necessary to reinstall the deadfront once the wiring has
been brought into the panel. (These instructions are also
provided with the door front.)
27- and 31-inch-wide panels. To replace or install the

After Installing the Interior
Do not discard the remaining contents of the bag that contained
these instructions. The circuit identification tabs should be
used, as applicable, at the time the circuit protective devices are
installed. The NEMA instruction sheet provided should be
retained for use by maintenance personnel.
If plug-in devices are used, the area above the device-mounting
latches should be kept clear of any wires running through the
side gutters. This facilitates the future removal of a device, if
necessary.
Attention – Procedure for Aluminum
Terminations
1. Strip the insulation, being careful to not nick the wire.
2. Clean the wire strands with a wire brush.
3. Thoroughly coat the stripped conductor with a suitable
antioxidant compound, such as ALNOX or PENETROX
A13.
4. Insert the conductor and tighten the connector screw to the
required torque, as indicated on the rating label.
