When terminating a frame ground, use the kep nut provided with the ONS 15454 and tighten it
to a torque specification of 31 in-lb. The kep nut provides a frame ground connection that
minimizes the possibility of loosening caused by rotation during installation and maintenance
activity. The type of prevention the kep nut provides for the frame ground connection is
inherently provided by the terminal block for battery and battery return connections.
