NOTE: Wiring must be performed in accordance with local jurisdiction and codes.
1. Remove the appropriate Main AC/Control Wiring knock-out plug at back of generator.

(verify specific transfer wiring and connections per model), see Figure 2-5.
NOTE: This wiring can be run in the same conduit if the appropriate insulation rated wire is used.

4. Strip insulation from wire ends. 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.
