This panel is set up as a sub panel because the neutral and ground bars are not connected through a bonding screw.

We will use a screwdriver and not a drill to secure all electrical components.

This panel also has plug on neutral which AFCI and GFCI breakers to connect to.

Main breaker should be installed with retainer clip first.

Install the two breakers second.

Notice the shape of the plastic of the breaker will line up and hook under the interior plastic.

Also, notice the clip needs to get on plug on neutral. Don't force it on and bend it. Needs firm pressure but don't force!!!!

Clip should be wrapped around the plug on neutral. Put pressure on the opposite side attach to the bus bar.
