A. Mounting the Transfer Switch
1.
Remove the bottom wiring compartment (2 lower screws).
Position the transfer switch so that its bottom center and the
included 16 inch conduit will reach the desired knockout on
your load center. The end of the conduit whip should be lined
up with a 3/4" knockout hole on your load center (Figure 2).
2.
Mark the position of the three mounting holes with a pencil.
The bottom wiring compartment must be removed to access
the two lower mounting holes.
3.
Anchor the transfer switch to the wall with three
appropriate anchors (with a flange of at least 3/8").
NOTE: Do not attempt to bend the flexible
conduit whip beyond its structural capabilities.
B.
Connecting the Flexible Conduit Whip to
Your Load Center
1.
Set up battery-powered lighting to clearly illuminate
your work area.
2.
Turn off the main utility breaker (Figure 3).
3.
Remove the cover of your load center. Keep in mind that the
wires on the utility side of the main breaker are still live and if
contacted could cause serious injury or death. If available,
use a non-contact voltage detector to insure that the power is
off on the non-utility side of the main breaker.
4.
Remove the appropriate knockout hole in your load center
with a screwdriver and hammer. (See step A-1 above.)
5.
Insert all of the wires extending from the end of the flexible
conduit whip through the knockout hole. Install and connect
the conduit connector attached to the whip into the
knockout hole.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Even with the main power
switch turned off, the wires
on the utility side of the main
breaker are still live and
contact with them can cause
serious injury or death.
