Tools and Materials Needed:
• 2.5" Punch Tool Kit for Enclosures (Alpha P/N 745-131-20)
• 2.5" Enclosure Upgrade Kit (Alpha P/N 745-131-21)
• Electric drill

Procedure:
1. If not previously installed, punch or cut a 2.5” hole in the enclosure (shown below) to
route the generator’s battery cable. Ensure area is clear of electrical wires and boxes.
2. Install the grommet into the hole, and install the weatherproof plug into the grommet.
3. Using the #7 or #9 drill bit, drill a hole approximately 2” below and to one side of the
grommet, attach the lanyard on the inside of the enclosure with the #10 bolt and nut
provided.
Disconnect all sources of service power to the enclosure before drilling holes. Ensure the
area is clear of wires and electrical boxes. Do not locate the hole above electrical boxes to
prevent damage from water intrusion while the plug is removed.
