1. Switch the generator’s main circuit breaker OFF and put the
mode switch in the OFF position.
2. Make sure utility power is OFF and place all of the priority
circuit breakers in the transfer switch in the OFF position.
3. Locate the transfer handle, insert the metal end into the slot
in the main contactor assembly and pull the handle DOWN to
move the main contacts to the standby power, or generator
position.
NEVER OPERATE THE TRANSFER SWITCH
MANUALLY WHEN LOADS ARE CONNECTED.
4. Put the generator’s mode switch in MANUAL to start the engine.
Allow the engine to warm up, then switch the generator’s
main breaker to the ON position. The generator is now
supplying electricity to the transfer switch but is not carrying
any load.
5. For all models except the 8 and 10kW check to be sure that
voltage and frequency from the generator is correct. If line-
to-line voltage is not approximately 240 volts, refer to the
Owner’s Manual for the proper adjustment procedures. On all
models, if line-to-neutral voltage is not 120 volts, check the
neutral connection between the generator and transfer switch.
For 8 kW models check to be sure that the frequency from
the generator is correct. If the frequency is not approximately
60Hz, refer to the generator Owner’s Manual for the proper
adjustment procedure.
6. When finished checking the voltage, switch the generator’s
main circuit breaker OFF and put the mode switch in the OFF
position to shut down the generator.
7. Make sure the 2-pole circuit breaker installed in the main
distribution panel is in the OFF position.
8. Use the transfer handle to move the main contacts in the
transfer switch to the UP (utility position). Switch the 2-pole
breaker ON in the distribution panel.
9. Now switch the generator’s main breaker ON, and put the
mode switch in AUTO.
