5. Bedrading: Connect the circuit wires to the appropriate terminals on the circuit breaker. For the BD20/20, connect the two hot wires to the respective screw terminals. Refer to Figure 3.3 for recommended torque specifications for wire gauges (14-10 AWG: 20 in-lbs, 8 AWG: 25 in-lbs, 6-4 AWG: 27 in-lbs).
6. Veilige verbindings: Tighten the terminal screws to the specified torque to ensure a secure and safe electrical connection.
7. Panel Reassembly: Replace the electrical panel cover, ensuring all screws are tightened.
8. Kragherstel: Turn the main breaker back ON at the service panel.
9. Toets: Test the circuit protected by the newly installed breaker to confirm proper operation.

5. Bedryfsinstruksies

• Om aan te sit: Push the red toggle(s) firmly to the "ON" position.
• Om af te sit: Push the red toggle(s) firmly to the "OFF" position.
• To Reset a Tripped Breaker: First, push the toggle(s) completely to the "OFF" position. Then, push the toggle(s) firmly to the "ON" position. If the breaker immediately trips again, there may be a persistent fault in the circuit that requires professional attention.

6. Onderhoud
