OPERATION
To test/operate the transfer switch in the "GEN"
position:
l Make sure that the circuit breakers in the load center,
including the main breaker, are in the on position.
l Place a portable generator outside near the power inlet
box.
DANGER
operating a generator, make sure it is located in
an open, outdoor area, at least 20 ft. (6 m.) from
occupied spaces with exhaust pointed away.
l Insert the male end of the power cord into the generator's
receptacle and twist to lock.
NOTE: To remove, twist the cord counterclockwise and
remove it from the generator.
l Insert the female end of the power cord into the power
inlet box's receptacle and twist to lock.
NOTE: To remove, twist the cord counterclockwise and
remove it from the power inlet box.
l Check the generator's fuel and lubricant levels.
l Start the generator according to the generator
manufacturer's instructions. Allow the generator to
warm up for approximately 10 minutes.
l Place one of the transfer switch's circuit selectors in the
"GEN" position and monitor the load in the wattage
meter.
l Continue monitoring the wattage usage while turning
another circuit selector to the "GEN" position. Repeat
this process until all desired circuit selectors are in the
"GEN" position. Do not overload your generator.
NOTE: You do not have to engage circuit selectors in
a particular order, but the selectors should be engaged
one at a time and in such a way that the loads on both
sides of the switch remain balanced within 1000W of
each other.
NOTICE
with appliances or systems that exceed the switch
or the generator's load capacity. Exceeding the load
capacity could damage the switch, the generator
and any connected devices.
l Verify that the branch circuits are receiving generator
power and functioning normally.
l If a problem occurs, turn off the generator and turn
power off at the load center's main breaker. Contact a
qualified electrician.
