    Warning
    Switching off will ensure Powerwall does not grid form. However, AC voltage may still be present from the grid. Ensure all equipment is safely de-energized before working.
  2. Remove the left side cover from Powerwall.
  3. Prepare Powerwall for side or back cable entry:
    1. For side cable entry installations, remove the side cable entry door from the left side cover.
    2. For back cable entry installations, remove the plug from the back cable entry port and place it in the side cable entry port.

      Note
      The plug must always be placed in either the back or side cable entry port.
  4. Using lift equipment, position Powerwall close to the wall and adjust the height of Powerwall until its mounting cleats are just above the flanges on the bracket.
  5. Lower Powerwall until the top cleat engages the top flange on the bracket and the bottom cleat aligns with the bottom flange.
  6. With both cleats engaged, lower Powerwall onto the bracket. An audible click will be heard when the cleats are seated in the bracket and the locking mechanism at the center of the top flange clicks into place.

    Note
    To remove Powerwall from the mounting bracket, place a thin piece of sheet metal between the Powerwall unit and the bracket to compress the locking mechanism, and lift the Powerwall straight up.

  7. If floor-mounting Powerwall, use shims to ensure that Powerwall is level. The unit should be level within +/– 2 degrees side-to-side and within +/– 5 degrees front-to-back.
  8. If wall-mounting Powerwall, remove the feet from the unit.
