Electrical

Generator neutral is connected to Automatic Transfer Switch. See Generator AC Connection System.

Generator is grounded. See Grounding the Generator and

NFPA 70,NEC, Article 250.35B.

Generator is connected to the transfer switch with the specified wiring. See Utility Circuit Connection and

Transfer Switch Communication.

Generator is connected to the transfer switch with the specified wiring. #18AWG twisted pair wiring from the generator control panel to the transfer switch is installed in a separate conduit from high voltage wires unless the insulation rating on all wiring is rated for 600V. See

Transfer Switch Communication.

Dipswitches in most transfer switches must be set to correspond to the wattage of the generator. See Transfer

Switch Operator/Installation Manual.

Operation

Cold weather kit is installed in temperatures below 30°F (4°C). See Cold Weather Kit.

Correct battery type is installed and fully charged. See

Final Installation Considerations.

Generator engine oil level is at full mark. See Final

Installation Considerations.

Circuit breaker is in the ON position.

Utility was shut off to test the operation of generator and transfer switch. Note any fault codes and make corrections as required.
