or tooling approved for that connector.
– If the proper connector for the country of installation

Precautions
When working on or using this type of equipment, follow these
precautions:
– This unit must be installed, serviced, and operated
only by skilled and qualified personnel who have the
necessary knowledge and practical experience with
electrical equipment and who understand the
hazards that can arise when working on this type of
equipment.
– Because of the hazardous energy supplied to and
within the equipment, make sure the equipment, all
associated framework, and the cable rack are
properly grounded according to local job
instructions before connecting any power.
– Hazardous dc energy and voltage (from batteries and
rectifier output) are present in the unit. Use a
voltmeter to insure no voltage, or the expected
voltage, is present before contacting any uninsulated
conductor surface. Follow the procedures in the
order given to minimize dangerous encounters with
these voltages. Exercise extreme caution when
working near the battery bus bars.
– Capacitors will stay charged for at least one minute
after power is disconnected.
– Use only properly insulated tools.
– Remove all metallic objects (key chains, glasses,
rings, watches, or any other jewelry).
– Wear safety glasses.
– Test circuits before touching.
– Lock out and tag any circuit breakers/fuses when
possible to prevent accidental turn on.
