Safety Rules & General Information
6 Installation Guidelines for 60 Hz PowerPact™
Before You Begin
• Contact the local inspector or City Hall to be aware
of all federal, state and local codes which could
impact the installation. Secure all required permits
before starting the job.
• Carefully read and follow all of the procedures and
safety precautions detailed in the installation guide.
If any portion of the installation manual, technical
manual or other factory-supplied documents is not
completely understood, contact an IASD for
assistance.
• Fully comply with all relevant NEC, NFPA and
OSHA standards as well as all federal, state and
local building and electric codes. As with any
generator, this unit must be installed in accordance
with current NFPA 37 and NFPA 70 standards as
well as any other federal, state, and local codes for
minimum distances from other structures.
• Verify the capacity of the natural gas meter or the
LP tank in regards to providing sufficient fuel for
both the generator and other household and
operating appliances.
NEC Requirements
Local code enforcement may require Arc Fault Circuit
Interrupters (AFCIs) to be incorporated into the transfer
switch distribution panel. The Transfer Switch provided
with this generator has a distribution panel that will
accept AFCIs (pre-wired transfer switches only).
Siemens Part No. Q115AF - 15A or Q120AF - 20A can
be obtained from a local electrical wholesaler and will
simply replace any of the single pole circuit breakers
supplied in the pre-wired transfer switch distribution
panel.
