Re: (ET) Front hold down

[Dean Stuckmann <dstuckmann icloud com>]

Hi, 
It is a battery hold down according to the AP 60 literature. (Thanks to 
George’s amazing site https://www.myelec-traks.com/)  The battery hold 
down is used as the amount point for the inverter. . 

"The inverter can be permanently mounted in the area under the tractor 
hood by replacing the thumb screw securing the front battery hold-down 
clamp with the threaded stud provided with the inverter. Thread this rod 
into the clamp approximately 3/8-inch and place the inverter over the stud 
so its output receptacle faces forward and is at the top of the inverter. 
Secure the inverter with the nut and lockwasher supplied.”

Here is a pic of the hold-down installed.
