7.6. LIGHTNING GROUND ROD
Because aluminum can conduct electricity, the PLGRK (LIGHTNING GROUND ROD KIT) is available and
provides the components needed to ground a ramp system.
Prior to installing, ensure that any underground electrical conductors, natural gas lines,
water/drain lines, and or other interferences are located and will not hinder the installation.
7.6.1.
Drive the grounding rod straight into the ground as close as possible (within 1-1/2 feet
maximum) to one of the support tubes leaving approximately 2” exposed.
7.6.2.
Install the brace band around support tube. Place the #8 bare copper wire under the brace
band on the corner as shown (FIG. 7.9).
7.6.3.
Install the 5/16”-18 carriage bolt, nut, and flat washer and tighten so that wire is in good
contact with the support tube.
7.6.4.
Install 5/8” grounding rod clamp to grounding rod. Place #8 wire between clamp and rod,
then tighten the clamp.
