Installation Guide
Only qualied electricians or contractors should attempt such installations, which must comply strictly with
applicable local and state codes, standards and regulations.
Uncrating and Initial Inspection
After uncrating, carefully inspect the contents for any visible damage. Do not tilt the machine more than 30
degrees. Try to avoid transporting on uneven ground. Violent shaking and vibration during transportation may
affect the unit.
• This standby generator set is ready for installation with a weather protective enclosure that is
intended for outdoor installation use only!
• This ETL listed standby generator set may be packaged with an automatic transfer switch
(ATS).
• This ETL listed, 2-pole switch is rated at 200 AC amperes at 250 volts maximum. The 200 Amp
transfer switch is rated for indoor or outdoor use.
If this generator is used to power electrical load circuits normally powered by a utility power source, it is
required by code to install a transfer switch. The transfer switch must effectively isolate the electrical system
from the utility distribution system when the generator is operating (NEC 700, 701 & 702). Failure to isolate an
electrical system by such means will result in damage to the generator and also may result in injury or death to
utility power workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.
If any loss or damage is noted at time of delivery, have the person(s) making the delivery, note all damage on
the freight bill or afx their signature under the consignor’s memo of loss or damage.
If a loss or damage is noted after delivery, separate the damaged materials and contact the carrier for claim
procedures.
“Concealed damage” is understood to mean damage to the contents of a package that is not in evidence at the
time of delivery, but is discovered later.
To properly open the cover, press down on the center top lip and release the latch with key. If pressure is not
applied from the top, the roof may appear stuck. Always verify that the lock is released before attempting to
lift the roof.
NEC REQUIREMENTS
Local code enforcement may require that AFCIs (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters) be incorporated into the trans-
fer switch distribution panel. The Transfer Switch provided will accept AFCI’s.
Siemens P/N. Q115AF - 15A or Q120AF - 20A can be obtained from a local electrical wholesaler and will sim-
ply replace any of the single pole circuit breakers supplied in the Transfer Switch distribution panel.
