INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Warning: Gen/Tran transfer switches should be installed by a professional electrician familiar with electrical wiring and codes, and experienced in working
with generators. Gen/Tran accepts no responsibility for accidents, damages or personal injury caused by incorrect installation. These transfer switches are
intended for surface or flush mounting INDOORS only.
Caution: If using the generator and transfer switch for larger appliances, such as electric water heaters, clothes dryers, electric ranges and small air
conditioners, check the labels on the appliances to be sure they do NOT exceed the rating of the generator. No appliance should have an amperage rating that
exceeds the “GENERATOR MAIN” rating in the transfer switch.
Thank you for purchasing the finest manual transfer switch available today. Gen/Tran’s PowerStay
