3. With all branch circuit breakers still OFF, switch the main
breaker ON. The load shed contactor should automatically
move DOWN to the closed position, verifying that the load
shedding switch is working properly.
4. If not, switch OFF the main breaker, make sure all breakers
and both contactors are in their correct positions and repeat
the test.
5. Make sure that both the main breaker and the primary sub-
panel breaker are closed (ON), all branch circuit breakers
are open (OFF) and that the contactors for both the transfer
switch and non-essential load shed switch are in the UTILITY
position.
6. With the generator’s main breaker OFF, place the mode switch
in MANUAL to start the engine.
7. For all models except the 8 and 10kW check to be sure that
output voltage from the generator is correct. If line-to-line
voltage is not approximately 240 volts, refer to the generator
Owner’s Manual for the proper adjustment procedure. 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.
8. On all models, make sure line-to-line voltage on the control
wires ( N1 and N2) is correct.
9. Using the mode switch, place the generator in AUTO. If utility
power is still present, the generator will shut down.
10. Switch the generator’s main breaker ON. The generator is now
ready for automatic operation.
11. Shut OFF utility power at the transfer switch. The generator
should start, and after a brief delay, the transfer contactor
should move to the generator position.
