3. Slide the battery under the rubber air in duct until it drops into
the holding well in the generator base. It may be necessary
to gently lift up the bottom edge of the rubber air in duct to
allow the battery to pass underneath until it drops into its final
location.
4. Once the battery is in place double check that the rubber air in
duct has not been displaced and is still fully connected at both
ends.
AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS
  Utility voltage is potentially leathal. It is
strongly recommened that the electrical por-
tion of this installation be performed by a
qualified electrician.
NEC ARC FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER REQUIREMENTS
Local code enforcement may require that AFCI’s be incorporated
into the transfer switch distribution panel. The Transfer Switch
provided with this generator has a distribution panel that will
accept AFCI’s.
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 Transfer
Switch distribution panel.
UTILITY CONNECTIONS
1. Install the Automatic Transfer Switch as close to the home
main distribution panel as possible. The Automatic Transfer
Switch requires to be electrically supplied from the main
distribution panel via a 50A 2-pole branch circuit breaker (Not
Provided).
2. Connect the utility supply from the 50A 2-pole circuit breaker
in the main distribution panel to the terminals in the transfer
switch marked – Utility Source Connection.
NOTE:
Make sure the 50A Circuit Breaker remains OPEN or OFF at this
time.
3. The automatic transfer switch incorporates the emergency
load distribution panel. These are the circuits that will be
powered by the generator during a power outage.
4. The home owner must determine which circuits in the main
distribution panel should be powered by the generator. The
chosen circuit wires both Hot and Neutral should be moved
from the main distribution panel to the emergency load
distribution panel.
NOTE:
Only identically rated circuits can be moved; i.e move a 15A
circuit to a 15A circuit. DO NOT move a 20A circuit to a 15A
circuit.
