appropriate conductor bar. 

 

10.1.(b):  

Tighten each bolt (upper and lower) until the collector is firmly in place 10 ft-lb. (120 in-

lb.).

Termination of collector leads should be in accordance with NEC and local electrical 

standards. 

 
 

NOTE:  Before performing any maintenance on the system, be sure that the power to the system
