INSTALLATION
wARNING:
To avoid possible personal injury or equipment damage,
registered electrician or an authorized service representative
should perform installation and all service. Under no
circumstances should an unqualified person attempt to wire
into a utility circuit.
To avoid backfeeding into utility systems, isolation of the
residence electrical system is required.
Before temporary connection of the generator to the resi-
dence electrical system, turn off the main service/disconnect.
If your generator is to be used as a stand-by power source
in case of utility power failure, it should be installed by a reg-
istered electrician and in compliance with all applicable local
electrical codes.
Proper use requires that a double throw transfer switch be
installed by a licensed qualified electrician so that the building's
electrical circuits may be safely switched between utility power
and the generator's output, thereby preventing backfeed into
the power utility's electrical system.
