service.

1.3 Electrical Shock and Arc Flash Can Cause Severe

Personal Injury or Death

High voltage in transfer switch components presents serious shock hazards that can result in severe

personal injury or death. Read and follow these suggestions:

• The Operator must always keep the transfer switch covers installed.

• Make sure only authorized personnel remove the covers.

• All installation, service, and adjustments to the transfer switch must be performed only by an

electrician or authorized service representative.

1.3.1 Utility Supply and Isolation

It is the sole responsibility of the customer to provide AC power conductors for connection to load

devices and the means to isolate the AC input to the terminal box; these must comply with local

electrical codes and regulations. Refer to the wiring diagram supplied with the generator set.

NOTICE

Local electrical codes and regulations (for example, the National Electrical Code or the Canadian

Electrical Code) may require the installation of a disconnect means for the generator set, either

on the generator set or where the generator set conductors enter a facility.

The utility disconnecting device is not provided as part of the generator set or automatic transfer switch,

and Cummins Inc. accepts no responsibility for providing the means of isolation.

1.3.2 Utility-to-Generator Set Applications

If the cabinet must be opened for any reason:

1. Press the stop button on the local control at the generator set.

2. Turn off AC power supplying the battery charger and all accessories.

3. Disconnect the starting batteries of the generator set or sets, removing the ground (-) lead first.
