If this transfer switch is used as the main service disconnect, it is imperative that all circuit breakers in the transfer
switch AND the Main Load Center in the house be turned OFF when running the system from the generator. Then,
turn on only the breakers that the generator can handle at any one time. Check the generator “continuous” wattage
rating to determine the total wattage of connected load. It may be necessary as well as desirable to turn ON and
OFF different loads/breakers as needed during an actual power outage.
NOTE: ON NEUTRAL BONDED GENERATORS: Some portable generators are intended for use on jobsites and are subject to OSHA
regulations for GFCI protection on all receptacles. These "contractor grade" generators have their neutral wire bonded to the ground
wire to pass OSHA inspection. When connected to a transfer switch, this may cause nuisance tripping of the generator GFCI breaker.
When using a neutral bonded generator to power a house or building through a transfer switch, consult the generator manufacturer or
local authorized service dealer to determine if the neutral bond wire on the generator can be disabled without voiding the warranty. If it
can be disabled, then no modifications to your transfer switch installation are needed. If the neutral bond cannot be removed or voids
the warranty, you must install a Switched Neutral Kit (SNK, Generac model 6297) 30 Amp accessory with your transfer switch 6382.
NOTE: A Switched Neutral Kit for transfer switch 6335 is not available.
NOTE: Removal of the neutral bond should be performed by an authorized generator service dealer or qualified electrician. If the neu-
tral bond is removed, the generator will no longer pass OSHA inspection for job sites.
