Prewired MNPV8 Installation Instructions (continued) Installation Note: The plastic dead front fits very tight. You must first remove the lid in order to remove the deadfront. To remove the deadfront: Pry off the lid as shown using something like a screwdriver as a lever. The dead front then lifts out easily. The installation of a PV combiner is fairly straight forward. Select the location to install your combiner first. Some systems have the PV modules located close to the inverters.
