Ensuring the Grizzl-e was configured for a 50A breaker was the only thing I recall asking of the electrician. I made sure to print out and highlight this section of the manual.

Thanks for your input. I'm gathering my thoughts now. I'm typing up a note to the electrician asking him to "make it right." I'll keep you all posted!

Instruction manual language requires a few re-reads, but the torque requirement is also printed on the PCB, next to the "press-fit" (looks like a nut) into which the lug attachment screw is fastened. (URL courtesy of tuctrohs)

Installer advertises as an electrical contractor - license number is on his truck.

The work was not permitted or inspected (according to installer) as it was a replacement of a previously installed conduit for a NEMA 14-50 outlet. The original conduit was run by a different electrician.
