,_ WARNING: GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
1. A licensed electrician or qualified professional must
install the generator manual transfer switch.
2. During installation, the installer is required to remove
the cover panel of the house load center.
'_/_ To reduce the risk of electrical shock, the main circuit
breaker must be turned OFF while the load center
cover panel is removed.
3. Always place the manual transfer switch circuit break-
ers in the OFF position before connecting the generator
to the system.
4. BEFORE starting the generator, plug the power cord
from the generator into the inlet box outside the house.
BEFORE disconnecting the power cord from the inlet
box, shut the generator OFE
GENERATOR COMPATIBILITY
Only use a generator that is factory equipped with the correct
NEMA 4-prong receptacle. DO NOT use a generator equipped
with a 3-prong 240V receptacle.
OPERATION
The manual transfer switch is equipped with two sets of cir-
cuit breakers ("GEN" and "LINE") and a selection switch.
The "GEN" circuit breakers provide power from the genera-
tor to the load devices wired to the manual transfer switch.
The "LINE" circuit breakers provide utility power from the
house load center circuit breakers to the load devices wired
to the manual transfer switch.
The selection switch allows the circuit breakers for either
the generator power "GEN" or the utility power "LINE" to be
turned on to provide power to the selected house loads.
The manual transfer switch will not allow utility line power
and generator power to be connected to a load device at
the same time.
A
WARNING: Any device having a test operation that
is to be performed by the owner should NOT be
tested while both the utility power and generator
power are operating at the same time.
If a multiwire circuit having a shared neutral wire
exists, inadvertent overloading of the neutral wire
may occur.
Utility line power being restored while the generator power
is being used will not affect the generator. When utility
power is restored, follow the Switch to Utifity Powerinstruc_
tions.
_, ARNING: To prevent accidental electrical connec-
tion when operating the selection switch, ALL of the
manual transfer switch circuit breakers must be
placed in the OFF position.
SWITCH TO GENERATOR POWER:
,_ WARNING: Ensure the generator is outdoors, in
proper working condition and connected to the inlet
box.
1. Start the generator following procedures provided from
the generator manufacturer.
2. Ensure the inlet box circuit breaker is in the ON posi-
tion. Refer to Figure 1.
3. Place ALL of the utility "LINE" circuit breakers (A) in the
OFF position. Refer to Figure 2.
