READ THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY. This manual has been prepared to familiarize personnel involved with the installation of transfer switches with the manufacturer's installation requirements. Information and instructions contained herein are not intended to replace or supersede, local, state, or national safety, electrical, and building codes pertaining to such installations. Applicable laws, codes, and standards must always take precedence over the recommendations contained herein. Always check with the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for the codes or standards that apply.
Only authorized dealers or qualified, competent installation contractors or electricians thoroughly familiar with applicable codes, standards, and regulations should install this standby electric power system. The installation must be in strict compliance with all codes, standards, and regulations.
It is not intended that this manual be used by any unqualified person for the purpose of installing a transfer switch. Installation, inspection, and testing of the system must be attempted only by competent, qualified electricians or installation contractors who are familiar with the equipment and with all installation codes and requirements.
It would be impossible to provide details for every installation configuration. For this reason, much of the information in this manual is general in nature. Illustrations of typical installations are not intended to serve as specific installation plans, but may be used in the planning and design process when considering the selection and purchase of a generator set for standby power applications. Always have the unit specific drawings and manuals on hand before beginning any installation.
CAUTION!
If a portable generator is used to power electrical load circuits normally powered by a utility power source, it is required by code to install a transfer switch. The transfer switch must effectively isolate the electrical system from the utility distribution system when the generator is operating. Failure to isolate an electrical system by such means may result in damage to the generator and may also result in injury or even death to utility power workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.
After the transfer switch has been installed, do nothing that might render the installation in non-compliance with such codes, standards, and regulations. Every effort was made to ensure that the information in this manual was both accurate and complete at the time it was released. However, the manufacturer reserves the right to change, alter, or otherwise improve this product at any time without notice.

- When working on this equipment, remain alert at all times. Never work on the equipment when physically or mentally fatigued.
- Inspect the portable generator regularly, and promptly repair or replace any worn or damaged components using only factory approved parts and procedures.
1.4 — Electrical Hazards
- All generators produce dangerous electrical voltages and can cause fatal electrical shock. Utility power delivers extremely high and dangerous voltages to the transfer switch as well as the generator when it is in operation. Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals and other connections. Ensure all covers, guards, and barriers are in place, and that they are properly secured and/or locked before operation. If work must be done around an operating unit, stand on an insulated, dry surface to reduce potential shock hazard.
- Do not handle any kind of electrical device while standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet. DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY RESULT.
- If it is necessary to stand on metal or concrete while installing, operating, servicing, or repairing this equipment, lay down a dry wooden platform and cover with insulated mats before beginning.
- Verify that the portable generator is properly grounded.
- Wire gauge sizes of electrical wiring, cables, and cord sets must be adequate to handle the maximum electrical current (ampacity) to which it will be subjected.
- Before installing or servicing equipment, verify that all power voltage supplies are positively turned off at their sources. Failure to do so can result in hazardous and possibly fatal electrical shock.
- Connecting a portable generator to an electrical system normally supplied by an electric utility is by means of the transfer switch so as to isolate the generator's electric system from the electric utility distribution system when the portable generator is operating. Failure to isolate the two electric system power sources from each other by such means will result in damage to the portable generator and may also result in injury or death to utility power workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.
- In case of accident caused by electric shock, immediately shut down the source of electrical power. If this is not possible, attempt to free the victim from the live conductor. AVOID DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM. Use a nonconducting implement, such as a dry rope or board, to free the victim from the live conductor. If the victim is unconscious, apply first aid and get immediate medical help.
- Do not wear jewelry when working on this equipment. Jewelry can conduct electricity resulting in electric shock, or may get caught in moving parts resulting in injury.
1.5 — Fire Hazards
- Keep a fire extinguisher near the portable generator and transfer switch at all times. Keep the extinguisher properly charged and be familiar with its use. Direct any questions to the local fire department.
NOTE: DO NOT use any carbon tetra-chloride type fire extinguishers. These fire extinguishers emit toxic fumes and the liquid can damage wiring insulation.
1.6 — Explosion Hazards
- Do not smoke around the generator. Immediately wipe up any fuel or oil spills. Ensure that no combustible materials are left in the generator compartment, or on or near the generator, as FIRE or EXPLOSION may result. Keep the area surrounding the generator clean and free of debris.
- All types of fuels are potentially FLAMMABLE and/or EXPLOSIVE and must be handled with care. Inspect the fuel system frequently and correct any leaks immediately. Be sure fuel supply lines are properly installed, purged, and leak tested before placing the generator set into service.
1.7 — Standards Index

3.1 — Transferring From Utility Power to Generator Power
⚠️ DANGER!
NEVER run portable generators indoors or in garages, basements, or sheds. Portable generators should always be used at least 5 feet away from windows, doors, vents, or any other opening. Carbon Monoxide (CO) from a generator is deadly and can kill you in minutes. Read and follow all generator directions before use.
- Move generator outdoors. Be sure your generator is located at least 5 feet from windows, doors or other openings to prevent dangerous carbon monoxide fumes from entering your home.
- Insert the male plug of the Power Cord into the correct outlet on the generator.
- Plug in the female connector of the Power Cord to the inlet (if provided) located on the bottom of the Transfer switch.
- Turn OFF all circuit breakers in the Transfer switch and Main load center.
- Start the generator outdoors, following the procedures described in the generator's Owner's Manual furnished by the manufacturer.
- Turn ON the GENERATOR MAIN circuit breaker in the Transfer switch.
- Turn ON individual circuit breakers in the Transfer switch and the Main Load Center up to the continuous wattage rating of your generator. If the Generator Main breaker trips, you have overloaded the generator. Some circuit breakers must be turned OFF to avoid damage to the generator or loads being connected.
DANGER
Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell.
NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors and windows are open.
Only use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors, and vents.
