Owner’s Manual for Stationary Industrial Generators 17
3.6.1— Manual Engine Startup and Transfer
If the unit is equipped with a control panel other than the H-100, refer to the applicable documentation for that panel.
For additional and specific information about any transfer switch connected to the generator, refer to the applicable
transfer switch manual as well.
In order to manually transfer load from the utility source to the generator (emergency source):
1. With the generator OFF, and the generator Main Line Circuit Breaker in the OFF (OPEN) position, turn OFF or
disconnect the utility power circuit to the transfer switch, using the means provided (such as the utility source
main line circuit breaker or other means of disconnect).
2. Set the transfer handle to its EMERGENCY (STANDBY/GENERATOR) position with load circuits connected to
the emergency (generator) power supply.
3. Set the generator’s main line circuit breaker to its OFF (OPEN) position.
4. Start the generator.
5. Allow the engine to stabilize and warm up.
6. Check all applicable instrument and gauge readings. When certain that all readings are correct, set the emer-
gency generator’s Main Line Circuit Breaker to its ON (CLOSED) position.
7. Load circuits are now powered by the stationary emergency generator.
3.6.2— Re-Transfer and Shutdown
To manually transfer the load back to the utility power source and shut down the generator:
1. Set the stationary emergency generator’s main line circuit breaker to its OFF (OPEN) position.
2. Make sure utility power to the transfer switch is OFF (open the utility disconnect).
3. Manually move the transfer switch handle to its UTILITY (NORMAL) position, i.e., load circuits connected to the
utility.
4. Turn ON the utility power supply to the transfer switch using the means provided (such as the utility power source
main line circuit breaker).
5. Allow the generator to run at no-load for five to ten minutes to stabilize internal temperatures.
6. Shut down the generator.
