Balance must be maintained when moving circuit loca-
tions from main electrical distribution panel to emergency
load center. Circuit breaker positions alternate buss bars
vertically. Circuits sharing a neutral wire should either be
moved together to adjacent positions in emergency load
center or not moved. If unsure of the proper procedure or
if the installation differs from that described in this guide,
consult a licensed professional at this time.
12a. Remove the main electrical distribution panel cover.
Remove appropriate size knockout from the bottom or
side of the main panel. (A two foot flexible conduit is pre-
wired from the transfer switch with built-in load center).
Remove threaded lock nut from conduit coupling. Feed all
wires through knockout into main panel. Slip lock nut over
wires and tighten securely onto conduit coupling.
Connection of Emergency Circuits
12a
Circuits to be moved must be protected by same size
breaker. For example, a 15 amp 120 volt circuit in emer-
gency load center will replace a 15 amp 120 volt circuit in
main electrical distribution panel.
12b. In the main panel, remove the black (hot) wire from the
circuit breaker that protects a circuit to be powered in
the event of a power failure. Wire nut the black wire to
the matching circuit lead wire from the emergency circuit
breaker in the load center in the transfer switch. (All circuit
wires are color coded and labeled for easy identification).
UL listed wire locknuts are included in installation kit.
Trace each black (hot) wire connected and wire nut the
white (neutral) wire from the same Romex cable (circuit)
to the matching circuit number on the white (neutral) wire
from the emergency load center. Repeat for each circuit.
Repeat this process with the remaining circuits to be
powered by the generator.
Both grounded and ungrounded conductors must be
moved to the emergency panel and connected to the new
wiring from the emergency panel using supplied wire
nuts.

13. Install the 70 amp double pole circuit breaker; 10, 12,
14, 16, 17 and 20kW units or the 40 amp double pole
breaker; 8kW units (purchased or supplied separately),
into main electrical distribution panel. This circuit breaker
must be compatible with the main electrical distribu-
tion panel. It may be necessary to reposition remaining
circuit breakers or remove circuit breakers that have been
disconnected to accommodate the insertion of the 70
amp or 40 amp double pole circuit breaker. Connect white
wire to the main distribution panel neutral bar. Connect
solid green wire to main electrical panel ground bar.
Connect the black and red wires to the 70 amp or 40 amp
double pole circuit breaker. Reinstall the main distribution
panel cover.
