LectroCount Ground Strap Kit
All seat cushions are grounded in a similar manner. The illustrations below detail the following instructions

Some truck seats, typically passenger seats, are not adjustable and do not require
grounding.
2. Find an existing screw or hole near the back of the seat frame, close to the cab
floor. If a hole or screw does not already exist, drill a 9/32” hole in the seat frame.
3. Attach one end of the ground strap to the seat frame bracket using the lock
washer, flat washer and nut provided.
Ensure a Good Ground
Remove any dirt or oxidation from the ground strap contact point. Lock washers should

4. Find an existing screw or hole, or drill a 9/32” hole, in the part of the seat frame—
