Product Manual

Connect a #6 AWG grounding wire (not included) from the ground connector
(8) on the generator to a grounding rod (not included) that has been driven at
least 24 inches deep into the earth. The grounding rod must be an earth-driven
copper or brass rod (electrode) which can adequately ground the generator.
After installation, check the total rated and peak wattage of the connected appliances to ensure the
generator is not overloaded. With an AGS, if the main electric supply is cut, the generator will cut
off the outside circuit and automatically start itself to provide electricity to the connected appliances.
Once the main power supply is restored, the generator will shut off itself and reconnect the circuit
automatically.
If the generator does not start, follow the troubleshooting guidelines for the
generator but do not attempt to repair the AGS connections unless you are a
certified electrician. Contact the agent who installed the AGS the
troubleshooting guidelines do not resolve the problem.
