INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
A. Mounting the Transfer Switch
1. Position the transfer switch so that its bottom center is about
18 inches from the bottom center of your load center. The
end of the flexible conduit whip should be lined up with a 3/4"
knockout hole on the bottom of your load center (Figure 2).
2. Mark the position of the holes on the four external feet with a
pencil.
3. Anchor the transfer switch to the wall with four appropriate
anchors (with a flange of at least 3/8").
NOTE: Do not attempt to bend the flexible
conduit whip beyond its structural capabilities.
B. Connecting the Flexible Conduit Whip to
Your Load Center
1. Set up battery-powered lighting to clearly illuminate
your work area.
2. Turn off the main utility breaker (Figure 3).
3.
Remove the cover of your load center. Keep in mind that the
wires on the utility side of the main breaker are still live and if
contacted could cause serious injury or death. If available,
use a non-contact voltage detector to insure that the power is
off on the non-utility side of the main breaker.
4. Remove the appropriate knockout hole in the bottom of your
load center with a screwdriver and hammer. (See step A-1
above.)
5. Insert all of the wires extending from the end of the flexible
conduit whip through the knockout hole. Snap the conduit
connector attached to the whip into the knockout hole.
Even with the main power
switch turned off, the wires
on the utility side of the main
breaker are still live and
contact with them can cause
serious injury or death.
