Generator Connections
NOTE: Control wiring may be already wired on pre-wired
generators. If so, tighten the 5 foot (1.5 meter) whip
conduit inside of the enclosure. If not, wiring must be in
accordance with local jurisdiction and codes.
1. Remove the appropriate main AC/control wiring
knock-out plug from the back of the generator.
2. Install the conduit and main AC and control wires
between the generator and the transfer switch. See
Figure 2-6 for knockout locations (verify specific
transfer switch wiring/connections per model).
NOTE: These wiring connections may be present on
pre-wired models.
NOTE: This wiring can be run in the same conduit if the
appropriate insulation rated wire is used, or if the
provided sleeve is used to separate the high and low
voltage control wires.
3. Seal the conduit at the generator and in
compliance with any codes.
4. Strip the insulation from the ends of the wires. Do
not remove excessive insulation.
5. To connect the control wires, push down on the
spring loaded connection point with a flat head
screwdriver, insert wire and release.
NOTE: No wire insulation should be in the connection
point, only bare wire.
