9a. The 2 foot conduit that is pre-wired into the manual
transfer switch is not fastened to the side of the
enclosure when shipped. To secure the conduit to the
manual switch enclosure proceed as follows. Remove
the cover panel of the manual transfer switch with
emergency load center. Insert the 2 foot conduit into
the knockout and tighten the lock nut securely on the
inside of the enclosure.
NOTE: Balance must be maintained when moving circuit
locations 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 you are unsure of proper procedure or if your
installation differs from that described in this guide, consult a
licensed professional at this time.
10a. Remove the main electrical distribution panel cover.
Remove appropriate size knockout from the bottom
or side of the main panel. (A 2-foot flexible conduit is
pre-wired from the manual 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.
NOTE: Circuits to be moved must be protected by same size
breaker. For example, a 15 amp 120V circuit in emergency load
center will replace a 15 amp 120V circuit in main panel.
NOTE: Both grounded and ungrounded conductors for each
circuit must be moved to the emergency panel and connected to
to the new wiring from the emergency panel using supplied
locknuts.
10b. In your main panel, remove the black (hot) wire from
a circuit breaker that protects a circuit you want to
have powered in the event of a power failure. Wire nut
the black wire to the matching circuit lead wire from
the emergency circuit breaker from load center in the
transfer switch. (All circuit wires are color coded and
labeled for easy identification). Repeat this process
with remaining circuits to be powered by the
generator.
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. (See page 31)
The emergency load center in the transfer switch
supplies the following circuits: (5) 15A/120V, (5)
20A/120V, (1) 20A/240V, (1) 40A/240V and (1)
50A/240V.
11. Install the 60 Amp double pole circuit breaker that you
have purchased into main electrical distribution panel.
This circuit breaker must be compatible with your
main electrical distribution panel. It may be
necessary to reposition remaining circuit breakers or
remove circuit breakers that have been disconnected
to accommodate the insertion of the 60 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 60 Amp double pole circuit
breaker. Replace electrical distribution panel cover.
Your GENERAC Manual
Transfer Switch is now installed.
NOTE: If additional circuits are required to be protected.
Generac offers an additional 30A manual transfer switch and
30A Power Inlet Kit (Model 5341). This kit can be ordered direct
from the factory 1-800-747-1530 (Option 2).
