DANGER
Before connecting this generator to any
building’s electrical system, a
licensed
electrician
must install an
isolation
(transfer) switch.
Serious damage to
the building’s electrical system may occur
without this transfer switch.
NOTICE
When connecting the generator to a isolation (transfer)
switch,
ALWAYS
have power applied to the generator’s
internal battery charger. This will ensure that the engine
will not fail due to a dead battery.
NOTICE

switch is placed
in the
AUTO
mode, the generator will
automatically
start
in the event of commercial power falling below a
prescribed level by means of a contact closure that is
generated automatically by a transfer switch.
In this position (
AUTO)
, should an outage occur, the
automatic transfer switch (ATS) will start the generator
automatically via the generator's auto-start contacts
connected to the ATS's start contacts.
Please refer to your ATS installation manual for further
instructions for the correct installation of the auto-start
contacts of the generator to the ATS.

AUTO
mode,
remember the generator can start up at any time without
warning.
