Electrical – how would I hook up this 9kw heater

electric-heatelectricalheater

I have a 9kw heater I want to hook up. There is a 3×8 AWG (w/ ground) cable going to and from the heater's control panel. The cable connects to a a 40 amp breaker, with the red and black on either side and neutral connected to the neutral bus, and ground connected to the ground bar.

The diagram looks like this, presumably with the L1 L1 L2 L2 terminals taking the cable from the breaker, and the O1 O2 O3 O4 terminals taking the cable which goes out to the heater.

Which wires do I connect where?

Apparently on contacting the manufacturer you are supposed to bridge the L1s and L2s.
