3.5 — Operating the Unit with an Automatic Transfer Switch
If the generator has been installed along with an automatic transfer switch, the engine may be started and stopped
automatically or manually.
NOTE: Refer to the applicable manual for any transfer switch being used and note the dangers during opera-
tion.
Normal operation is the generator in "Automatic" working with an automatic transfer switch. When the transfer switch
senses a utility failure or loss it will provide a start command to the generator, the generator will automatically start and
the transfer switch will transfer power to the load from utility to generator (emergency). It is important that both the gen-
erator and any connected automatic transfer switch(es) be properly connected and in "Automatic" mode for normal
operation to work.
3.6 — Operating the Unit with a Manual Transfer Switch
If the generator was installed in conjunction with a transfer switch capable of manual operation only, or when an auto-
matic transfer switch has failed and can only be transferred manually, the following procedure applies. A manually
operated transfer switch is one that will not provide automatic startup.
$
DO NOT attempt to operate a manual transfer switch, or an automatic transfer switch in the manual
mode, until all power supplies (utility and generator) to the transfer switch have been positively turned
OFF, or extremely dangerous, and possibly lethal, electrical shock can result.
Transfer switch enclosure doors should be kept closed and locked. Only authorized personnel should
be allowed access to the transfer switch interior. Extremely high and dangerous voltages are present
in the transfer switch.
