Important Safety Instructions
General Hazards
 Any AC generator that is used for backup power if a normal (utility) power source failure occurs, must be
isolated from the normal (utility) power source by means of an approved transfer switch. Failure to properly
isolate the normal and standby power sources from each other may result in injury or death to electric utility
workers, due to back-feed of electrical power.
 Improper or unauthorized installation, operation, service or repair of the equipment is extremely dangerous and
may result in death, serious personal injury, or damage to equipment and/or personal property.
 Extremely high and dangerous power voltages are present inside an installed transfer switch. Any contact with
high voltage terminals, contacts or wires will result in extremely hazardous, and possibly lethal, electric shock.
DO NOT WORK ON THE EZ-CONNECT TRANSFER SWITCH UNTIL ALL POWER VOLTAGE SUPPLIES
TO THE SWITCH HAVE BEEN POSITIVELY TURNED OFF.
 Competent, qualified personnel should install, operate and service this equipment. Adhere strictly to local, state
and national electrical and building codes. When using this equipment, comply with regulations the National
Electrical Code (NEC), CSA Standard; C22.1 Canadian Electric Code and Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) have established.
 Keep the transfer switch enclosure door closed at all times. Only qualified personnel should be permitted
access to the switch interior.
 In case of an accident caused by electric shock, immediately shut down the source of electrical power.
Safety Tips
 Do not wait for an emergency to learn how to connect you generator and select loads to the EZ-Connect. (See
Setup Procedures for detailed information.)
 Never connect or disconnect the power cord to/from your portable generator while the generator is operating.
Turn off the portable generator and turn off all circuits in your breaker panel before connecting or disconnecting
the power cord.
 Keep the power cord stored in a dry, safe location when not in use.
 Never attempt to remove, repair, dismantle, modify, or alter the EZ-Connect once it has been installed.
CAUTION!
Always locate and operate your generator in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions as
outlined in the generator owner’s manual.
CAUTION!
Check the equipment nameplate for rated voltage. It
should be the same as the utility and generator line
voltages. Operating the equipment on improper
voltage can cause equipment damage.
