WARNING
INSTALLATION
WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK OR DEATH: TURN OFF
POWER SUPPLYING THIS EQUIPMENT, AND CONFIRM
POWER IS OFF, before installing, removing or servicing this
equipment.
Step 1: Enclosure Knockouts
NOTE: Before removing any knockouts from the enclosure, consult
the local electrical code to determine the knockout requirements.
a. To remove knockouts (A), first strike the center of the knockout.
b. Pry each ring (B) up, one at a time, and grip both ends with a pair
of pliers.
c. Use the pliers to bend the rings until they disconnect from the
enclosure (fig. 1).
Step 2: Enclosure Mounting
Surface Mounting
NOTE: Leviton®load centers can be inverted for bottom feed
applications.
a. Keyholes (C) at the top and bottom of the enclosure are provided
to assist in the alignment and leveling of the enclosure (fig. 2).
b. Temporary screws or nails (not provided) should be used in these
keyholes during alignment and leveling.
c. Four (x4) mounting holes (D) have been precut in the back of the
enclosure for ease of installation (fig. 2).
d. Use screws or nails (not provided) in these four (x4) mounting
holes (D) to secure the enclosure to the wall.
e. Remove the temporary screws or nails that were used to align
and level the enclosure through the keyholes (C).
Flush Mounting
NOTE:
Leviton load centers can be inverted for bottom feed applications.
a. Four (x4) mounting slots (E) have been precut on the side of the
enclosure for installation between studs.
b. Pierce the foil tape (F) on side of enclosure with a mounting
screw or nail.
c. If using 1/2 inch sheetrock, align the embossed (1/2) line with the
front of the stud to achieve optimal flush mounting (fig. 3).
d. Use the mounting slots (E) on both sides of enclosure to mount
the enclosure with screws or nails (not provided) (fig. 3).
Step 3: Phase, Neutral and Ground Conductors
WARNING: Use ONLY approved fittings and clamps to avoid
damage to wires.
a. Bring the phase wires (G), neutral (H) and ground (I) conductors
into the enclosure through the predetermined knockouts.
b. Determine whether or not the application requires the use of a
main circuit breaker (J) (fig. 4), or if main lugs (K) (fig. 5) can
be used based on the local electrical codes.

c. Connect the phase wires (G), neutral (H) and ground (I) conductors to appropriate
terminals and torque to spec in the terminations table (fig. 4 or 5).
d. If installing with a main circuit breaker (J), also install terminal covers (L) that
have been provided (fig. 6).
e. When installing this enclosure as the service entrance, the bonding strap (M)
(included) MUST BE installed (fig. 7). Torque to 20 lb-ins.
f. When installing this enclosure as a sub panel, DO NOT install the bonding strap (M).
NOTE: For Service Equipment, apply “SERVICE DISCONNECT” label (provided) to
trim, near main breaker handle.
NOTE: For Branch Equipment, apply “MAIN” label (provided) to trim, near main
breaker handle.
Step 4: Branch Circuit Breakers
WARNING: Leviton circuit breakers MUST BE used with a Leviton circuit
breaker enclosure.
a. Strip and connect the load power and load neutral wires to the load terminals (N)
and ground wire to the ground bus (O) of the circuit breaker enclosure (fig. 8).
Strip wires and torque load terminals to spec in the terminations table.
NOTE: Ensure that the main breaker is in the OFF position before installing any
branch circuit breakers.
NOTE: Ensure that all branch circuit breakers are in the OFF position before
installing into the panel.
WARNING: TO AVOID RISK OF FIRE, check all wiring and ensure all circuit breakers
are installed in the proper position before energizing panel.
b. Align the hooks and guides (Q) of the branch circuit breaker with the panel and
press until breaker snaps into place (fig. 9).
Step 5: Installing Cover (Sold separately)
a. Remove the main breaker knockout (R) if a main breaker was installed. Do not
remove in installations using the main lugs (K).
b. Twist-outs (S) must be removed for each position that contains a branch circuit
breaker.
c. To remove twist-outs (S), first strike with a screwdriver, then twist with pliers until
detached (fig. 10).
NOTE: Fill any unused open spaces in cover using filler plates
(see filler plate instructions).
d. Install door using the cover screws (provided).
e. Leviton covers contain a feature for adjustment in flush mounting applications.
In flush mount applications for covers larger than 42 spaces, dead front interlock
tabs MUST BE disengaged to allow for adjustment of dead front position(fig.11a).
Turn each adjustment screw (T) until the cover fits tightly against the circuit
breakers (fig.11b).
f. Apply circuit directory labels in the appropriate location depending on
cover/door type.
Step 6: Complete the Installation
WARNING: Before providing power to the load center, check all electrical connections
and confirm that the wiring is correct.
a. Ensure that the main and all branch circuit breakers are in the OFF position. To
energize, first turn ON the main breaker, and then turn ON each individual branch
circuit breaker.
