ENGINE EXHAUST HAZARDS
• Generator engine exhaust contains DEADLY carbon monoxide, an
odorless, colorless poisonous gas. Breathing carbon monoxide
can cause: dizziness, throbbing temples, nausea, muscular
twitching, headache, vomiting, weakness and sleepiness, inability
to think clearly, fainting, unconsciousness or even death. If you
experience any carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms, move into
fresh air and immediately seek medical attention.
• Never operate the generator set with the generator inside any
garage or other enclosed area EVEN IF doors and windows are
open.

UNPACKING/INSPECTION
After unpacking, carefully inspect the contents for damage.
• This standby generator set is ready for installation with a factory
supplied and pre-mounted base pad and has a weather protective
enclosure that is intended for outdoor installation only.
• This UL listed, 2-pole switch is rated at 100 or 200 AC amperes at
250 volts maximum. The 100 Amp transfer switch is for indoor
use only. The 200 Amp transfer switch is for indoor/outdoor use
(if equipped).

If this generator is used to power electrical load
circuits normally powered by a utility power
source, it is required by code to install a transfer
switch. The transfer switch must effectively isolate
the electrical system from the utility distribution
system when the generator is operating (NEC 700,
701 & 702). Failure to isolate an electrical system
by such means will result in damage to the gen-
erator and also may result in injury or death to
utility power workers due to backfeed of electrical
energy.
If any loss or damage is noted at time of delivery, have the person(s)
making the delivery note all damage on the freight bill or affix their
signature under the consignor's memo of loss or damage.
If a loss or damage is noted after delivery, separate the damaged
materials and contact the carrier for claim procedures.
"Concealed damage" is understood to mean damage to the contents
of a package that is not in evidence at the time of delivery, but is
discovered later.
To properly open the roof, press down on the center top lip and
release the latch. If pressure is not applied from the top, the roof may
appear stuck. Always verify that the side lock is unlocked before
attempting to lift the roof.
NEC REQUIREMENTS
Local code enforcement may require that AFCI's be incorporated
into the transfer switch distribution panel. The Transfer Switch
provided with this generator has a distribution panel that will
accept AFCI's.
Siemens Part No. Q115AF - 15A or Q120AF - 20A can be
obtained from a local electrical wholesaler and will simply replace
any of the single pole circuit breakers supplied in the Transfer
Switch distribution panel.
