REV MARCH 2004 FT451 GROUND BOLT INSTAL
Installation
This procedure is for the installation of the FT451 Self Proving
Grounding Ball.
1. Find a clear location on the trailer main frame support that is within
reach of the rack grounding cable. This area is normally near the
overfill sockets. Drill a 17/32" hole in the middle area of the frame
support. Remove all sharp edges and clean the surface area around
the hole.
2. Drill a ¼" hole approximately 4.0" to the left or right of the 17/32"
hole. Clean the area around the ¼ drilled hole.
3. Crimp the eyelet on the end of the green wire.
4. Mount the ground ball in the 17/32" hole with the round end facing
the outside of the trailer. The round ball end is where the rack ground
plug is to connect.
5. Fasten the green wire by bolting the eyelet to the frame through the
¼" hole, using the ¼" bolt, lock washer, and nut.
6. Apply a small amount of grease on both the ½" and ¼" nuts to
block moisture from effecting continuity.
Do not use electric drills or tools that generate heat,
sparks, or use electricity near a petroleum tanker unless the tank
has been purged of flammable gases.
