4. GROUND (COMMON) CONNECTIONS
a.
12VDC Systems
12VDC powered lifts are chassis grounded and do not require a separate ground cable connection to battery.
However, if the common side of the lift electrical system is connected to chassis with a cable, the cable must be
attached in a manner that provides a reliable electrical connection. If ground cable is attached to an existing
ground circuit, the circuit must be capable of conducting an additional 90 amps.
b.
24VDC Systems
1) Ricon recommends that a dedicated ground cable be used in 24VDC installations. A 4GA cable, or
heavier, must be used.
2) Refer
to
Figure 2-11
. The ground cable is connected from the negative stud (-) on pump motor to the
negative battery terminal.
