pole breaker installed in the main breaker panel, to the breaker
labeled L2 in the Sun Tie XR.
5. Connect the ground wire (green or bare copper) from the ground bar
in the main breaker panel, to the ground bar in the lower section of the
Sun Tie XR.
6. Ensure all connections are correctly wired and properly torqued.
7. Torque wires according to the following values.
