13. Route the negative cable through the right side strain relief
clamp and connect the cable from the negative post of the
battery to the negative DC terminal of the inverter/charger.

bolt. Tighten the nut to a torque of 8–9 N-m (71–80 in-lb ) of
force. Do not overtighten. Make the connection snug enough
so the cable lug does not move around on the DC terminal.

touch the edge.

captive nut panel screw. See the following electrical shock
hazard warning.

injury, or equipment damage
