I know where the breaker is for the sub panel, so I can turn it on.

Your valve positions look good, basically all inputs and returns are open. Turn on the power at the panel. Instructions are on the filter as well, but basically you want to:
1) Open the pump filter basket lid and fill with water. Then close it back. The lid is hard to open, you might need to bang it with a 2x4 / rubber mallet, etc. to get it to rotate.
2) On the top of the filter, twist the pressure gauge assembly. This opens it to purge the air. Once the pump is running and water is flowing out, you will close this.
3) Go over the the pump and open the lid. It should be lit up.
4) Press the "1" button...I can't remember but you may also need to hit the start/stop button. The pump should start at full RPM's the first time it is turned on. It will start up high to prime itself. If anything goes crazy like water isn't being pulled into the basket, etc. after 10-20s then you can hit the start/stop button to shut it off. It should also shut itself down if it doesn't prime after about 30s.
5) Once water is flowing out, close the pressure gauge valve you opened in step 2.
6) Adjust the RPM up/down on the keypad until you are at 2400RPM. This is a good speed to run at the first 72hrs.

Ok, that all makes sense. I'm not sure what each valve controls, as they aren't labeled. I have bubblers that aren't completely installed. Also, they put a return eyeball in my vac line I let - I'm assuming I can remove this somehow and put my vaclock wall fitting in its place?

Thank you!!!

I think I would want to shut the bubblers off, if I can figure out what controls them.

Thanks! He's on his way over, so we will see how it goes & I will be sure to show him my awesome test kit!

My numbers are getting better. My CYA is at 30 with 1 jug of liquid gold. I added another just now. Will around 60 be high enough, or should I shoot for 80? Salt cell can start in 30 days.
 
You might want to keep your CYA level lower until the PB release the water chemistry to you. They might hold the old 1-3 ppm FC max and if you have 60 CYA you may regret it.

Your natural evaporation at night will drop your water temperatures. You will find it will balance at around 88 - 90 F. That is what our pool settles at here in Laughlin.
