1.PLAN THE LOCATION OF YOUR GENERATOR

(Fig. A) shows the GUARDIAN Ultra Source 17,5000 watt portable generator placed outside the home and connected to the weather protective external box. The ground rod and ground strap show a suggested location only. When fully installed the ground rod will not protrude above ground level. NOTE: Do not place the generator directly under a window.

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 Drill Hole Through House

Drill Pass Through Hole

1-3/4”

Diameter Hole

With hole saw, drill hole through the sheathing and siding.

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.
