2. If the generator set is connected to an existing 

  distribution system, a fully isolated manual transfer switch 

  must be installed. The transfer switch prevents damage to 

  the generator and the other circuit components if main 

  line power is restored while the generator is connected. 

  Installing a transfer switch also permits the use of normal 

 fusing.

3.Many homes and construction sites are wired for at least 

  60 to 100 Amp entrance service, much greater than the 

  capacity of this portable generator. When installing 

  the generator at these sites, a secondary emergency 

  distribution panel may have to be installed. The 

  emergency distribution panel must be installed by a 

  licensed electrician according to all applicable codes. 

  The electrician will move the critical circuits to be 

  powered during the outage to the emergency panel. 

  Keep in mind only a limited amount of amperage is 

  available from the generator set. Some circuit breakers 

  may still have to be turned off to prevent an overload on 

  the generator during the initial start up. See the 

  nameplate on your generator for the amperage 

  capabilities of your unit.

CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

Failure to properly limit and balance the load applied to 
the generator will cause the generator to produce low 
voltage and may damage the engine generator set. It may 
also cause severe damage to the loads connected to the 
generator at that time. Improper loading of the generator 
set constitutes abuse and will not be covered by warranty.
