a T25 driver to 

remove these 

two fastners

Remove the grommets from the power cable cover.

Ground

Using a punch or similar, create a hole in the grommet just large 

enough to allow the line, ground and neutral (if required) wires to 

pass through the grommet. 
Pass one cable through each of the grommets. 
Connect an appropriate one-hole crimp lug on the end of each wire 

for an 8 mm stud. 
Reinstall the power cable cover using the T25 hardware. Ensure that 

the grommets are properly seated.
