This installation guide should be used in conjunction with the "Installation and Owner's Manual" that is fur-
nished with the Air-cooled Standby Generator. Please review both manuals prior to installation of the
generator and transfer switch. This Automatic Transfer Switch/Load Center is not intended for use with the
Liquid-cooled Generator product line. This unit is not compatible with other generator manufacturer's products.
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this 100 Amp Automatic Transfer
Switch/Load Center with Express Install Kit. The Express Install
Kit includes:
• 30 foot, five foot, and two foot pre-wired conduits for making all
required wiring runs.
• An outdoor junction box for making connections between out-
door and indoor pre-wired conduits.
• UL listed wire nuts for reconnecting emergency circuits within
the main distribution panel.
The 100 Amp Automatic Transfer Switch/Load Center with Express
Install Kit can be installed along with a 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 or 17kW
Air-cooled Standby Generator, or can be used to pre-wire a home
or small business in advance of generator installation. In either
case, the Express Install Kit saves installation time and cost, since
the majority of labor involved in installing a standby power system
is in wiring the generator, automatic transfer switch and emer-
gency circuit subpanel.
Four commonly used safety symbols accompany the DANGER,
WARNING and CAUTION blocks. The type of information each
indicates follows:
Indicates a hazardous situation or action which, if
not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation or action which,
if not avoided, could result in death or serious
Indicates a hazardous situation or action which,
if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate
Notes contain additional information important to a procedure
and will be found within the regular text body of this manual.
These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards that they
indicate. Common sense and strict compliance with the special
instructions while performing the action or service are essential to
preventing accidents.

PLEASE NOTE:
Four commonly used safety symbols accompany the DANGER,
WARNING and CAUTION blocks. The type of information each
indicates is as follows:
This symbol points out important safety
information that, if not followed, could
endanger personal safety and/or property of
others.
This symbol points out potential explosion
hazard.
This symbol points out potential fire hazard.
This symbol points out potential electrical
shock hazard.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – The manufacturer sug-
gests that these rules for safe operation be copied and
posted near the unit's installation site. Safety should be
stressed to all operators and potential operators of this
equipment.
The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible circumstance
that might involve a hazard. The warnings in this manual, and on
tags and decals affixed to the unit are therefore, not all-inclusive. If
using a procedure, work method or operating technique the manu-
facturer does not specifically recommend, ensure that it is safe for
all personnel. Also make sure the procedure, work method or oper-
ating technique chosen does not render the equipment unsafe.
• Utility power delivers extremely high and dangerous voltages to
the transfer switch as does the standby generator when it is in
operation.
• Do not handle any kind of electrical device while stand-
ing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet.
DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY RESULT.
• In case of accident caused by electric shock, immediately
shut down the source of electrical power. If this is not pos-
sible, attempt to free the victim from the live conductor. AVOID
DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM. Use a non-conducting
implement, such as a rope or board, to free the victim from the
live conductor. If the victim is unconscious, apply first aid and
get immediate medical help.
• Never wear jewelry when working on this equipment. Jewelry
can conduct electricity resulting in electric shock, or may get
caught in moving components causing injury.
