form 12-s green tag meter [RE-wrenches]

[Randy Brooks]

Todd,

One thing the OutBack diagram does not mention is that the meter base  
requires an additional neutral socket for the 5th meter leg.  If you  
meter base does not have one, that may be the problem.  You can get a  
5th socket adapter for your meter base from the meter supplier too.

take care,
