Maintenance Tips
- Ensure enclosure door is fully closed and latched to protect from weather
- Inspect seals and gaskets regularly to maintain weather resistance (outdoor-rated protection)
- Check for moisture, rust, or corrosion inside the panel after heavy rain or storms
- Keep breakers firmly seated and terminals properly tightened (power off first)
- Avoid debris buildup inside or around the enclosure
- Do not block airflow around the panel to prevent heat accumulation
- Verify all circuits are balanced and not overloaded
- Periodically have a licensed electrician inspect for safety and code compliance
- Replace damaged breakers or components immediately to maintain reliability
