OPERATION
PREPARE THE RAIL SURFACE
Select the type and length of bonding cable to use for the
bond and use it as a guide to determine where brazing points
on the rail will be required.
Before brazing, the rail must be cleaned of rust, corrosion,
paint, pits, or other contamination at the points where the brazing is going to be done and on an area close to the brazing for
placement of the grounding cable. Cleaning is accomplished
with a grinder to ensure clean, bare metal.
NOTE:
Use only grinding wheels furnished by Stanley. Other
wheels have shown to leave residues which cause faulty
brazing.
CAUTION
Always use eye protection when grinding and brazing.

2. Connect the ground cable .
3. Connect the grinder.
Ground Receptacle
1. Grind the surface of the rail where brazing is going to be
done, until the surface shows shiny metal, free of rust, corrosion, pits, or other contamination. When grinding, use the
edge of the grinding wheel - not the face of the wheel.
2. Grind the surface of the rail where the grounding cable
will be placed to ensure a good ground. The grounding cable
should be placed in close proximity to the brazing area.
PLACING THE GROUNDING CABLE
3. When nished grinding the rail for placement of the grounding cable, place the grounding cable on the cleaned surface
and then insert the other end into the twist lock receptacle
in the control box marked "GROUND" or "EARTHING" and
twist to lock.
