A NOTE BEFORE STARTING
Throughout this installation, we will be discussing the connection of #4 heavy gauge cables to several different
electrical components. Some cables will be attached to THREADED LUGS or “posts”, and others will be
attached to FLAT Buss BARS. An understanding of each of these cable connections is important. Let’s first
cover the THREADED LUGS. You will notice these lugs utilize a set of double nuts to hold the cable terminal
firmly in place. Typically, a cable terminal and a washer will be sandwiched between these two nuts. This
configuration is deliberate, and care should be given to properly removing or installing these nuts. An open-end
wrench of the appropriate size should be held on the bottom nut while another wrench or socket is used on the
top nut to either loosen or tighten this connection. The use of opposing wrenches relieves the threaded lug of
excessive stress and eliminates the possibility of damaging the seals at the base of these lugs. Failure to use the
opposing wrench technique on double-nutted lugs can permanently damage the component. You will also want
to use the opposing wrench technique when making connections at the FLAT Buss BARS, but care should also
be given to avoid twisting or bending the bars. Again, these seals at the base of the connection points are fragile
and subject to damage if handled improperly. Seal damage at these electrical contact points will void the
warranty for that component.
