If bare copper or aluminum wiring is used, attach adapter lugs as shown in figure 6. (See Bare Wire Connection). Torque specifications are shown below. 3. The middle wire of the service cord or ground lead of 3-wire conduit MUST connect to the neutral (middle) post of the main terminal block. The other two wires of the service cord or conduit connect to the outside posts of the main terminal connection block. Polarity is unimportant. (If using bare wire, attach wire to appropriate lug as shown. Torque specifications are shown below). 4. An appropriate strain relief for service cord or conduit MUST be attached to the conduit plate.
