Manual Transfer Switch Installation:
1. Ensure that there is a proper space next to the house
load center toproperly mount the manual transfer switch.
The manual transfer switchcan be mounted either to the
right or to the leftof the load center. Refer to Figure 3.
IMPORTANT: After locating the place to mount the manual
transfer switch, rotatethe flexible conduit connector (A) on the
bottom or the manual transfer switchto either the left or right.
The connector rotates past the rear edge of the manual trans-
fer switch box and cannot be rotated properly after the man-
ual transfer switchis mounted to the wall. Toavoid damage to
the wires in the flexible conduit, Do not rotate more than 180°.
NOTE: The flexible conduit connector is designed to rotate
on the manual transfer switch box without opening the box.
After installation the conduit connector will remain loose.

2. Secure the manual transfer switch to the wall.
3. Place the load center main circuit breaker (B) in the
OFF position.
4. Locate an appropriate 1" knockout on the load center.
Wires on the utility line side of the main circuit breakers
remain electrically "hot". Contact with these wires must be
avoided as dangerous or fatal electrical shock will occur.
5. Remove the knockout previously located on the load
center. Feed all wires from the manual transfer switch
conduit through the knockout hole. Secure the flexible
conduit end connector to the load center.
6. Install the ground (Grn) wire into the load center ground
terminal strip. Refer to Figure 7.
7. Install the neutral lead (Wht) into the load center neutral
terminal strip.
NOTE: Figure 7 shows a typical house load center. The neu-
tral and ground terminal strips may be separate, tied
together, or there may be only one terminal strip. Follow local
and national electrical codes when installing and securing
the neutral and ground wires from the manual transfer switch.
Junction Box and Inlet Box Installation:
1. Route the flexible conduit on the left side of the manual
transfer switch to the desired location to mount a junc-,
tion box. Refer to Figure 4.
2. Mount a junction box to the wall.
3. Feed the four wires from the manual transfer switch
through a knockout in the junction box and secure the
flexible conduit connector to the junction box.

4. Carefully plan a route from the junction box to the out-
door location where the inlet box will be installed.
NOTE: The conduit may be connected to the inlet box
through the back or either side. Determine where the con-
duit will be connected before routing conduit.
5. Install a (3/4") conduit from the junction box to the
desired location for the inlet box.
6. Remove the front cover of the inlet box and remove the
two (2) screws securing the inside panel assembly.
NOTE: The circuit breaker and receptacle are secured to
the inside cover. Do not remove them from the cover.
7. Mount the inlet box on the outside wall of the house.
A TTENTION: Important Mounting instructions!
The 50 amp inlet box must be mounted a minimum
of 30 inches above the horizontal surface adjacent
to the mounting wall.

Secure the conduit from the junction box to the inlet box
in a manner that meets all local and national code
requirements and maintains the weather resistant
integrity of the inlet box. Use only U.L listed rain tight or
liquid tight conduit hubs. Install hubs and conduit
according to the hub manufacturer's instructions.
Run four electrical wires from the inlet box to the junc-
tion box. Check local and national electrical codes to
determine proper wire gauge.
