WARNING:
Procedures in this section may cause power alarms to be
issued temporarily. Notify the alarm reporting center before

3. Locate the intended new breaker or fuse panel. Blank
panels must be removed. Some can be reused to cover
empty space after installation. Ensure that breakers are
switched to the OFF position or that fuses are not loaded.
4. Install the load leads by following item on Load Wiring,
above.
5. Mark the new circuit on the distribution cover panel label.
6. For safety, mount the dc distribution front cover before
