G 25 Operationwc_tx000137gb.fm 452.29 Remote/Transfer SwitchWhen the generator is used as a stand-by power supply, it must beequipped with a device which isolates it from the utility’s distributionsystem.Failure to isolate the generator from the utility’s electricaldistribution system could cause output from the generator tobackfeed into the utility lines and cause injury or death to utilityworkers!The same is true if using the generator as a backup to some other typeof power supply system.A transfer switch is designed to transfer electrical loads from thenormal power source (utility) to the emergency power source(generator) when normal voltage falls below a prescribed level.The transfer switch automatically returns the load back to the normalsource when power is restored back to operating levels.Installation of a transfer switch or other type of remote starting deviceis the responsibility of the generator user. Installation of such devicesmust be performed by a qualified electrician following all directionssupplied by the manufacturer of the switch. If attaching generator to apower supply normally serviced by a utility company, notify the utilitycompany and check local and state regulations. Familiarize yourselfwith all instructions and warning labels supplied with the switch.The bond bar connecting the neutral and ground lugs may need to beremoved for stand-by power applications. Check with NEC and localregulations for compliance requirements.When using the generator as a stand-by or substitute power supply,make sure the voltage and phase rotation of the line connectionsmatch those of the utility lines, or of any other power source normallyused. Failure to match phase rotation and voltage may causeequipment connected to the generator to operate incorrectly!This could create unsafe operating conditions.Lethal voltage is always present in the transfer switch once it has beenproperly installed!WARNINGWARNINGDANGER
