6.Tighten the terminal screws. Leave some slack wire inside the wiring box.

7.Connect the ground wires to a free position on the ground bus, Figure 4 on page 24. If solid ground wire is being used, the wire can be connected directly under the screw heads. If stranded ground wire is being used, ring terminals must also be used.

8.Secure the strain-relief clamp on the AC output cable jacket.

9.Attach the wiring compartment cover panel and tighten the four screws.

10.Connect the outgoing AC wires to an AC load panel equipped with circuit breakers.
