Installation of a transfer switch or other type of remote starting device is the responsibility of the generator user.
Installation of such devices must be performed by following all directions supplied by the manufacturer of the switch. If
attaching generator to a power supply normally serviced by a utility company, notify the utility company and check local
and state regulations. Familiarize yourself with all instructions and warning labels supplied with the switch.
NOTICE
When using the generator as a stand by or substitute power supply, make sure the output voltage and phase
rotation of the generator match those of the local power utility. Improper voltage or phase rotation may
cause equipment damage or malfunction.
WARNING
It is strongly recommended that ONLY a licensed electrician perform any wiring and any related
connections to the generator. Installation should be in compliance of the National Electric Code as
well as any state or local codes or regulations. Failure to follow these procedures could result in
property damage, personal injury or death. Before any connections are attempted, make sure the
main circuit breaker and the engine start switch are in the OFF “O” position and that the negative (-)
battery cable has been disconnected from the engine starting battery.
