Step Two
Remove the wires on one outlet at a time.
There are four wires connecting the outlet: black, white and two green*. Remove the black and
white wires, by loosening the side-mounted screws on the outlet. The wires will pull out easily.
The green wires are removed by unscrewing the green Phillips screw.
* The lower outlet on the P300 has more green wires and requires slightly different
instructions noted later in this document. This is not of concern until you are ready to mount the
replacement Power Port.
Step Three
Prepare the Power Port.
To prepare the Power Port, remove the silver mounting screw on each end of the Power Port.
Dispose of the screws. Remove the one silver U-shaped clip found at the bottom of the Power
Port (this is called a Tinnerman nut and is only needed for in-wall installation). Discard the
Tinnerman nut.
Step Four
Attach the wires to the Power Port. It is VERY IMPORTANT that all wires are securely mounted.
Loose wires will result with an intermittent connection that may cause severe damage to the
Power Plant and may also pose a potential shock hazard by connecting live voltage to the
chassis.
Loosen the silver colored side-mounted screw on the Power Port. Insert the white wire in the rear
hole. Tighten the silver screw on the side. Tug on the wire and make sure it is firmly help in
place. Repeat the same process with the black wire, and the side mounted gold colored screws.
The green ground wires are run in series (“Daisy Chained”) through each receptacle. Both green
wires have a lug attached to them. If the lug is an open spade type connector, simply push the
lug onto the green screw on the Power Port and tighten the green screw until the lug and green
wire are held firmly in place. If the green wire lug is a ring type and not open on one end, then
you will need to first remove the green screw completely from the Power Port and place the screw
through the ring terminal and then tighten the green screw.
Make sure each receptacle has two green ground wires attached to its ground post.
P300 attach the Power Ports
Step One
Snip the corners of the top Power Port.
On many versions of the P300, the top “ears” of the Power Port will collide with the rear panel
binding post and the sidewall. It will be necessary to “snip” the ear off in order to fit. Look closely
at the ear and note that there is a scored marking on the ear. Take your wire cutter or tin snips*,
and simply cut the ear off at the scored marking.
* (If you do not have access to snips or cutters that are capable of cutting this metal, then you
may also use a pair of pliers or dikes to bend the metal back and forth along the scored line until
fatigue causes it to break.)
Step Two
Using the new hardware provided in the kit, replace the screw and nut that hold the Power Port in
place. (P300 only – you will also need to re-insert the screws found between the plugs)
