Refer to the appropriate control panel operator’s

manual for this unit.

OPERATING UNIT WITH MANUAL

TRANSFER SWITCH

ENGINE START-UP AND TRANSFER 

For additional information, refer to the applicable

control panel manual for this unit, as well as any lit-

erature pertaining to the specific transfer switch.

DANGER



The Maintenance Disconnect Switch and the

AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switches (if so equipped)

must be set properly, or the generator will crank

and start as soon as the utility power to the

transfer switch is turned off. Refer to applicable

control panel and transfer switch manuals for

more information.



Do not proceed until certain that utility source

voltage is available to the transfer switch and

the transfer switch main contacts are set to

UTILITY.



Do not attempt manual operation until all power

supplies to the transfer switch have been posi-

tively turned off, or extremely dangerous - pos-

sibly lethal - electrical shock will result.



Transfer switch enclosure doors should be kept

closed and locked. Only authorized personnel

should be allowed access to the transfer switch

interior. Extremely high and dangerous voltages

are present in the transfer switch.

In order to transfer load from the utility source to the

generator, follow these directions:

• Turn OFF or disconnect the utility power circuit

to the transfer switch, using the means provided

(such as the utility source main line circuit break-

er).

• Set the transfer handle to its UTILITY (NORMAL)

position with load circuits connected to the utility

power supply.

• Set the generator’s main line circuit breaker to its

OFF (or OPEN) position.

• Start the generator.



Do not crank the engine continuously for longer

than 30 seconds, or the heat may

damage the starter motor.

• Let engine stabilize and warm up.

• Check all applicable instrument and gauge read-

ings. When certain that all readings are correct,

move the transfer switch manual handle to the

STANDBY position, i.e., load circuits supplied by

the generator.

• Set the generator’s main line circuit breaker to its

ON (or CLOSED) position.

• Load circuits are now powered by the generator.

RETRANSFER AND SHUTDOWN 

For additional information, refer to the applicable

control panel manual for this unit, as well as any lit-

erature pertaining to the specific transfer switch.

To transfer the load back to the utility power source

and shut down the generator, follow these direc-

tions:

• Set the generator’s main line circuit breaker to its

OFF (or OPEN) position.

• Manually move the transfer switch handle to its

UTILITY (NORMAL) position, i.e., load circuits

connected to the utility.

• Turn ON the utility power supply to the transfer

switch, using the means provided (such as the util-

ity power source main line circuit breaker).

• Let the generator run at no-load for a few minutes

to stabilize internal temperatures.

• Shut down the generator.

OPERATING UNIT WITH AUTOMATIC

TRANSFER SWITCH

If the Stationary Emergency Generator has been

installed with an automatic transfer switch, such

as an RTS, HTS, or GTS-type transfer switch, the

engine may be started and stopped automatically or

manually.

NOTE:

Refer to the applicable manual for your trans-

fer switch and to “Transfer Switch Start Signal

Connections”. In addition, please note the dangers

under “Engine Start-up and Transfer.”
