InstallationandOperatingInstructions 1
Generac® transfer switches should be installed by a professional electrician familiar with electrical wiring and codes, and
experienced in working with generators. Generac accepts no responsibility for accidents, damages or personal injury
caused by incorrect installation. This transfer switch is intended for surface mounting INDOORS only. Our transfer
switches are UL listed to UL 1008 and meet the criteria of National Electrical code Article 702.6 for Optional Standby Sys-
tems.
If using the generator and transfer switch for larger appliances, such as electric water heaters, clothes dryers, electric
ranges and small air conditioners, check the labels on the appliances to be sure they do NOT exceed the rating of the gen-
erator. No appliance should have an amperage rating that exceeds the individual breaker rating in the transfer switch (20
or 30 amps).
