Making the Connections
Introduction
Cells are supplied with different post configurations suited to their
current-handling requirements.
The 5/16-18 stainless steel bolt assemblies are used with copper posts.
The copper posts have two holes in both axes of the post.
Procedure
1. Place inter-cell connectors against cell posts and insert
Lucent-supplied brass stud or stainless steel bolt through the bolt
hole in the post and the hole in the connector. Install heavy-duty
washers, bolts and nuts, and hand tighten.
2. Tighten connections to the torque values shown in Table 6-A,
using an insulated torque wrench and an insulated open-end
wrench in counter-torque.
3. Align cells so the inter-cell connectors match up with the holes of
the terminal posts. The two inter-cell connectors must be placed
on opposite sides of the posts. Make the connection using the bolt
assemblies supplied (positive to negative).
4. Tighten the connections to the specified torque values using two
wrenches, a torque, and box wrench in counter-torque to avoid
damaging posts or stripping threads.
Caution
Be sure flame arrestors are installed before making battery
connections.
