Guardian Technologies 004583-0 - Manual (Page 22)

Select an area outside of your home about 10 feet away where you
can easily transport the portable generator to and from. Keep in mind
that the generator must have free air flow for proper operation and to
ensure there is no possibility for exhaust gases to build up.
2. Drive an 8-foot grounding rod into the ground to grade (so that
no part is exposed above ground).
3. Determine where the user supplied conduit will pass through the
house from inside to outside. When you are certain you have
clearance on each side of the wall, drill a small pilot hole through
the wall to mark the location. With hole saw, drill hole through the
sheathing and siding (Figures 25 & 26).

4. Measure the lengths of wire and conduit needed to reach the
Manual Transfer Switch. Allow extra length to clear the joists/
studs. While adhering to all local electrical codes, route the
customer supplied conduit and wiring along ceiling/floor joists
and wall studs to the location where the conduit will pass through
the wall to the exterior of the house.
5. From the inside of the house, feed the end of the customer
supplied conduit through the wall to outside (Figure 27).

6. Remove the threaded lock nut from the conduit coupling (Figure
28).

7a. Lift cover of the power inlet box and remove the internal cover
plate screws and internal cover plate (Figure 29). Remove the
knock out in the lower center of the box. From the rear of the
connection box, feed wires into box. Slip the lock nut over wires
and tighten securely onto conduit coupling.
