2.6 Tripod Grounding
The tripod must be properly grounded using a user-supplied grounding rod.
Place the clamp over the ground rod and drive the rod (close to the center of
the tripod) using a sledge hammer or fence post driver. Strip 1/2 in. (12.7 mm)
of insulation from both ends of a 4 AWG ground wire. Insert one end of the
ground wire between the clamp and ground rod and tighten the bolt on the
clamp. Attach the other end of the ground wire to the lug on the tripod base as
shown in FIGURE 2-6.
