STEP 2. 

Connect ground lug on the bottom of the control.
Use the ground lug on the bottom of the control enclosure to ground the enclosure. 
See Figures 11 and 12. The ground lug will accommodate up to #2 copper or 
aluminum, solid or stranded wire. Ground impedance must be 25 ohms or less to 
properly protect the equipment.

   WARNING

The control must be properly grounded . You must read and understand all applicable 
grounding codes and requirements for your service area before installing this device . 
An ungrounded control may have potentially lethal voltage present .
