INSTALLING THE TRIM
1. Remove the twistouts with pliers at the center of the twistout.
See Figure 7. Remove only enough twistouts to match the
number of circuit breakers being installed.
2. Attach the Spanish translation label, supplied with the load
center, to the inside of the door.
3. Identify the circuit breakers on the directory label.
4. For service equipment, apply the “Service Disconnect” label(s)
near the disconnect handle(s). If the main breaker is installed and
the device is used as a branch panel, apply the “Main” label to the
trim near the main breaker handle. See Figure 8.
5. Install the trim using the three screws provided. For QO load
centers that are 150–225 A, single-phase, main lug devices rated
for 22,000 RMS symmetrical amperes short circuit systems, use
four screws by removing the interior trim support bracket
knockout.
6. Close the unused circuit breaker openings with the filler plates
as listed on the trim directory label.
ENERGIZING THE LOAD CENTER
1. Before energizing the load center, turn OFF (O) the main and all branch circuit breakers.
2. After power is turned ON to the load center, first turn ON the main circuit breaker
(if installed) and then turn ON the branch circuit breakers.
3. Rotate the door latch counterclockwise to allow engagement through the door slot.
4. Close the door until secured by the latch.
