Wire nut the black wire to the matching
circuit lead wire from the emergency
circuit breakerfrom load center in the
transferswitch.(Allcircuit wiresare color
coded
and
labeled
for
easy
identification).
UL approved wire
Iocknuts are included in installation kit.
Tracethe black (hot)wireyou havejust

13b.Installthe40 Ampor 70 Ampdoublepole
circuit breakerthat you have purchased
(See detailon page6) intomainelectrical
distribution panel. This circuit breaker
must be compatiblewith your main
electricaldistribution panel. It may be
necessary to repositionremainingcircuit
breakersor removecircuit breakersthat
havebeendisconnected to accommodate t he insertion of the 40 Amp
or 70Ampdoublepolecircuitbreaker.Connect white wireto the main

70 Ampdoublepolecircuit breaker.
14. Recommended batteryis automotive type
Group 26 12V negative ground with
minimum350 CCAat 0° F (7 kW)or a
minimum525 CgAat 0° F(10 kW,13 kW
and 16 kW).The hold down clamp is
included. Connect positive (+) (red)
cable to positive (+) battery post.
Connect negative (-) (black) ground
cableto negative (-) batterypost.
WARNING S etthegenerator's AUTO / OFF / MANUAL switch to"OFF."
Turnoff utilitypowersupply to thetransferswitch.If the AUTO /
OFF ! MANUAL switch isnotsetto its"OFF"position, thegenerator
cancrankand startas soonas the battery cablesare connected.
WARNING I f theutilitypowersupply isnot turned off, sparking can
occurat thebatteryposts andcausean explosion.
NOTE: Dielectricgreaseshould be usedon batteryposts to aid in
the prevention o f corrosion.
NOTE: I n areas where temperatures regularlyfall below10° F
(-12° O) it is recommended that a pad type batteryheater be
installed to aid in coldclimatestarting.
