Re: 2009 Distribution Block

As a result, we never had a problem with wires working loose from the block during the entire season. We checked the clamp screws periodically to see if there was an issue, but found that they never worked loose and did not need to be retightened.

This is very good advice. Thank you. I'll remind the electrical people to actually read the manual next time

For the record, it never gave us any trouble either, but sometimes when we checked it we found that one of the wires was falling out

What method do teams use to secure the wires prior to entering the block?
