Installation Guide

First Step!
Contact your local building inspector or City Hall to be aware of all federal, state and local codes that could impact
the installation. Secure all required permits before starting the project.
Carefully read and follow all procedures and safety precautions detailed in the installation guide. If any portion
of the installation manual, technical manual or other factory-supplied documents is not completely under-
stood, contact your local authorized dealer for assistance.
It is extremely important to comply with all relevant NEC, NFPA and OSHA standards as well as all federal,
state and local building and electrical codes.
As with any generator, this unit must be installed in accordance with current NFPA 37 and NFPA 70 standards
as well as any other federal, state, and local codes for minimum distances from other structures. As a minimum
distance, use 24 inches from home or building.
GENERATOR LOCATION

1. Place concrete pad as close as possible to both breaker box and fuel
supply. IMPORTANT! Pre-wired control harness located inside
ATS is 9 feet long. Call for longer 20ft, 50ft and 80ft harnesses.
Leave adequate room around the area for service access. You must
CHECK LOCAL CODE for proper distance between generator and
structure! Check local code, and place high enough to keep rising
water from reaching the generator. Select an open space that will provide adequate and unobstructed air-
ow.
Electrical interference with such items as, cell phones, computers, TV’s and other electrical devices and
equipment can occur when standing close or next to running standby system.
