Ground the shelter using the provided ground wire. If you anticipate heavy
surges, you may wish to use a heavier wire or multiple wires. Cut the ground
wire to the length required to reach from the shelter to a suitable ground, such
as Davis Instruments’ Grounding Kit (Product #7780). The ground wire should
be as short as possible. Strip both ends of the ground wire (remove the spade
lug if necessary) and insert one end into the ground lug. Secure in place by
tightening the ground lug screw. Attach the other end to a suitable ground.
