3.

Install the conduit nipple into the service entrance via the knockout and secure with the appropriate
threaded conduit locknut.

4.

Locate the two screw terminals (L1 and L2) on the bottom of the input circuit breaker.

5.

Connect one of the incoming Black #6 AWG wires to L1 (left terminal). Connect the remaining Black (or
Red) #6 AWG wire to L2 (right terminal). NOTE: If the wire at L2 is Black, Mark it with red tape (or label).

6.

Connect the #6 AWG White wire to the neutral (N) bus lug located to the top right of the circuit breaker
assembly.

7.

Connect the #6 Bare solid or stranded for Grounding Electrode Conductor (Earth Ground) to the ground
and neutral bus located to the right side of the circuit breaker assembly.
