All seat cushions are grounded in a similar manner.

The illustrations on the next page detail the following

instructions for grounding three typical types of truck

seats.

To ground a truck seat:

1. Identify any adjustable, shock absorbing seat in the truck

cab. These seats will typically have pivot points, hinges,

or other mechanical design features that make seat

adjustments possible.

2. Find an existing screw or hole near the back of the seat

frame, close to the cab floor. If a hole or screw does not

already exist, drill a 9/32” hole in the seat frame.

3. Attach one end of the ground strap to the seat frame

bracket using the lock washer, flat washer and nut

provided.

4. Find an existing screw or hole, or drill a 9/32” hole,

in the part of the seat frame—above all pivots and

adjustments—that is attached directly to the seat cushion.

Make sure that there are no intervening pivot points,

guides, adjustment mechanisms, etc., which could

interfere with the ground path between the seat cushion

and the ground strap.

4a. If the seat cushion has a wooden base, use a wood

screw and washer to attach the strap lug to the bottom

of the seat at a point where the seat fabric is attached to

the wood. There must be good contact between the seat

fabric and ground strap lug.

5. Use the wire ties provided with the kit and tie off the strap

so that it doesn’t interfere with the movement of the seat

and is clear of traffic areas in the cab.

6. Check the strap for a good ground connection (see

below).

Remove any dirt or oxidation from the ground strap

contact point. Lock washers should penetrate any

paint to ensure a good electrical connection.
