BOX MOUNTING
Surface Mounting
Fasten the box to the wall with screws or nails, using 
the pre-punched mounting holes. See Figure 3.
MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER OR MAIN LUG WIRING
1. Pull the conductors into the box. Use approved wire 
clamps, conduit bushings, or other approved methods 
to secure the conductor to the box and to prevent 
damage to the conductor insulation.
2. Connect the main and neutral conductors.
a. Install the main and neutral conductors according 
to the load center wiring diagram.
b. Connect the service ground, equipment 
grounding conductor, or both as required by local electrical code.
c. Torque each terminal to the value specified on the load center wiring diagram attached to 
the box.
3. If the main breaker load center 
is not used as a service 
entrance panel, remove the 
brass neutral bonding screw 
as shown in Figure 4.
4. Reinstall the line termination 
area barrier (for load centers 
used as service entrance 
panels). Secure barrier with 
retaining screws and torque 
screws to 35 lb-in (4 N•m).
