TRANSFER
SWITCH

8 • 2 0 6
The transfer switch automatically transfers power from the shore cord,
through the transfer switch and to the 110 Volt AC breaker panel. When the
generator is used the transfer switch has a time delay built into it. This allows
the generator time to warm up before an AC load is applied to it. The transfer
switch will automatically select the generator over shore power, even though
shore power is hooked up.
NOTE: To prevent damage to the transfer switch do not have
appliances on or AC loads plugged in outlets when hooking up
to shore power or starting generator. The transfer switch will
begin to disengage between 85-90 Volts AC. Operation at this
voltage may damage transfer switch, appliances or other items
plugged into outlets.
WARNING: Keep fingers away from metal contacts of shore
plug end. Avoid standing water. Serious electrical shock and
personal injury can occur. To avoid the risk of an electrical
shock turn the circuit breaker off for the shore power outlet
before making shore power connection.
