prescribed level by means of a
contact closure that is generated
automatically by a transfer switch.

NOTE

Starting (Auto Mode)

Before connecting this generator to any
building’s electrical system, a

licensed

electrician must install an isolation
(transfer)
switch. Serious damage to the
building’s electrical system may occur
without this transfer switch.

DANGER - ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAZARDS

When connecting the generator to a isolation (transfer)
switch, ALWAYS have power applied to the generator's
internal battery charger. This will ensure that the engine
will not fail due to a dead battery.
