Installing a kickplate extension
Install a kickplate extension onto the base of a NEBS 2000 frame at its front
or rear as part of enclosing a frame.
Prerequisites
• You must be familiar with “Safety considerations and best practices”
(page 53).
• You need a kickplate extension with a ground cable NTRU0102 from kit
NTPX4060 as shown in the figure “A kickplate extension P0995497”
(page 471). The cable has eye-loop fasteners at both ends and is 30.5 cm
(1 ft) long and size 10 AWG (5.26 mm
2
).
• You need a driver for
— the medium slotted captive screws that fasten the kickplate extension
to the base of the frame
— whatever fastener is to be used to connect the frame ground cable to
the kickplate extension
Procedure steps
1 Fasten the ground cable NTRU0102 to the kickplate as shown in the
figure “A kickplate extension P0995497” (page 471) by
• putting a lock washer P0600895 over the stud on the kickplate
• putting a cable lug over the stud while ensuring that the cable points
towards the frame to minimize the angle of stress on the cable neck
when the kickplate extension will be fastened
• fastening a KEPS nut P0601382 onto the stud with the attached star
washer contacting the cable lug
2 Fasten the other end of the ground cable to a welded nut in an L-shaped
bracket inside the base of the frame using a Pozidriv 12-mm thread-
forming screw P0600060 and a lock washer P0600895.
3 Align the 2 captive screws of the kickplate extension with the holes on the
facing edge of the lower left and right extension brackets as shown in the
figure “Orientation of a kickplate extension to the lower extension
brackets” (page 472).
