3. Insert the regulator through the hole in the black box of the solar panel and tighten down the gray nut. Be sure the white gasket is between the regulator and the outside of the black box. Rotate the regulator by hand little by little while holding the gray nut with an adjustable wrench. Be sure the regulator is screwed tightly in place.

4. Using the small flathead screwdriver, connect the red wire from the regulator to the back of pin 4. Connect the yellow wire to the front of pin 3. Twist the black wire from the solar cable and the black wire from the regulator and connect them both to the front of pin 2.

Overall good instructions. In Step 4 the instruction are missing the pin number for the black wire. “Twist the black wire from the solar cable and the black wire from the regulator and connect them both to the front of pin.” Should be pin 2.
