1) Turn off main switch
2) Connect HV (grid charger) power supply cables to HV connections
3) Turn on Power supply
4) Turn ON main switch
5) verify current

Is this correct?
Yep, but step #3 won't do anything until step #4 is done.

Just keep in mind, the big battery terminals aren't energized unless the key is in the ON position. So you'll have to attach one leg of the charger to the far side of the HV contactor. Then make sure the battery is in a safe location like in its box in the back of the car with the lid closed before you turn the main switch to ON.

Let us know how it goes.
