Wire the Circuit

To wire the circuit, complete the following steps:

  1. Turn off the circuit breaker to the 240 V outlet.

    2. RISK OF SHOCK. Do not restore power to the outlet until installation is complete. Failure to follow these instructions could result in shock or electrocution.

  2. Install a circuit:

    • For a 40 or 50 A plug-in installation, wire the circuit with the appropriate 6-50 or 14-50 outlet. Install the outlet with the ground facing up.

    • For a hardwired installation, provide a listed conduit with wiring to the bottom or rear 19 mm (3/4 in) knockout for AC input. Seal the unused knockout with the plug provided.

  3. Affix the label with the appropriate rating to the circuit in the panel.

  4. Ensure power is off to the circuit at the panel before proceeding.
