breaker compartment cover, unscrew the terminal screw in the breaker to be removed,
removed the wire, tilt the top of the circuit breaker towards you and lift up and out.
Reverse the procedure to install another breaker. In addition, positions A and B (but
only these positions) will accommodate 30-amp circuit breakers.

This product is UL approved for use with the following field-installed breakers:

Siemens

Type

QP

Square

D

Type

HOM

Eaton Cutler-Hammer

Type BR

Murray Type

MP

30 amps maximum in positions A and B, 20 amps maximum in all other positions.

Rating of a transfer switch circuit breaker should not exceed the rating of the
corresponding branch circuit breaker in the load center.

Do not install any breaker larger than 20 amps., except in positions A and B
which may be 30 amps.

Installing 120-volt Circuits

Warning: Transfer switch circuits with 20 amp breakers must be installed on only
those branch circuits with 20 amp branch circuit breakers. Transfer switch circuits
with 15 amp breakers can be installed on 15 or 20 amp branch circuits. Do not
install any transfer switch circuit on branch circuits greater than 20 amps,
except in position A and B which maybe 30 amps.

Wire the most critical circuits first, starting with any circuit position on the transfer
switch. Let's assume that Switch C will be designated to supply power to the
refrigerator.

1. Turn off the refrigerator circuit breaker. Loosen the screw that secures the wire to the

circuit breaker. Disconnect the wire from the circuit breaker.

2. On the transfer switch, find the black and red wires marked C.

3. Feed the red wire to the selected breaker, in this case the refrigerator breaker.

4. Cut the red wire C to a convenient length. Strip approximately 5/8" from the end of the

wire. Connect the red wire to the refrigerator circuit breaker and retighten the screw.

5. Cut the black wire C to a convenient length for aligning with the wire removed from the

refrigerator circuit breaker in step 1. Strip approximately 5/8" from the end of the wire.

6. Insert both wires (the wire removed from the circuit breaker in step 1 and the black

wire) into a yellow wire connector. Twist the connector tightly and push the wires back
into the wiring compartment of the load center.

This completes the installation of the transfer switch for your refrigerator.

Repeat steps 1-6 for each of the remaining considering the following:

• See the following section for 240-volt circuits and the removal of handle ties if

240-volt circuits are not required.

• Remember to "balance the load"—dividing the appliances requiring higher

wattage between the left and right sides of the transfer switch.
