2.2 - TERMINAL CONNECTIONS
Terminal connections must be tightened using the correct torque values as defined
in TABLE 2 below. Over or under tightened connections can result in terminal
breakage, over-heating and/or meltdown. Using the proper torque value will provide
optimum conductivity. To avoid a short circuit, use a wrench with an insulated or
rubber coated handle when making terminal connections. See DIAGRAM 1 below
for proper washer placement.
NEVER place a washer between the mating surfaces of the terminals
and cables. This will compromise electrical transmission and increase
resistance, resulting in extreme heat generation and probable terminal
melting.
Loctite
®
Threadlocker may be used to better secure the terminal
connections. Be careful not to get Loctite
®
between the mating surfaces
of the terminal.
