I cannot find the issue that explained how to run the ground and common wires in a subbox. I have checked the index under every possible title that I can think of. Can anyone help?

Feed the subpanel with 4-wire cable sufficient for the load.
Remove the bonding screw between neutral busbar and case, and run the grounding conductor (bare wire) from the grounding busbar back to the main panel ground.
Connecting The Sub-Feed
To The Sub-Panel:
1. The hot wires (red and black) are connected to the hot bus bars.
2. The neutral (white) wire is connected to the large lug on the neutral bus bar.
3. The ground wire (bare copper) is connected to the ground bus.
