The manufacturer 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 manu-

facturer does not specifically recommend, ensure that it is safe for 

others. Also make sure the procedure, work method or operating 

technique chosen 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:

    After this heading, read instructions that, if not 

strictly complied with, will result in serious 

personal injury, including death.

    After this heading, read instructions that, if not 

strictly complied with, could result in serious 

personal injury, including death.

    After this heading, read instructions that, if not 

strictly complied with, might result in minor or 

moderate injury.

NOTE:

After this heading, read instructions that, if not strictly complied 

with, may result in damage to equipment and/or property.

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 

information that, if not followed, could 

endanger personal safety and/or property.





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.

•  Never handle any kind of electrical device while stand-

ing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet. 

DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY RESULT.

• Remove all jewelry (such as rings, watches, bracelets, etc.) 

before working on this equipment.

 

 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!  Read the following information carefully before attempting to install, 

operate or service this equipment. 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 util-

ity shall be by means of suitable transfer equipment so as to isolate the electric system from utility 

distribution 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.
