STEP 1. Plug in the female connector of the Power Cord to the Power Inlet Box OR Transfer Switch. Be sure that all switches on the Transfer Switch are in the LINE or OFF position.
STEP 2. Insert the male connector of the Power Cord into the outlet on the generator.
STEP 3. Start the generator outdoors, following the procedures described in the generator's owner's manual.
STEP 4. Select the circuits to be powered by the generator by moving the corresponding Transfer Switches to the GEN position. Use only necessary household items when under generator power, and alternate use of larger loads (furnace motors, well pumps, freezers, etc.). While in the GEN position, each circuit is limited by the Transfer Switch circuit breaker. If you have selected a circuit that draws more than this, it will be necessary to selectively turn off some of the loads on that circuit. Test your circuits by using the watt meters or determine wattage from that shown on each appliance. Make a note of any excessive loads that must be removed from a given circuit during generator operation.
