Generac cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might
involve a hazard. The warnings in this manual, and on tags and
decals affixed to the unit are, therefore, not all-inclusive. If using a
procedure, work method or operating technique the manufacturer
does not specifically recommend, ensure that it is safe for others.
Also make sure the procedure, work method or operating tech-
nique utilized does not render the transfer switch unsafe.
Throughout this publication, and on tags and decals affixed to the
generator, DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE blocks are
used to alert personnel to special instructions about a particular
operation that may be hazardous if performed incorrectly or care-
lessly. Observe them carefully. Their definitions are as follows:
DANGER
After this heading, read instructions that, if not
strictly complied with, will result in serious per-
sonal injury, including death, or property damage.
After this heading, read instructions that, if not
strictly complied with, may result in personal injury
or property damage.
After this heading, read instructions that, if not
strictly complied with, could result in damage to
equipment and/or property.
NOTE:
After this heading, read explanatory statements that require
special emphasis.
These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards that they
indicate. Common sense and strict compliance with the special
instructions while performing the service are essential to prevent-
ing accidents.
Four commonly used safety symbols accompany the DANGER,
WARNING and CAUTION blocks. The type of information each
indicates follows:

This symbol points out important safety informa-
tion that, if not followed, could endanger personal
safety and/or property of others.

This symbol points out potential explosion hazard.

This symbol points out potential fire hazard.

This symbol points out potential electrical shock
hazard.

GENERAL HAZARDS

Any AC generator that is used for backup power if a NORMAL •
(UTILITY) power source failure occurs, must be isolated from
the NORMAL (UTILITY) power source by means of an approved
transfer switch. Failure to properly isolate the NORMAL and
STANDBY power sources from each other may result in injury
or death to electric utility workers, due to backfeed of electrical
energy.
Improper or unauthorized installation, operation, service or •
repair of the equipment is extremely dangerous and may result
in death, serious personal injury, or damage to equipment and/
or personal property.
Extremely high and dangerous power voltages are present inside •
an installed transfer switch. Any contact with high voltage ter-
minals, contacts or wires will result in extremely hazardous,
and possibly LETHAL, electric shock. DO NOT WORK ON THE
TRANSFER SWITCH UNTIL ALL POWER VOLTAGE SUPPLIES
TO THE SWITCH HAVE BEEN POSITIVELY TURNED OFF.
Competent, qualified personnel should install, operate and ser- •
vice this equipment. Adhere strictly to local, state and national
electrical and building codes. When using this equipment,
comply with regulations the National Electrical Code (NEC),
CSA Standard; C22.1 Canadian Electric Code and Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have established.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read the following information carefully before attempting to install, operate or service this equip-
ment. Also read the instructions and information on tags, decals, and labels that may be affixed to the
transfer switch. Replace any decal or label that is no longer legible.

DANGER! Connection of a generator to an electrical system normally supplied by an electric utility
shall be by means of suitable transfer equipment so as to isolate the electric system from utility dis-
tribution system when the generator is operating (Article 701 Legally Required Standby Systems or
Article 702 Optional Standby Systems, as applicable). Failure to isolate electric system by these
means may result in damage to generator and may result in injury or death to utility workers due to
backfeed of electrical energy.
