1A-29G50/G70/G85 OPERATION 1A1.36 Remote/Transfer SwitchWhen the generator is used as a standby powersupply, it must be equipped with a device whichisolates it from the utility’s distribution system.Failure to isolate the generator from the utility’selectrical distribution system could cause out-put from the generator to backfeed into theutility lines and cause injury or death to utilityworkers!The same is true if using the generator as a back-up to some other type of power supply system.A transfer switch is designed to transfer electrical loadsfrom the normal power source (utility) to the emergencypower source (generator) when normal voltage fallsbelow a prescribed level.The transfer switch automatically returns the load back tothe normal source when power is restored back tooperating levels.When using the generator as a standby or substitutepower supply, make sure the voltage and phaserotation of the line connections match those of theutility lines, or of any other power source normallyused. Failure to match phase rotation and volt-age may cause equipment connected to the gen-erator to operate incorrectly! This could createunsafe operating conditions.Lethal voltage is always present in the transferswitch once it has been properly installed!WARNINGInstallation of a transfer switch or other type of remotestarting device is the responsibility of the generator user.Installation of such devices must be performed by aqualified electrician following all directions supplied bythe manufacturer of the switch. If attaching generator toa power supply normally serviced by a utility company,notify the utility company and check local and stateregulations. Familiarize yourself with all instructions andwarning labels supplied with the switch.DANGERDANGER
