Section 1: Safety Rules & General Information

General Rules

DANGER
Loss of life. Property damage. Installation must always
comply with applicable codes, standards, laws and
regulations. Failure to do so will result in death
or serious injury.
DANGER
Electrical backfeed. Use only approved switchgear to
isolate generator when electrical utility is the primary
power source. Failure to do so will result in death,
serious injury, and equipment damage.
WARNING
Follow all safety precautions in the Owner's
Manual, Installation Guidelines manual and other
documents included with your equipment.
Refer to NFPA 70E for safety equipment required
when working with a live system.
Never energize a new system without opening all
disconnects and breakers.
Always consult your local code for additional
requirements for the area in which the unit is being
installed.
Improper installation can result in personal injury and
damage to the generator. It may also result in the
warranty being suspended or voided. All the instructions
listed below must be followed including location
clearances and pipe sizes.

Before You Begin

Contact the local 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 job.
Carefully read and follow all of the 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 understood, contact an Independent
Authorized Service Dealer for assistance.
Fully comply with all relevant NEC, NFPA and
OSHA standards as well as all federal, state and
local building and electric codes. As with any
generator, this unit must be installed in accordance
with current NFPA 37 and NFPA 70 standards as
4
well as any other federal, state, and local codes for
minimum distances from other structures.
Verify the capacity of the natural gas meter or the
LP tank in regards to providing sufficient fuel for
both the generator and other household and
operating appliances.

NEC Requirements

Local code enforcement may require that Arc Fault
Circuit Interrupters (AFCIs) be incorporated into the
transfer switch distribution panel. The Transfer Switch
provided with this generator has a distribution panel that
will accept AFCIs (pre-wired transfer switches only).

Siemens Part No. Q115AF - 15A or Q120AF - 20A can
be obtained from a local electrical wholesaler and will
simply replace any of the single pole circuit breakers
supplied in the pre-wired transfer switch distribution
panel.
