Be sure this is a good ground by checking continuity to the battery (­) terminal. As much as possible connect all equipment to the same ground point. Position the unit over the screw holes you prepared earlier. Remove the Top Cover by inserting a flat-tipped instrument (such as a panel removal tool or slotted screwdriver) into the 2 notches of the unit (marked A). If removal is still not possible, bend the Top Cover and remove the tabs on both sides. Fasten the unit down with the four self-tapping screws (M4 x 36, supplied). Attach the Stacking Plates (*) on the first unit with Machine Screws M3 x 7(*). Attach the second unit with four Machine Screws M4 x 24 (*).
