Completing the Installation
When you have wired all the load circuits in the transfer switch, only the white neutral wire
and the green ground wire remain.
1. Insert the white neutral wire into an unused opening in the neutral bar in the load
center and tighten the screw (Figure 4).
2. Insert the green ground wire into an unused opening in the ground bar, if existing, and
tighten the screw. If no ground bar exists, insert the green wire into an unused hole in
the neutral bar and tighten the screw.
3. Replace the cover to the load center.
4 Fill in the chart on the transfer switch to identify your emergency circuits and
corresponding circuit numbers in the load center.
5 Turn on all branch circuit breakers and the main breaker that were turned off for
installation in the load center.
6 Turn all switches on the transfer switch to the LINE position.
Installation is now complete.
Operating Instructions
Using your Reliance Transfer Switch and Your Portable Generator
You want your generator to be ready when you need it. Therefore, it is important to
perform the following steps at least once a month to keep the generator in peak running
condition.
• Start and run your generator under load regularly.
• Keep the fuel tank filled with fresh fuel.
It is not necessary to turn off any circuits in the load center when supplying generator
power with the transfer switch, even when the utility power is operating normally. The
double-throw action of these switches prevents feeding generator power to the utility and,
conversely, prevents feeding utility power to the generator.
Transferring from Utility Power to Generator Power
1. Plug the female connector of the generator power cord into the power inlet box or the
power inlet on the transfer switch. All circuit selector switches on the transfer switch
should be in the LINE or OFF position.
2. Insert the male plug of the power cord into the outlet on the generator.
3. Start the generator outdoors. Follow the procedures described in the generator
owner's manual furnished by the manufacturer of the generator.
Warning: Do not operate a generator in an enclosed area.
Do not operate a generator where the exhaust
fumes can accumulate in an enclosed area.
