OPERATION
TO OPEN THE UNIT
If you are going to start the generating set and there Is a remote
start-stop switch In the house, garage, etc., It Is unnecessary to
open the compartment.
With an automatic transfer switch for remote start models, the
generating set Is automatically started when a power outage
occurs, and the load Is automatically transferred to the set. When
normal power retums, the load Is automatically transferred back to
the utility power source and the generating set is stopped. You can
open the unit and start the generating set using these instructions
for exercising, testing, etc., if you desire.
1. Remove the lock from the lock hasp on the rear of
the housing (Figure 12).
2. After the lock is removed, set the hasp so it rests
on top of housing. Do not open housing by pul-
ling on hasp.
